    Genie de Bois turned out to be as suffocating sugary as Loukhoum. It opens very strong and synthetic. Then it mellow down to smell of woodsy bubble gum.

    I've been wearing this for a year. It lasts a long time, invariably is commented upon. Just lovely. I'm running low. I never buy a perfume twice. Will either go ahead and buy this one again or...

    Cola and cinnamon. Powdery violet comes in with definite cinnamon notes, then wood crawls along too. Cola stays for a long long time. As it warms up, I get woody spices, in a perfect wintertime...

    What a gorgoeus long lasting scent and I love violets. Better than Serge Lutens Bois de Violette.

    I love the smell of violet, especially when it's mixed with soft woods and given such an irresistible name as "Genie des Bois". This is, indeed, and enchanting fragrance from start to drydown. The...

    Bright, sweet violet--not powdery or cloying. I do smell woods and spices in there, which make it interestingt, but it's not Jolie Madame. I guess JM has become my standard for violet fragrances.

    I get a pleasant woody scent from this with a touch of floral, presumably violet. It's nice, but nothing dramatic, and I definitely don't think it's worth the high price tag.

    yummy rich boozy dark wood with natural type(not too candied or nose-burning) violet smell accenting it. This scent does have a "Dame" feel to it. I like it! I tried SL BdViolet already, it...

    This fragrance is wonderful. It makes me think of a glade full leafy ferns and violets (though the ferns smell rather like cedar, lol). It is QUITE green through the top, spicy in a masculine...

    Genie des Bois is pure enchantment! It's opening of fresh sweet violet, sails through the violet sky on a magic carpet of spices and woods. I love the cinnamon middle notes that just tickle your...

    I just realized tonight that I haven't reviewed this yet and I've had it for probably two years. I love this so much. I've never smelled SL Bois de Violette, so I have nothing to compare this to....

    This is one of the few KMs that I can't appreciate at all, in the slightest. I have to give it a one lippie rate though because there is no "zero" or "minus one" rating possible. <p> On my...

    I'm more of a vanilla lover than a floral girl, but since my husband detests vanilla, I tried this on a whim. Goes on with a sassy pinch of green and then has a beautiful soft drydown with hints...

    I like this...it's a nice woodsy(cedar) violet. However, it falls miles behind the woody violet creation from Ormonde Jayne (Tolu), which has captured my heart and run with it. There is no need for...

    I was looking for a tiny violet nestled in woods, but this is a giant violet balanced on top of a twig. Way too sweet.

    All I got from this was heavy cedar and other woody scents. Very little violet. After dry down, the violet started to come out more, but this was still a bit too heavy for me. As a violet fan, I...

    I wouldn't have imagined myself a violet fan. I like over-the-top very "french" classic florals for certain occasions, but I generally prefer my florals darker. I ordered a sample of this and two...
