    If I were to award stars based on personal preference, this would get none. However, it is a lutens and presumably well crafted and beautifully packaged. Bois Sepia reads as pungent, obnoxious,...

    I love this scent. In my nose, it is warm, a bit spicy but definitely not cologne-like. But this is something I have with the SL-perfumes anyway: I am always drawn to the ones that are seen as the...

    When I was very young my dad often took me to town with him. How I loved those trips! Among many delightful places we'd go there was this one place we hit on a semi-frequent basis. I can't...

    I guess I'm one of the unfortunate folk because this doesn't give me anything more than Vicks vaporub. I'm quite fond of that smell but not at this price range. It softens to woods but I am getting...

    I have been intrigued by Un Bois Sepia for years, but it always managed to lurk in the background because it's so often described as underwhelming, generic, overly masculine, etc. Well, it's on my...

    I love this scent and love wearing it with very feminine clothes for the contrast. It definitely starts off mens' cologne strong, but quickly softens down to a warm, subtle, woody scent that I get...

    My first impression was "Men's Cologne". I don't know what the note is, but I associated it with some kind of aoud-like smell. It also has an uncomfortable type of eucalyptic note (like in...

    I have to agree with a lot of the other reviewers - this really does smell like a Male scent. Do you know what the smell is?? It smells like the older men who slick their hair back with VO5. ...

    VETIVER! Vetiver, vetiver, vetiver!!! Get it? Good. Mill around the men's fragrance counter at any mall department store, and this is what Un Bois Sepia smells like. To be fair, the drydown is...

    Fresh green opening, which then degenerates into a mess of assorted woods and roots. I imagine the piles of debris we have left over from January's ice storm would smell like this.

    To preface, I bought this in Paris. I went to the SL boutique, knowing I could buy 1-2 bell jars. I put a bunch of them on my arm, went out to the park next door, forgot myself watching the...

    I have nothing to add to what's been said by previous reviewers. Un Bois Sepia is exactly as bad as it's been described. This smells like Cheap men's cologne (there is NOTHING unisex about this...

    This smells like a common, perfumey men's cologne to my nose. Like many have already said, I would have never guessed that this was a Serge Lutens creation. Disappointing! Notes: cypress, oakmoss,...

    I think this is a fairly horrible scent. It is like green woody licorice. A masculine Lolita Lempicka perhaps with a dousing of cheap cologne. This fragrance if worn in excess would induce me to...

    Granted, i have tried several SL fragrances this week and none have worked on me. But I swear this smells exactly like cheap, generic men's cologne. The SO agreed. I don't mind a masculine scent....

    Wow, I am quite taken with this scent. It is masculine & slightly sweet but not in an overt way like Chene. The drydown leans a bit more toward the feminine side. It is warm, woodsy, and sweet. ...

    Un Bois Sepia is one of my most alternative scents. Its initial "masculine" sharpness fades quickly into a beautiful, elegant and soothing scent.

    I got a hefty decant of this one and did a test drive with it. I read all the other reviews and certainly agree that this is one masculine scent. As a floral kind of person, this will not do. ...
