    Freshly cut cedar. Almost sparkling. With a waxy dry down that thankfully is not one of SLs uber honeyed caramelized endings. Refreshing, crisp, yet not such a high note as to be headache inducing....

    A gorgeous, almost purely woody fragrance. I smell some of the rum and beeswax, but mostly this is wood, wood and more wood. But it's too gorgeous to be boring; instead, it is majestic as the oak...

    This is going to sound absurd but Chene smells like ceder wood and Smarties candies to me.

    Awful. There are two things it reminds me of: a toy from the early 80s called a Wacky Wallwalker that was a little rubbery octopus that you threw at the wall and it would stick and crawl/tumble...

    Not really a fine fragrance at all, more of a smell that reminds me of a cross between fenugreek, pencil shavings and old school pharmacies/hospitals. With so many wonderful woodsy fragrances both...

    As everyone already said, this is a wood fragrance; not resinous, but like white wood freshly cut. And after an hour or more, a bit of honeyed sweetness comes out as well. But you know what? Honey...

    Notes: cedar crystals, wood sap, black thyme, immortelle, beeswax, silver birch, rum absolute and tonka bean. This fragrance opens with a woody note which at first is clear and sparkly, like...

    Weak, mild, cedar scent. I had high hopes for this because I love cedar so much. I was hoping to be overwhelmed with the scent of all things wooden. Cedar chests, and oak casks, the smell of a...

    Unrelentingly dry, smokey, woody and masculine. I can't stop sniffing my wrist. Smells a bit like wine as well - wine that has aged in oak casks. It takes a while to soften - stays sharp and dry...

    The moment I sniffed Chene, it immediately reminded me of a familiar smell and it was not a necessarily pleasant one. And then it hit me - Chene SMELLED EXACTLY like a "lavatory" on a Continental...

    The maple-syrupiness of immortelle doesn't seem well-suited to a fragrance inspired by oak, but that note quickly fades, leaving the acrid scent of tannin. At least the fragrance doesn't have the...

    Chene is described as an Oak fragrance. Oddly I don't get oak from it so much as I get a blend of wood and fruits. There is no fruit in the notes but there is rum absolute. Perhaps the rum is what...

    This is my favorite from the wax samples. It's gorgeous! I have some liquid samples coming from the Perfumed Court just to be sure before I shell out the money. I have someone to buy for me in...

    Chene by Serge Lutens is a very interesting fragrance. The descriptions below are quite accurate-- the smell of high quality oak wood at a lumber yard (minus the sawdust!). Or better yet, think of...

    This is my current favorite of all the Serge Lutens I've tried. I smell butter rum lifesavers at first, morphing into the woody smell of a lumber yard's fresh cut wood, when you stand right next...

    Totally wood, with no rum. There is a sneaking suggestion of spice somewhere in there, but mostly I get Birch, Cedar and Oak. It's a very warm, perfect-for-autumn wood scent and I don't consider it...

    Ah, beautful Chene! You remind me of my younger days, running through my neighbors' backyards. The odor of savory camphor and bay trees, herb gardens, moss covered oak trees, and beautiful...

    Exquisite....Dusty, oak floorboards, saturated in Autumn sunshine. Spicy, quite spiritual and very much about memory and times gone by. I constantly smell my wrist when I wear this - it's...

    On me, pine needles for the first few seconds, then a very generic, dry, woody men's cologne sort of scent. I get no rum accord or anything else interesting. Disappointing.
