I adore this house and the bottles are so elegant! I am thinking of adding Bois D’Amande and Rose Rouge to my collection after hearing your reviews. They sound lovely!
I’m happy to see this lone getting the love it deserves. It’s one of my favourite lines and i find the whole range well curated and very well done. I have Bois d’Iris and California Reverie, and have Bois Dore on the way as we speak! I was torn between Bois Dore and Rose Rouge but only want wanted to get one. Now i feel like i should get Rose Rouge as well. Ugh lol I prefer Rose Rouge over the Maison Lancome roses though! I find the Lancomes so heavy, this is much more wearable, and i adore vetiver notes in womens’ fragrances, it gives a bit of a slightly masculine twist that i love.
I have Bois Dore - its nice but not much longevity so not sure if this house would work unless some of them last longer. Its mostly a scent I use for bedtime. Have you tried Serge Lutens? I get better lasting power with that house.
Thanks for the detailed review! So far, the only ones I've tried are Orchidee Vanille and Bois D'ore, but I am interested in Santal Blanc? Have you tried it?
I have one, Santale Blanc and it's gorgeous, elegant, and addictive. I'd love to get Ambre Imperial and Bois Dore....now you have me curious about Orchid Leather!
Offf…. i was chosing between Bois Dore and Oud Blanc, and chose Bois Dore. Now I think Oud is more sexy and bold, and I regret my choice. What do you think?!!
I like them both but I have to say I prefer Bois Dore, I think the almond gives it a little something extra! Oud Blanc is also nice but it can be a bit sharp.
Hi, I believe I heard someone mention it in a video and when I checked it was no longer at any US retailers. So I’m not 100% sure, but I thought it best to buy it now just in case. 😬
I just got a tiny sample of California Reverie this week which I’ve wanted to try for so long.. when I first tried it I liked it quite well, it really reminded me of Trussardi Donna. But then I tried it again last night and it was so absolutely musty and dusty smelling! I’m not sure what I think of it yet 😂 Some of these other ones are on my list to try someday as well!
I have both CR and Trussardi Donna-they do have some similarities as they’re sort of like the same “genre”, but Donna is much sweeter and heavier of the white florals, California Reverie has an airy quality to it, is more citrusy, more fleeting as well. Donna lasts all day on me. I totally get what you mean about the musty smelling, somehow it’s more prominent from the bottle than from the (many, many) samples i bought and fell in love with It’s still beautful despite that
i also love and have 5 (previously 6) pieces of them - bois d´iris, bois doré and orchidée vanille are my most fave and most worn fragrances

Bore Dore is also lovely so good choice either way! 😊
Great review! I have 4 in my collection: Gardenia Petale, Rose Rouge, California Reverie and Orchidee Vanille. Love them all!

I feel like I get good longevity from Rose Rouge and others, but I usually reapply my scents midday.

I haven’t tried Santal Blanc, but I did get Oud Blanc and reviewed that in another video. 🙂
Santal Blanc is gorgeous! If you love woody fig scents I'm sure you'll love it

I’ve added Oud Blanc since this video but haven’t had the chance to try Santal Blanc yet. 🙂

How about midnight rose 🌹 🤔 i wonder if it lasts have a beautiful day georgeous
I haven’t had a chance to try that, but it sounds nice!
Have you tested any more from this line since this video was made? I am so curious about the house 🇨🇦
Yes I have a new one in an upcoming haul! 🙂
Hi which one of these would you recommend for a man
I think several of these could work well for men, such as Moonlight Patchouli, Ambre Imperial and Neroli Amara.
Which one is more sweet and feminine?? Bois Dore or Bois Amande?
Sorry I missed this earlier. Bois Dore is sweeter to me.
I blind bought rose rouge, keeping my fingers crossed it's what I imagine it 😀
Hope you love it! 🤗
Are you sure rose rouge is getting discontinued? Can you share the link please, that is unfortunate.

Oh no, I don’t think it does that on me! Hopefully you will find another in the line that works better for you. 😊
@@claireinbloom I’m going to try it in some different weather conditions and see if that makes a difference! 😁

Beautiful review
Bois dore can work on a man or its leaning fem?
It’s sweet, but I think anyone who likes woody vanillas can wear it!
Do you happen to know if the 45ml bottle is the same as the 75ml bottle?
I believe it’s similar but I’ve never had one of the smaller bottles.
❤
I just got Orchidee Vanille and Bois d'iris and omg 🫶🏾 I would love to build a collection like yours one day 🔥🔥🔥 amazing fragrances
I just got Bois D’Iris as well! Already have Rose Rouge ☺️
Did you love the Iris ?
@Cat Lady it's beautiful! Sweet and powdery I love it... rose rouge is on my list as well❤️
