No.04 - Bois de Balincourt Eau de Parfum by Maison Louis Marie | Fragrance Fragrance
What does No.04 - Bois de Balincourt smell like?
No.04 - Bois de Balincourt is a skeletal, modern take on the woody spicy genre that focuses heavily on the structural beauty of timber. It opens with an immediate dry punch of cedarwood and sandalwood...
The fragrance is widely recognized for a polarizing "pickle-like" opening caused by its specific sandalwood and cedar blend, though most users agree this sharpness fades within ten minutes to reveal a smooth woody scent.
Performance is generally considered moderate; while it provides a consistent personal scent bubble, it is not known for heavy projection, and some users find they need to reapply throughout the day to maintain its presence.
It is frequently cited as a more accessible alternative to high-end sandalwood fragrances like Santal 33, though some enthusiasts also note similarities to the complex spiciness of Diptyque's 34 Boulevard Saint Germain.
Fragrance fans recommend this as an ideal daily-wear scent, particularly for business or leisure settings, due to its clean, non-intrusive nature.
While it can be worn year-round, the community favors it most during the transitional seasons of fall and spring when its dry woodiness complements the changing weather.
