Homage to cedar wood
Dear all. Today I would like to introduce you again another Serge Lutens,which I could test.namely it is about the fragrance " Féminité du bois" by Serge Lutens from 2009.
He is probably considered the successor to the Shiseido fragrance, which was also called feminité du bois and comes from the year 1992, by the same perfumers mind you, serge lutens and Christopher sheldrake.
Now let's talk about the SL edition from 2009, this oriental woody fragrance has conjured images in me so it is additionally worthy of comment . For me, this kind of perfume, which trigger images, emotions, etc, is an expression of high perfume art.
And that is also what Serge Lutems fragrances are so peculiar:
The real art lies in a Serge Lutens perfume not in the mere mixing of individual ingredients, but in the olfactory capture of an experience or feeling.
Whether the fragrance ultimately pleases or not,is a matter of personal taste. Great I find it, however, when I understand the idea behind a fragrance apart from my personal taste when smelling, when the idea becomes tangible and it suddenly makes sense why it smells, how it smells....you know what I mean....exactly that is what makes a good perfume for me and something that makes the thing highly interesting for me personally.
So also here....
In this one, the fragrance notes are:
Beeswax, clove, honey, cardamom, musk, orange blossom, peach, plum, rose, vanilla, violet, ylang-ylang, cedar, cinnamon
iNGREDIENTS.
I was a little irritated at first sniffing, because I did not really know which direction the fragrance would take, although I already knew that wood awaits me....
The dominant fragrance note is cedar wood, which is found throughout the fragrance in such incredibly beautiful company that you want to hide from Serge Lutens. The so-called homage to the cedar wood in my eyes, is embraced by clove, beeswax + honey.
According to research, the fragrance is based on a 60% woody note. The is clearly to sniff.
The wood note is dominant over the whole time, but already set after 10 minutes pleasantly warm honey notes and beeswax notes, which reminds me again of my Morocco vacation or A day trip to Berlin's Oriental Garden in the Gardens of the World.
The carpenter's workshops in Morocco exude exactly this typical smell when processing cedar wood, which exudes the perfume of Serge Lutens, so that I see myself inevitably in a room surrounded by cedar wood stand. With these images before my eyes, the fragrance becomes almost haptic...
Anyone who has been in cedar paneled rooms,knows this particular scent and how the perfume smells. The honey and beeswax notes embrace and do not interfere.Vanilla notes accompany and add a slight sweetness.
As it progresses, other fragrance notes are added again and again alternately,so that it smells sometimes of plum, vanilla or cinnamon; otherwise, the scent remains largely unchanged, which I find quite pleasant,that no big surprises await me.
The scent is rather close to the body,holds on me but over several hours consistently.
Who woody-oriental fragrances or at all the scent of cedar like, comes here fully at his expense and should sniff times at the Wässerchen.
In my eyes, the fragrance is absolutely unisex wearable.
Even if I find the fragrance insanely interesting, I do not know yet whether he really belongs to me.ambre sultan, on the other hand, was allowed to move in quickly with me.
Either way, this Serge Lutens is also a real work of art, that much is said.
Thanks for reading.
