    A stunning fragrance, and a must-have for any violet or cedar afficianado. It's similar to Keiko Mecheri Genie des Bois in that it combines the two notes. Genie des Bois, however, is a smoother,...

    Bois de Violette is a sophisticated fragrance featuring violets nestled in cedar. The most pleasantly unique aspect of this composition is that it is dry, a quality that can be traced to the softly...

    I adore this scent. This may be my absolute favorite of all of them. A beautiful effervescent cedar (for some reason all the Bois scents are slightly effervescent to me) with hints of a dark...

    I tried three times to wear this one--it starts out so wonderfully--dry, smoky (wow!) violets over subtle woods--then the violets morph into The Violet That Ate My Brain. I usually love violet...

    This is so beautiful. So. Beautiful. It's violet at its best - soft, subtle and utterly wearable, tempered with leaves and wood. And I am *not* a fan of violets. Incredible and incredibly...

    Absolutely gorgeous and like nothing I have ever tried before. Although I have limited experience with fragrance, having just become enchanted with the whole perfume world, even I know this is...

    Starts off very woody, with a hint of green, and then develops into a strange iris-violet type note in the background which reminds me of Iris Silver Mist almost...within two minutes, a burnt-ashy...

    Just a brief echo of Liv24’s eloquent review: if you are sensitive to cedar notes in any way, shape or form, it will be difficult to enjoy Bois de Violette. However, after reading victoriaf’s...

    I may have found another SL I love! This is a dry woody violet perfume. I love the cedar and sandalwood and the fact that the violet is not the candied but woody flavoured. This lasted a long...

    This is a gorgeous violet scent. The woods give it a dryness and austerity that elevate the violet to a whole new plane, far above the typical sugared-violet you get in most violet-scented...

    A pretty, powdery, spicy violet scent. It reminds me of something a very conservative english countrywoman would love. This is appealing in a blue-blooded way, if you're into that whole "landed...

    This is probably THE favourite Serge Lutens for me, I love the fresh violets (not sweet or very powdery at all) on the base of dry cedarwood... I love it! UPDATE: I wore a little of my wax sample...

    have to agree with mayra and diane. an unremarkable woody floral, fairly delicate and not very longlasting.

    Like dried violets used as kindling. I'll stick with Violetta Di Parma. This is powdery and old fashioned (not in a good way) and quite heady. Even smoky. Not delicate in a ballet principal...

    A vivacious, sparkling, ethereal violet?? Not really IMO. A very green, cedary, violet fragrance. It contains, violet flowers & leaves & cedar. I really was unable to detect the violet flower at...
