Serge Lutens Boxeuses is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Christopher Sheldrake. Boxeuses opens with Licorice and Plum, settles into a heart of Woody and Leather, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar. Serge Lutens's Boxeuses carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Boxeuses is a subtly elegant leather creation, though many find its projection too restrained for Serge Lutens. It's a gorgeous plum-leather marriage for those who appreciate understated artistry, but don't expect a powerhouse.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

The supple leather, dark plum, and dry cedar read as a cool-weather scent, with autumn and winter the natural home. Wearers favour it for crisp, rainy days; its restraint keeps it off the high-summer shelf.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its quiet sillage and smooth, inoffensive plum-leather character make it an easy office and casual pick, and refined enough for low-key date wear. The understated projection means it stays close rather than commanding a formal room.

About

Imagine supple, well-worn leather infused with the rich, dark sweetness of ripe plums. A whisper of licorice adds a nuanced, slightly spicy edge, while woody undertones provide grounding depth. It's a sophisticated and discreet fruit-leather composition with a hint of animalic warmth, delivering a smooth, seamless wear. The opening leans tart and fruity, all soft plum and a piquant lick of licorice, before a clean, supple leather steps forward through the heart. As it settles, cedar and a quiet musk pull it close to the skin, finishing as an intimate, faintly smoky leather rather than a room-filling statement. Wearers reach for it in cooler months and value it precisely for its restraint - a refined, androgynous leather that sits beside Feminite du Bois and Daim Blond on the shelf, softer and cleaner than either.
