No.04 Bois de Balincourt Hand Crème

A rich hand cream with a hint of romance. 

The Bois de Balincourt scent is inspired by the Maison Louis Marie founders’ family home, nestled deep within an ancient forest. Along a trail they call Lover’s Lane, generations wandered under towering trees, surrounded by stillness and memory. This signature scent layers creamy sandalwood and cedar with warming cinnamon and nutmeg, anchored by earthy vetiver—a romantic, comforting fragrance with effortless depth. 

We love this product because it’s more scent-forward than most hand creams, making it stand out from the ones you typically throw in your bag. It’s also a great gift to give to a friend who’s passionate about fragrance or just loves unexpected touches of beauty in her life.
