Jessica Chastain Called This $36 Fragrance Her ‘Perfume of the Summer’

Some celebrities wear the same perfume all year round — but not Jessica Chastain! As soon as June rolls around, she swaps out her entire fragrance wardrobe for Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt.

Chastain waxed poetic to Vogue about her love for perfume, explaining how she wears a different scent for every character she plays to really immerse herself in the role. With the weather heating up, she said Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt is her “perfume of the summer.” Even better, you can get it on Amazon for just $36!

Bois de Balincourt is one of the only woody scents I’ve smelled that’s perfect for the summer months. While many wood-centric perfumes can be deep, enveloping and frankly overwhelming, this one has a soft, creamy breeziness to it. Spritzing it feels like being wrapped in the lightest cashmere blanket while watching a kaleidoscopic summer sunset.

On the first spritz, it feels warm and creamy as sandalwood and cedarwood intertwine. As it wears, you get a light spiciness from nutmeg and cinnamon before it settles in a glowing ambery cocoon. Despite all of the warm notes, it glimmers similarly to morning light and lies very close to skin rather than enveloping you in a roaring, expansive ring of scent.

If you were to choose between the full-size and the travel set, I recommend the latter because a little goes a long way, and the smaller flacons will probably last you for years. With the set, you get a perfume oil roller ball and a TSA-approved spritzer, so two versions of the scent for under $40. Plus, considering how posh the scent smells, shoppers say the price is tough to beat.

“Worth the money. It’s a very luxurious smell,” one reviewer wrote. Another shopper said they “Don’t want to be without it” because it “smells so nice.”

Could Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt become your go-to summer scent? If you ask Jessica Chastain, it should. After one whiff, you’ll be hooked!
