Serge Lutens is known for creating bold, unconventional fragrances that prioritize artistic vision over commercial appeal. Founded by the legendary perfumer and creative director Serge Lutens, the house has built a reputation for fragrances that challenge expectations and reward close attention.

Feminite Du Bois opens with bright, spiced notes of cinnamon and stone fruit, Virginia cedar adding woody structure beneath the peach and plum. The heart develops into a creamy, sensual floral blend anchored by African orange flower, rose, and ylang-ylang, with clove and ginger providing warmth and complexity. The base settles into a soft, creamy embrace of sandalwood, benzoin, and vanilla musk, creating a fragrance that balances delicate florals with woody sweetness and subtle spice throughout.

This is a sophisticated choice for someone drawn to warm, sensual florals with substance and depth. It works best in cooler months or evening wear, where its creamy, spiced character can fully develop. Feminite Du Bois appeals to those seeking something refined but with an edge, never saccharine despite its sweetness. The Romantic, The Reverie, and The Hedonist.

Top · 0–30 min
Cinnamon
Cinnamon
Sweet, warm, and instantly comforting, cinnamon bark has a familiar warmth that slides easily into oriental and gourmand fragrances. Used sparingly it adds a pleasant warmth; used heavily it can dominate. It has a slightly sharp, peppery facet alongside its sweetness that keeps it from being purely foodie.
Peach
Peach
Ripe, juicy, and velvety, peach has a warm, slightly creamy sweetness that feels lush rather than childish in the right context. It adds a fruity sensuality to floral and oriental fragrances, and its slightly fuzzy quality can even play into tactile, skin-like accords. A note that feels like high summer.
Plum
Plum
Dark, slightly tart, and warm, plum has a wine-like depth that makes it more serious than cherry or peach. It adds a fruity darkness to oriental fragrances, with a slightly fermented quality that bridges fruit and leather families. Used to add drama and depth to floral-oriental compositions.
Virginia Cedar
Virginia Cedar
Warm, slightly sweet, and clean, Virginia cedarwood is the most commonly used cedar in mainstream perfumery. It has a familiar, pencil-cedar smell with a soft warmth that makes it universally approachable. Less assertive than Atlas cedar, it acts as a quiet, reliable base note in hundreds of commercial fragrances.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
African Orange Flower
African Orange Flower
Orange blossom from African-grown bitter orange trees with a slightly more animalic, honeyed depth than the Tunisian or Moroccan varieties. It has a rich, full-bodied sweetness with a waxy, indolic quality that makes it intensely floral. Used in high-end oriental fragrances when maximum floral richness is required.
Clove
Clove
Intensely aromatic and medicinal with a sharp, almost numbing warmth, clove is one of perfumery's most assertive spice notes. It appears in classic oriental and masculine fragrances where its forcefulness is a feature, not a bug. Even in small amounts it announces itself clearly, adding drama and depth.
Ginger
Ginger
Warm, zesty, and slightly medicinal with a bite that sits between spice and citrus. Ginger root adds a lively, invigorating quality to fragrances, it energises rather than soothes. Depending on how it's used, it can read as fresh and zingy or warm and earthy, making it unusually versatile across fragrance families.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Violet
Violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.
Ylang-Ylang
Ylang-Ylang
Base · 3–12 hrs
Benzoin
Benzoin
Sweet, warm, and balsamic, benzoin resin smells like vanilla mixed with incense, with a powdery, slightly medicinal edge. It adds a comforting warmth and fixative quality to oriental fragrances, and blends beautifully with spices. Often used to smooth and round off sharp edges in complex base notes.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
