L'Artisan Parfumeur Bois Farine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Bois Farine settles into a heart of Woody, Musk, Powdery, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, and Benzoin. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Bois Farine carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.

About

It opens with an immediate dry, floury woodiness, a bit like a dusty old wooden box, quickly joined by unusual nutty hints that many describe as peanut or almond flour. The heart brings in a cool, powdery iris, complementing the warmth of sandalwood and cedar. Benzoin and musk provide a subtle, creamy undertone, creating a comforting yet distinctly peculiar drydown.
