About Feminite du Bois
Serge Lutens is best known for Chergui from 2001, a tobacco, rose, and hay oriental inspired by the hot desert wind of Morocco, which became one of the most discussed niche fragrances of the decade and a reference point for tobacco orientals. Feminite du Bois remains the most sought-after fragrance in the catalog, built on tobacco, rose, iris, honey, amber, labdanum. The concentration and quality of raw materials used sets it apart from what you find at a similar price point from mass-market houses.
Bois de Violette takes the line in a different direction. Where Feminite du Bois is the anchor, Bois de Violette shows the range's willingness to explore contrasting scent families. Chergui rounds out the catalog with a third option covering men and women who want yet another direction in the same quality tier.
