Scent story

Bousval is inspired by my mother's hometown in Belgium, where summers were spent outdoors — walking with her dogs, foraging by the pond, and living simply in nature. This scent captures that untamed elegance with a modern, green-citrus blend: bright notes of Valencia orange, Italian bergamot, and white cardamom open into a heart of ginger flower and eucalyptus. Oakmoss and misted musk add an earthy softness, like sunlit linen after a day spent outside. A fresh take on quiet countryside living — modern cottagecore in a bottle.

Reviews

Tried a new scent. . .

"I bought two of the small roller oils. I ordered my second Vallee de Farney and thought I would try the Bousval. I did not like it at all. Should've read the fine print - it's not returnable. :-("

— Laura G. (1/5)

Lovely (im!)pulse

"Im so pleased. . On my skin the citrus of the orange isn’t a clear note but it’s pleasant and sweet."

— Jeanette N. (5/5)

Pleasing and Lovely. Makes me Happy!

"I love this scent. It is light and pleasant. Not every scent works well with everyone's chemistry, but for me this is the one. I gave it 4 stars only because it doesn't linger as long as I'd like."

Has made me realize perfume can be a work of art

"This scent is incredible. After sniffing a couple of perfume oils at a store last summer, and not getting a headache, I kept thinking back to them, and recently decided to aquatint myself with Maison Louis fragrances. During the Black Friday sale, I got two of the build your own sets (six fragrances total). I tried one a day. Many were very pleasant, and there was only one I actually did not like (Bois de Balincourt). Bousval, however, stood out as absolutely amazing. An overall warm spice dominates at first, then in the dry down, the spice falls off considerably, and what is left is this soft warm slightly sweet, but not saccharine, smell. It reminds me of the sweet smell of warm pine needles, though it definitely is not that smell. For me it evokes vegetation, both living and dead, that as warmed up in the sun. Not being well versed in the language of fragrance, and I am having a difficult time describing it. It is an emotional experience, like a painting, a beautiful garden, or a piece of music. I used the store locator, and found a local shop where I bought the full sized bottle. I hope this scent is never altered and always available. I'm hooked."
