Diffuser No.04 Bois de Balincourt

The scent our stylists reach for when they want the whole studio to feel like a place you’d linger. No.04 Bois de Balincourt is Maison Louis Marie’s most-loved fragrance, and in reed-diffuser form it fills a room quietly and completely, no flame, no fuss, no button to remember to press.

It opens warm and woody: creamy sandalwood and cedar wrapped around a whisper of cinnamon and nutmeg, then settled by earthy vetiver and soft amber wood. The result reads cozy and grown-up at once, equally at home on a bathroom vanity, a bedside table, or the entry console where guests catch it first. Bois de Balincourt is the fragrance the brand built its name on for a reason.

Each bottle holds 8 fl oz (250 ml) of alcohol-free fragrance oil and scents a room for roughly three months. The formula is made in California with the same fine-fragrance oils Maison Louis Marie uses across its candles and perfume oils, so the throw is generous without turning sharp or synthetic. When you want a little more presence, simply flip the reeds.

How to Use

Remove the stopper, fan the reeds, and stand them in the bottle on a flat, stable surface away from direct heat or air vents. Give it a few hours to bloom. Flip the reeds every week or two to refresh the intensity. One set lasts around three months.

We keep No.04 on the shelf at the Studio Beige atelier in Destin because clients kept asking what the room smelled like. Come in for your appointment, breathe it in behind the chair, and take a bottle home the same afternoon, no shipping wait, no guessing whether the scent is you. It almost always is.
