Serge Lutens Bois et Fruits is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1992, created by Christopher Sheldrake. Bois et Fruits opens with Peach, Apricot, and Plum, settles into a heart of Fig, and dries down to a base of Cedar. Serge Lutens's Bois et Fruits carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a smooth operator, a richer, juicier take on a classic. It's largely adored for its comforting depth, though some find it a bit too subtle or challenging initially. Give it time; it's a grower.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cool-weather scent. The stewed-fruit sweetness of plum and apricot folded over dry, dusty cedar reads as autumn-and-winter territory, with reviewers reaching for it through the colder months and likening it to spiced Christmas fruitcake. It can carry into milder evenings but lacks the brightness for hot summer days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its soft projection and comforting, dry-sweet warmth make it an easy casual daily-driver and a strong autumn-evening date pick. Applied lightly it works for the office, and its sophisticated woody-fruity depth carries a relaxed formal evening. The low intensity rules it out for sport.

About

Imagine stepping into a warm, spiced fruit pastille, infused with plum, succulent apricot, and fig. This fragrance opens with a rich, slightly jammy sweetness, then evolves into a heart of dusty cedar that grounds the luscious fruit. A lactonic, powdery undertone adds a creamy, refined texture, lingering with a cozy, inviting warmth that's beautifully balanced and utterly decadent.
