Can't resist this Bisch

French Affair by Ex NihiloEx NihiloFrench Affair3.938 ratings

Finally, a Quentin Bisch creation I can actually love! The man knows what he's about, but I normally struggle with his addiction to akigalawood. None of that to be found in French Affair, bless!

This fragrance is gorgeously blended, velvety dark green and red. No aldehydes to prickle the nose, so you're left drowsing on a soft bed of moss and rose petals, surrounded by looming cedars and shy violets in the undergrowth. An ode to Aramis, made to romance the wearer in the golden hour.

If you enjoy booming 70s chypres but want something that feels more modern and less like a bar of Dial soap, give this affair a try.

    This is a review I needed to read. Been totally ignoring this as I expected to get Bisch’s akigalawood overdose in it. Now I’ve added it to the whiff list wish list. Thank you! 🤗
