    Notes: notes of violet, peach, plum, rose, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, musk, Atlas cedar, and vanilla. In true oriental sprit this fragrance displays its notes lazily and I gradually see a soft...

    My weird body chemistry may turn the most pleasant fragrance into something strange, but it generally agrees with Serge Lutens fragrances. Unfortunately Bois Oriental is one of the exceptions -...

    I adore FdB and find this one the most different from others in the Bois series. I love the spices and vanilla in this one, and appreciate how it is not too gourmand. It seems to have the best...

    I am not a perfumista--I don't have a talented nose like many of the ladies here. Despite reading the reviews of this scent, I thought I might like it as a new fall scent since I love Un Bois...

    Sadly, I must join the crowd in saying this just smells like a generic vanillic oriental. Entirely pleasant, entirely unremarkable.

    Well, my love for Feminite du Bois is legendary and since Bois Oriental is nearly just like it, I love this too! Bois Oriental is yet another variation on the FdB theme, holding lovely cedar...

    I swapped for a decant of Bois Oriental & I'm glad I did. A decant gives me enough to try a few times, mull over, share a sample with a friend. But I won't be wearing this on a big scale or buying...

    I recieved a sample of Bois Orientale last year and it has really stayed with me. I would take the sample out to sniff, then I had to get a decant. Now with the help of a fantastic woman in Europe...

    This is an okay woody oriental fragrance, but it doesn't rock my world. FdB is ten times better. Bois et Fruits is eight times better. I had such high hopes for this hard to find fragrance--...

    Joy. I love Serges, and my cursed chemistry actually wears them well. But this is a special standout even among the Serges. Very similar to Santal Blanc, but without the cumin and the sticky...

    I received a lovely sample from a MUAer and I must say, I really am enjoying this. For me, what sets this apart is the very "hot" quality of the spice... like cedar and spicy incense. I do see the...

    When I tried Bois Oriental for the first time the words "edible cedar" immediately flashed in my mind. Frankly, words I never expected to see together, but there you have it....never say never. ...

    I'm quite liking this one. At least it doesn't choke me with its dryness right away like Bois et Fruits did (the cedar note in Bois Orientale is not nearly as harsh), and the warm, soft, spicy...

    Like others have noted, this is a rich oriental that smells like so many others out there. It really bored me, but at least it didn't insult my nose like other SL fragrances. One reviewer mentioned...

    I guess it all comes down to chemistry b/c most of the descriptions below smell like that when I take a whiff out of the bottle. However, on me it smells like a fresh, not too rich oriental. I...

    The strangest combination of cumin (among assorted spices) and chocolates with flowers and fruits parading in the background, but actually pleasant. Who knew?! That being said, its way too heavy to...

    This is superb. The cedar is rich and soft, much like Bois Et Fruits. On me, a definite animalic musk comes through, similar to one of the musk notes in Musks Koublai Khan. It works much better for...

    So far, except for the venomous Vetiver Orientale, this is my least favorite of Lutens' fragrances. It's sweet, and sort of syrupy, and......oh well, I shan't belabor the point further. I've...

    Bois Oriental behaves likes Vetiver Oriental in reverse: a gorgeous melange of cedar and soft chocolate, no vetiver, tons of fruit. More fruit, in fact, than Bois et Fruits, at least to my nose. It...
