    Imitation is the finest form of flattery? Serge Lutens and Chris Sheldrake should be positively basking in the glow of Keiko Mecheri's flattery then. SL's Bois de Violette has long been one of my...

    Not nearly enough violet in this fragrance. Mostly, it smells like sweet and slightly spiced woods. Soft and unobtrusive and rather uninteresting. Not a keeper, and Violetta di Parma and Caron's...

    This is amazingly similar to Shiseido's Feminite de Bois Eau Timide. Spicy - a touch of cinnamon and cedar, that starts slightly astringent, with a floral sweetness in the drydown. This is a dry...

    Really woodsy, warm violet scent. No powder, not that dry, sweet violet we're used to. If anything, its wet, and sticky.. and very warm. Unique for a violet scent. I would love to try...

    I smell like I spilled a glass of ginger ale or root beer on myself. Thank goodness for samples.

    This is gorgeous! I didn't like it at first. Once it dried down, I fell in love. Violets with spices and woods (sounds strange but it's a brilliant combination!) It's not sweet or powdery. If...

    You don't hear much about Genie des Bois on the fragrance board. But if you like violets or woodsy scents, you should check this one out. It's a smooth and harmonious blend of violets, leaves...

    Extremely woody, pencil shaving, clove scented, intense violet. Sort of strange and spicy. Interesting to sniff once in a while but most certainly not a good thing for me to wear.

    A supremely woodsy, natural, violet. Very much like Serge Lutens' Bois de Violette, except far less burnt and ashy, and with a pronounced green note running through it. Very beautiful and...

    Genie des Bois is unlike any violet fragrance out there. Spicy, zesty, woodsy, and green. Genie des Bois is, like many other reviewers have pointed out, in the same league as "The Great" Serge...

    Keiko Mecheri Genie des Bois contains notes of violet, nutmeg, violet leaves and Birman benzion balm with a rich sandalwood and cedarwood base. This is the best violet fragrance I have ever tried...

    It took a while for me to appreciate this scent. I was expecting a powdery aspect to this scent since it's based on violets. BUT, that undesired (for me) quality is kept at bay. Instead, what...

    Wooed by the notes in Genie des Bois -- violet and various woods -- I bought it, only to regret it later. A very green, bright violet bursts forth at the start, only to recede in the wake of an...
