Which Should You Buy?
Bois Noir is a divisive, woody beast - a sophisticated autumn walk in a bottle for some, an acrid, headache-inducing pencil shaving for others. Try before you buy, but if the dark woods speak to you, it's a stellar, unique choice.
A budget clone of Robert Piguet's Bois Noir. The dark, smoky woody character with its guaiac, patchouli and resinous labdanum lands recognisably, and since the original already leans synthetic-woody, this budget version closes much of the usual gap.
