Christopher SheldrakePierre Bourdon

"Féminité du Bois is a landmark woody amber floral fragrance launched by Shiseido in 1992. It places dry cedarwood at the center of a composition softened by plum, honey, rose, cinnamon, and vanilla. The scent balances feminine floral nuances with an unusually prominent, structured woodiness. Warm spices and fruit give the opening richness, while sandalwood, benzoin, musk, and vanilla create a smooth, enveloping drydown. Christopher Sheldrake and Pierre Bourdon shaped the fragrance into a pioneering interpretation of cedar for women's perfumery. Its influence is closely associated with the later continuation of the Féminité du Bois concept in Serge Lutens' fragrance line."

Fun Facts

The fragrance is widely regarded as one of the early modern women's perfumes to place cedarwood at the forefront of its structure.

The Féminité du Bois concept later continued in Serge Lutens' line in 2009 as a more broadly gendered interpretation.
