Un bois sépia

Un bois sépia is a 1994 unisex release from Serge Lutens, composed by Christopher Sheldrake. Its note pyramid opens with a dense blend of cypress, vetiver, opoponax, patchouli, and sandalwood—no heart or base notes are listed, so the character is defined by this top accord. The result is a dry, woody scent with a sepia-toned, almost inky depth. The listed notes suggest a composition that is earthy, balsamic, and resinous, with patchouli and amber facets emerging over time.

Collectors who appreciate vintage Lutens will find this a worthy addition, especially if they enjoy scents that feel austere and contemplative. It suits those who prefer woody orientals with a vintage sensibility, and it wears well in cool weather or evening settings. Because the pyramid is unusually top-heavy, expect the initial spray to be the main event, with subtle evolution rather than dramatic transformation. This is a fragrance for someone who values quiet complexity over overt sweetness.

Un bois sépia 係 Serge Lutens 1994 年推出嘅中性香水，由 Christopher Sheldrake 調配。香調結構以絲柏、香根草、沒藥、廣藿香同檀香木組成，冇獨立嘅中調或基調，所以整體氣息由呢個前調主導。聞落係乾燥、木質感重，帶有復古嘅墨水同泥土氣息，廣藿香同琥珀嘅暖意會慢慢滲出。

呢支香適合鍾意 vintage Lutens 嘅收藏家，尤其係偏好冷峻、沉思型木質東方調嘅人。最好喺涼爽天氣或者夜晚使用。由於香調金字塔集中喺前調，開頭噴出嚟嘅表現最為突出，之後變化比較含蓄。如果你追求低調而複雜嘅香氣，呢支值得考慮。
