Which Should You Buy?
Miel de Bois is a truly divisive Serge Lutens creation. For some, it's a rich, natural woody honey masterpiece, a comforting embrace. For others, it veers into 'cat pee' territory, a challenging and even off-putting scent. Test before you invest in this discontinued enigma.
Bois Farine is an absolute enigma, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent that's either a stroke of genius or a puzzling mistake. Expect dry wood, powder, and a generous sprinkle of 'peanut candy' that promises a truly unique ride.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong, often intense honey and woody accords, Miel de Bois is too bold for an office setting. Its unique and sensual character makes it ideal for dates and comfortable evening wear, though some might find it suitable for more formal events if applied sparingly.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and unique, often peculiar, scent profile make it ideal for casual wear or an office environment where it won't overwhelm. It's too odd for most formal settings and too subtle for a classic date scent, though some find its intriguing nature romantic.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Powdery, Iris accords and Musk, Iris notes
