Where people disagree

  • “It's supposedly a dupe of Bois Imperial. After smelling it, if you're expecting Bois Imperial type of scent, you're going to be disappointed. If it's trying to be Bois Imperial, then it failed. If it's their own interpretation of it/twist,”

  • “Bois Blanc: this was a tester of 5ml i bought cause i was looking for bois imperial dupe. This was not a Bois Imperial dupe AT ALL.”

    reddit post ↗
  • “after giving it extended wear I wouldn’t buy it again as a dupe of the OG or its own thing. Probably my biggest blind buy fail this year. Gorgeous bottle though! Just not BI or particularly close even in the air”

    reddit ↗
  • “Tried Bois Blanc and absolutely hated it. Theres something in it that smells really unsettling to my nose. I love Bois Imperial, so this was a huge disappointment. Whatever they used in Bois Blanc completely killed it for me.”

    reddit ↗
  • “There is absolutely no way this is close in any shape or form to Bois Imperial.”
