Serge Lutens — Feminité du Bois
Eau de Parfum
“This scent expresses the masculine side of femininity and vice-versa. It’s all about cedar. Wood accounted for 60% of the composition. Amazed, people called it revolutionary. The fragrance took on its own identity, which is the one thing that really matters to me.” — Serge Lutens
This harbinger of the unisex revolution in fragrance needs no introduction. It is truly iconic. A confection of cedar inspired by the warm, honeyed scents emanating from the covered stalls selling leatherwork in Morocco. The sweetness of resin without a sugary headache. As one reviewer wrote, “Not to be overdramatic but Feminité du Bois is the fragrance of my soul and I would die for her. She is moody. She’s whimsical and kinda b**chy but with so much allure and charisma that you just can’t be mad at her.” At dawn, you are eating perfectly ripe fruit in a fragrant garden just beginning to flower. It rained last night and the sun is pulling warm spicy wood notes from the earth.
