Miel De Bois (for women and men)

Petula30

Well, I got this one as a gift from my dear friend as he knows I love Serge Lutens..but it doesn´t work for me, I sniff and I love it, honey and iris,but my skin doesn´t agree.

Oh, other that from all perfum. It name says directly, true - in the bottle we have smell of wood honey. There is wild honey, bit bitter with aromatic note woood. This smell is as hot summer day, somewhere under forest, on great grassland full of flower, smelling honey. Over flowers flying clouds butterfly and bees. Calm and rattling of bee. Forest aroma too . There is a bit mint, too. Miel de Bois is thick, very sound, relaxing. It is not common-place beautiful. It is very natural, rich. Fascinating. Absolutely original and excentric. Topping.Nice. I like it very, very much.

Beautiful! I get the honey, the woods, and the bees. I don't get any of the "skank" (in the words of the Perfume Posse) or urinal notes (as per Luca Turin). This one begs to be tested on the skin. I have gone through two samples of this one already and I'm working on a third. I think its time for a full bottle.

I think Miel de Bois is a wonderful fragrance. There is a special feature of a pure honey essence. This olfactive sensation is like to be involved by an oriental and mysterious aura on all the body on egypthian and noble fabrics. The scent reminds me of balsamic honey produced by powerful bees that attract the nose for a fragrant tramp, bewitched and very sweet as to drink this honey.

I had to put this one aside immediately, civet or some animal odour's too pronounced for my liking.

oh my goodness, i don't think iris agrees with me! i have noticed that quite a few fragrances that have iris or orris root in them make me feel queasy, and this one certainly fits that bill. the iris became overwhelming after a few minutes and i was forced to try and scrub it off. i was shopping in Kensington market one day with my husband, and we went into a store to check out some vintage clothing...that exact same smell was filling the shop and although i am used to a lot of vendors using incense in their stores in kensington, i had to make a quick exit. i continued to feel nauseous and developed an 'aura' (for those who do not know, the beginning of a migraine)so we quickly left and headed home. i was out of commission the rest of the night. long story short, this perfume is a thumbs down for me, but i would think that if you liked iris you would appreciate the longevity and tenacity of this scent, i am having a hard time getting it off my arm.

I think this is the next SL I shall be buying. I received a sample and have been in love with it ever since. SL made a masterful combination of honey and wood.

Yes, it is very comforting, like a walk in the woods - white honey with white woods. I like to wear it in pair with floral by SL, I like to scent my hands with Miel de Bois.

This is such a nice and beautiful fragrance. So comforting, warm and simply irresistable. I like it so much. But also, the bottle is so elegant and the outer box. Really special.
