Love Bois Impérial. No idea what that molecule smells like lol. Have fun at the beach.

I actually prefer it to M01 by Escentric Molecules, so if you like that one, I can recommend sampling it. I'm nearing the point of ordering my 4th bottle of it 😅

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

Bois Imperial is such a clean profile that layers well with pretty much everything I've thrown at it. The extrait is like a thicker version of the EdP with an added barn-y leather and an ever so
