  Chene by SL: I don’t know how to explain this scent that overflows with genius. Its notes are INTENSE, and every time you smell them, they gain more body, as if the pulse of your skin makes a cocktail of woods explode. Extremely masculine, rough and thick at times. Caraway provides structure with spices that seem like conifers. The middle notes are shy compared to that effeminate leadership, but when united, they give way to a velvety sweetness. It’s a complex journey, extreme and masculine sensations. I consider it an EDP exclusive for men due to its character, but if a woman ventures into this utopia, she would break paradigms. 100% niche. Recommended for very cold nights, rainy days with a glass of cognac by a wood stove. Ranking 9/10.

  Chene by SL: I don’t know how to explain this scent that overflows with genius. Its notes are intense; every time I smell it, they gain more body, and you can’t stop wondering how they intensify. It’s a cocktail of woods that react with your skin and explode with your pulse. Extremely masculine, sometimes rough and thick. Caraway does structural work, injecting spices that seem to derive from conifers. The middle notes are shy compared to that effeminate leadership, but when combined, they give way to a velvety sweetness. It’s a complex journey, overflowing with extreme and masculine sensations. I consider it an EDP exclusive for men due to its character, but if a woman ventured into this utopia, she would break paradigms. 100% niche. Recommended for very cold nights, rainy days with a glass of cognac by a wood stove. Ranking 9/10.

  A fragrance revolving around oak and cedar, with birch adding a smoky facet and that classic honeyed scent of Christopher Sheldrake. From the start, the woods are noticeable, where the rum liquor is most apparent, as if the woods were soaked in alcohol. Gradually, the liquor disappears and the birch and the sweet base of Lutens gain presence. In the mid-phase, on my skin, it becomes quite smoky, almost as if the woods were about to burn. The sweetness of the base is noticeable but at a lower level. It also smells like pine among the notes. From mid-phase to the end, it stays the same, just closer to the skin. Clearly masculine and better in cold climates. Longevity is good, but the projection is short; after 2 or 3 hours, it already lacks strength. Undoubted quality. If you like woody or smoky perfumes, try it without doubt. I love the initial phase and like it less the transition to the end. I’d like the liquor and honey to last longer, but overall, it passes, though not its current price so much.

  I expected more power for indoors, or if you don’t want to smell too much during the day. At first, I detect quite a bit of thyme with a little cumin, but not much; I like the thyme note and see quality there. Shortly after, I notice the savory note, which can be tricky depending on the perfume and the day; the other day it bothered me a bit, reminding me of urine and even more strongly of curry. This note persists almost the entire life of the fragrance, never dominant, more like temporary bursts. The heart accord is formed by the rum, the woods, and the hard, smoky tone of the birch. The alcohol notes always make it hard for me to see them realistically due to a lack of brilliance and freshness, but I like this one; it doesn’t feel artificial. By current standards, I’d say it’s more masculine, though everyone should use what they want. I find it a bit lacking in presence and the birch note isn’t one of my favorites, so this mythologized perfume disappointed me a little.

  Neither do I like it nor do I dislike it. The opening is strong on wood (oak, cedar, and some birch), dry, and slightly boozy from the rum. The wood scent lasts throughout the fragrance, with bursts of sweet beeswax and tonka bean; I don’t detect the floral notes. It’s quite linear: if you like woods, you have to try it. It’s like being in a forest. I see it for cold weather, for night, and more masculine than feminine. The performance is very good and the quality is great. It’s for autumn and winter and for night. Longevity is very durable and the trail is moderate.

  I’ve tried a good handful of niche fragrances in sample format, and frankly, few have seemed as distinctive as Chene. It lives up to the niche perfume label with its distinction and noble quality. It has the woodiest scent I’ve found, whether niche or designer, and it’s quite peculiar; it literally smells like a cellar, like barrels. As well noted, it’s a linear fragrance, lacking the voluptuousness of other creations from this house like Chergui. On the contrary, it’s rustic and dry, so I’d risk saying it’s exclusively masculine despite its unisex label. Its handicap is modest projection and sillage, but the longevity is notable. An aroma ideal for autumn and winter, specifically for night. As a curiosity, it resembles that discontinued olfactory jewel from Gucci, Gucci pour Homme from 2003, quite a bit, thanks to that marked cedar and liquor aroma.

  Love it. It’s a unique olfactory experience, though I’d rate it as ‘like’ because the price doesn’t match the performance. At first, it smells totally different, with no associations to other fragrances. It’s like stepping into a dense forest—very woody, with green, aromatic touches and a slight boozy note. The development isn’t standout; from start to finish it tells the same story, but tells it in a brutal way. Compositionally, it’s a jewel for personal enjoyment, ideal for cold weather, masculine, and very dapper. It doesn’t denote luxury, but rather the profile of an important figure from a bygone era in a green, intensely scented forest. The only downside is the current price and poor performance; it lasts just enough and projects little.

  I’d say I love it; it’s a whole olfactory experience and different, but I’ll leave it at ‘like’ because the price doesn’t match the performance. At first, it’s a totally unique aroma, I don’t associate it with anything. It’s like stepping into a dense forest, very woody, with a green point, aromatic, and a tiny boozy touch. There’s no standout development; from start to finish it tells the same thing, but in what a way. Compositionally, it’s brutal, an experience for personal enjoyment. For cold weather, masculine, and very dapper. It doesn’t denote luxury; it’s another profile: stepping into a forest as an important person from a past era. A green forest of intense scent. The pity is the price they ask today and the poor performance. It lasts just enough and projects less.
