Essential ParfumsBois Impérial4.1152 ratingsI forgot I left this lovely sample in my desk at work when I first tried it a few weeks ago! A nice surprise given our current circumstances!

If I had to pick a signature scent, this combo would be in the top 3 candidates. 1 spray of BI on each collarbone, 1 behind the neck, and 1 spray of M234.38 behind each ear and to the sternum.

I feel kind of basic when I try a popular/much hyped fragrance, then end up LOVING it. I totally get the appeal of this one; a true unisex, bright, light, wood that’s not too heavy for warmer

This was very disappointing. I was hoping with how much this one is glazed it would be the true Quentin Bisch masterpiece everyone says it is. Seems very "old school", but not barbershop. I'm glad I
