Feminite du Bois
Féminité du Bois arrived in 1992 and did something the genre hadn't managed before: it made cedar the protagonist in a feminine fragrance.

Relaxing Fragrance
The opening is quietly green—bamboo and a whisper of cardamom that feels more herbal than spiced, like steam rising from a cup of tea.

Nishiki

Zen
Zen opens with an unexpected clarity—citrus and rose meeting at a cool, transparent crossroads rather than the heavy floral one might expect from the name.

Energizing Fragrance
Energizing Fragrance opens with black pepper and clove — warm and assertive, spicier than the title might suggest.
