Mitsouko for men. It starts as a fougère and leaves you as a chypre.

Florals covered in moss and leather. A stately chypre, like Mitsouko. But with a sturdy leather base. And not so peachy...

Simply magnificent.

Concrete buildings, steel, steam and icy pears. It’s the image of an urban jungle. Nature, among the man-made.

Feminité du Bois, the first Lutens fragrant creation that is still with with us. And what an absolute pleasure it is. It’s name breaking the preconceptions about woody scents only being for men. And it’s scent breaking the boundaries of what is expected of a woody fragrance, by the introduction of (dried) fruits.

It‘s dry cedar notes and fruity plum combined effortlessly. In an almost abstract way, though not quite.

It also features a lesser talked about animalic note, it enhances the purple fruity notes, without being overbearing.

Originally released under the Shiseido brand under the same name and av today under the Serge Lutens brand.

A scent every fragrance lover should get his or herself familiar with.
