Serge Lutens launched Feminite Du Bois in 2009. It is almost an exact duplicate of the Shiseido fragrance bearing the same name that was popular in the 90s. I do not find it to be too feminine (I am a...
Most reviewers say that this smells like roots and dirt in the opening. I don’t get that, probably because I’m not a gardener. What I get is a well-blended but spare mix of iris, incense, and sandalwo...
