    At first a sickly candy violet then fades to a boring soft woody leafy scent. I've hated every lutens I've ever tried, and sadly this is no different.

    A little too much cedar for my taste. Nonetheless, Bois de Violette is a most beautiful violet.

    I absolutely love this fragrance! It is so sophisticated, intelligent and sexy. You have to brace yourself for the initial blast of cedar, but the beautiful sweet violets soon smooth out those...

    Let me start by stating that I am generally not a floral lover. I like the occasional weird iris and a dirty rose but you won't find me reaching for a floral fragrance with any regularity. However,...

    A girly, sophisticated scent. The opening blast is a little overwhelming, but it soon settles down into a well-blended, dry cedar with wafts of soft, sweet and enchanting violet. I find that this...

    Violet is a dainty and vulnerable little flower that becomes a perfume note by way of chemical compounds. The science of perfume is fascinating and seemingly alchemical to this non-science person,...

    A girlier (but still sophisticated) version of the amazing Féminité du Bois and my favourite of the Bois series. The violet is sweet but not sickeningly so and I like how it is not too green...

    I wanted to give this a two, but I think that's because i've figured out I don't like violets. So take this w/ a grain... this feels like a sort of rosy violet-- rosy like his Cedre, which isn't...

    I was lucky enough to get a sample of this in a swap. Close to my skin the cedar is dominant, but when I shake my hair I can smell the violet and the cedar and the way they play upon each other to...

    I will start by saying I am sucker for violettes from sweet to green I love them all. The delicate little flower makes me so happy-they are so sweet in nature. Saying that it is no surprise that I...

    Oh, heaven! It seems like the cedar and violet compete for prominence, and on two different levels. At turns, this is a sweet, high-pitched, candied violet / cedar; then a moist, earthy, slightly...

    Okay, the first time I tried this I was miffed at the strong fragrance of cedar. Very pungent. But everytime I moved my wrist - I would smell this beautiful sweet Violette fragrance. I wondered...

    This is one of better fragrances from Serge Lutens' Eaux Boisees line. As others have noted, the fragrance is a smoky, mysterious, earthy perfume with cedary wood notes. Unlike some of the other...

    I think we are back to Feminite du Bois - which I had been sorely lacking for years. A very woody, edgey fragrance with violet overtones. Truly unique.

    While this shares the cedar accord found in all of the SL Bois line, if I had to choose just one of the excellent Bois series, this the "bell jar" bottle I'd be bringing home. The floral violette...

    Please smack me for giving Bois de Violette a less-than-stellar review before. This is the stuff that smoky violet dreams are made of. The normally sweet, shy violet is rendered kohl-eyed and...

    I loved this as soon as I dabbed it onto my wrist. Unfortunately, that was the best part. Within five minutes the freshness, the greens, and the violets had wilted away to nothing, and I was left...

    This may be my favorite fragrance ever. Yes, a wild boast, but it does everything that a fragrance should for me: it refreshes, transports, and blends beautifully with my chemistry. The violets...

    This is a really great violet scent...if you also like woody scents. On me this is very woody, and since I love woody scents, this is fabulous. On the other hand, if you hate woody scents, then I...

    I'm not sure what happened here. Pleasant but unspectacular violets went dirty on me. Is there civet in here? By the time it dried down, it smelled like body on me, and it was nasty nasty nasty. ...
