Comment: Bois Bourbon is a Luckyscent exclusive
To commemorate its tenth anniversary, Luckyscent launched four exclusive fragrances dedicated to the city of Los Angeles, with each one reflecting a different aspect of that city.

With the exception of Lys du Desert, this collection was conceived by Jerome Epinette. Bois Bourbon focuses on LA's rich literary history and is a sweet and spicy woody affair. It commences with a suggestive booziness, accentuated by spices and a discreet molasses-like sweetness. One doesn't really detect any florals, but the gradual emergence of cedar is unmistakeable.

Later exhibiting a subtle smokiness, once again, its performance on the skin is very underwhelming. For such an important milestone, one would have expected Luckyscent to really pull out the stops.
