By the editors · 2 min readBois Farine opens with an unexpectedly dusty sweetness—the scent of flour rising from warm wood, as though someone has been baking in a carpenter's workshop. There's a gentle almond note, not the bitter extract but the pale, powdery interior of the nut itself, mingling with iris that lends a soft, cosmetic quality to the composition. It feels simultaneously edible and abstract.
As it develops, the flour accord becomes more pronounced, evoking the mineral coolness of raw wheat and rice powder rather than anything overtly gourmand. The wood beneath remains quiet and smooth, providing structure without demanding attention. This is not a sweet vanillic comfort but something more austere and quietly peculiar.
Best suited to those who find fascination in the mundane—the smell of provisions stored in wood bins, linen cupboards, or the pale interior of an almond. It occupies an unusual space between food and fragrance, familiar yet somehow foreign.
