Christopher SheldrakePierre Bourdon

"Féminité du Bois is a landmark woody-spicy fragrance originally launched by Shiseido in 1992. Its central idea is a rich, dry cedarwood structure softened by ripe fruit, warm spices, vanilla, and musk. Cinnamon, plum, and peach create a gently sweet opening, while cedar, cardamom, and clove form the expressive heart. Sandalwood and vanilla give the drydown a creamy warmth, with musk adding depth and persistence. The fragrance is notable for presenting cedar as the dominant theme of a feminine scent rather than treating woods as a minor supporting element. It remains influential for its bold balance of dryness, sweetness, spice, and sensual warmth."

Reviews Summary

“A rich, distinctive, and influential woody-spicy fragrance with a pronounced cedar core. Its character combines dry woods with cinnamon, plum, peach, clove, vanilla, and musk, producing a warm yet structured effect. The original version is often regarded as fuller and more intense in character than later presentations, with a memorable balance of fruit, spice, sweetness, and dryness.”
