Serge Lutens 1992 EDP
Bois de Violette
Serge Lutens Bois de Violette is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1992, created by Christopher Sheldrake. Bois de Violette opens with Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Violet, and dries down to a base of Cedar. Serge Lutens's Bois de Violette carries a Favourite verdict, a violet floral-led wear.
A truly gorgeous violet scent, loved by many for its unique woody depth, yet some are utterly repulsed. If you adore sophisticated, slightly melancholic florals with a woody twist, this might be your next obsession - just be prepared for the polarizing effect.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cool-weather floral built for spring and autumn. The fresh, dewy violet-leaf opening reads green and crisp in spring, while the dry cedar drydown gives it enough body for the cooler edges of autumn. Too soft and powdery-sweet for high summer, and lighter than a true winter wood.
Best Occasions
Its moderate-to-soft projection and refined woody-violet character make it an easy, unobtrusive office and casual choice, while the sophisticated, slightly melancholic violet suits intimate dates and formal evenings equally well. The gentle sillage and contemplative mood keep it well clear of sport.
