Very similar to feminity de bois, a little too much for my taste! I loved the Shiseido version of the scent, Serge Lutens took a level off from the top, that I personally miss.

The wood and musk here are gorgeous. Am I detecting cinnamon? Am I detecting a little cumin?

Funny how the SL Bois series are so much alike each other but so different from anything else out there. Anyway, I wanted this one for 6 years before finially getting to Paris and, at last, buying it. Its woodiness makes me think of Tam Dao in a way, but this is much thicker, richer, with a more direct dry down. I didn’t know how my friends & family would react to this one, but they love/like it! All-in-all it’s pretty sophisticated stuff. Hope I get to Paris again before I use it all up!

If you liked Feminite du Bois you’ll very probably dig this. The usual Lutens syrupy quality is toned down and paired to a rosy-musky element while a solid cedarwood base directly descendent from the original Shiseido, serves as a terrific interpretation of a woddy fragrance. Not my favorite Lutens but still well worth checking out if you like the house.
Rating: 7/10

I find this a discreet but wearable everyday perfume. There are warm wood notes, most notably sandalwood and cedar, enclosed in an aura of feminine musk.
This scent wears extremely close to the skin. It’s nearly impossible to smell a thing if you’re not sniffing your wrist directly. That makes it a great scent to wear at the office. You’ll smell good to yourself but nobody else, if not standing very close, will notice. Like wearing nice underwear. Most people will not know about them but they are still adding to your general well being and self confidence.
As an extra curiosity fact, this one smells exactly like the base notes of “Bois de Violette”. Just remove the violets, amp up all base notes and add some drops of musk, and you’ve got “Bois et Musc”!
