Serge Lutens Feminité du Bois is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Christopher Sheldrake. Feminité du Bois opens with Cedar, Cinnamon, Peach, and Plum, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Violet, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Serge Lutens's Feminité du Bois carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper cult classic, divisive yet adored. Many find it an elegant, spicy plum wonderland. However, be warned: others get potpourri or even pencil shavings, and whispers of poor longevity are frequent. Try before you buy, but if it works for you, it's magical.

About

Feminité du Bois opens with a rush of spiced plum and peach, immediately evoking a sense of festive warmth. Cedar and cinnamon weave through, creating a woody, almost cola-like effervescence. As it settles, subtle florals like violet and rose emerge, softened by a creamy sandalwood and vanilla drydown, leaving a sophisticated, slightly musky trail.
