## Top reviews
- ★5/5 — Spring, Summer — Casual, Office — "Simply amazing"
- ★5/5 — "Very embarrassing name, Bois d'Orage being much more appropriate, poetically linked to the inspiration (Angéliques Sous La Pluie) and not at all embarrassing and/or indicative of French cultural hubris (there's no word for hubris in French). The perfume is great, but is surprisingly fleeting considering how robust the opening is. Still, I love it, and if asked I say I'm wearing Bois d'Orage."
