Bois Farine in detail
L'Artisan Parfumeur, the Paris house founded in 1976 by Jean Laporte, counts Bois Farine in La Collection, which gathers its signature scents. Jean-Claude Ellena imagined it after the flowers of a tree from Réunion Island, Ruizia cordata; the house files it among its woody fragrances.
The house publishes three key ingredients, without sorting them into stages. Wheat, a rebuilt note, evokes the ear and the flour. Powdery orris extends this dry, soft, powder-like impression. Creamy, milky sandalwood gives the fragrance its woody base.
Bois Farine is worn by day, in spring and autumn: at the office, at the weekend, or by anyone who likes discreet skin scents. It is a tender, almost gourmand woody fragrance that never weighs heavy. The house describes Jean-Claude Ellena's approach as minimalist, and this fragrance shows it well.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share its orris and sandalwood: Bosco by Sospiro, Gris Charnel by BDK Parfums and Santal Calling by Ex Nihilo, in richer compositions.
