Ok, good — then there isn’t something wrong with my nose. I kept thinking, “Too sweet? Really? Where?! Am I missing something?”
The drydown was really nice, and I think it may have actually turned my opinion in favor of cypress as an acceptable note in a fragrance. And I agree, I felt that the drydown tilted toward masculine. Un Bois Sepia is an excellent fragrance for men.

Actually, Un Bois Sepia is one of the few Lutens that feels a bit too masculine for me… I don’t wear it often because of that. It definitely is not too sweet.

Every single darn last one of them!
I was very impressed with how the Un Bois Sepia turned out. Really warm, dry cypress scent. As I mentioned in the post, I’ve read numerous comments on the net about it being “too sweet” — and I don’t know how anyone can get that, unless they just sample it for, like, an hour before washing it off.

re: the update…
Yay, because I was, predictably, rooting for the Bois Sepia to emerge victorious…
(Hey, how many scents are you going to make me feel the need to try?)
