I have just the wax tester, and from that I get the cedar and perhaps pine and eucalyptus.

A few notes to add to the two very good reviews before mine: Warm, smooth and harmonious, the spiced vanilla of Bois Oriental evokes images of an opulent Mughal palace in its heyday. Gourmand without being saccharine, it’s comforting, boozy lull and sweet-cedar base is very signature Lutens.

Bois Oriental A cedarlovers dream 🙂
This is beautiful and warm cedar with a touch of euchalyptus ,At least thats how i smell it ( and thats where its gets wrong for me , i cant take that note..)
But this is most sertenly long lasting on skin , all day long a cought wiffs of it, This is typicl Serge Lutens , To me they almost all have a sertan feal to it woodsy and warm.
I would not say that is over spicy at all . I am pretty sensitiv about to much spice in perfumes , This is soft spicy and warm cedar , It has a esimblens to Feminit Bois to me . Beutiful but sadly not my type when it comes to it

I find this to be a lovely skin scent. No sillage monster here I`m afraid.
In the beginning it reminds me of Bois et Fruits, but with added warmth of spices and if I`m not wrong, a tiny hint of coconut. (And no, cumin is not a prominent note, at least not on my skin.)
The big surprise comes after 2-3 hours, when it suddenly morphs into a powder/ vintage make up kind of scent. Although violets are not listed, I can swear that they are there somewhere. (Maybe Mr.Lutens and Sheldrake plays triks on ones mind.)
Anyway, this is my favorite part of Bois Oriental. The drydown remotely reminds me of Frederic Malle`s Lipstick Rose(!) but, when LR comes in a happy, bright, pink colour, Bois oriental are dark,red/ magenta hued.
