No.04 - Bois de Balincourt Maison Louis Marie Eau de Parfum

The scent strongly resembles the well-known Santal 33 by Le Labo, but for a quarter of the price. The fragrance starts with the bright, slightly scratchy Dandewood note and only becomes somewhat softer as it develops. The scent is absolutely unisex, has moderate longevity, and a rather close-to-skin sillage, making it not a beast like the aforementioned fragrance.
Bois de Balincourt is a lovely scent if you enjoy sandalwood and don’t want to spend a fortune. It’s for those who want to smell clean and well-groomed and don’t lean towards the typical DNA, like fruity floral or sweet.
If you like fragrances such as Santal 33 or Gris Charnel by bdk, it’s definitely worth a test.
