The review
Worth a try. That is where No.04 Bois de Balincourt lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Santal 33.
Maison Louis Marie sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Santal 33's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Louis Marie publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: cardamom, iris and violet up top, ambrox and papyrus in the middle, sandalwood, cedar and leather underneath — the shape of Le Labo Santal 33.
Top
- cardamom
- iris
- violet
Heart
- ambrox
- papyrus
Base
- sandalwood
- cedar
- leather
For the modern nomad. Dry cardamom and iris give way to creamy sandalwood and leather — the cult signature of a generation.
