Chant De Bois Le Labo for women and men

Tried this one out at Anthropologie this past weekend. I have to say this is the most authentic cedar fragrance I have come across. Just like a true cedar chest. Nice, but not sure if I want to wear it as an everyday fragrance.

Chant de Bois ----I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE, I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE. I USED TO BUY IT AT Anthropologie BUT THEY ARE OUT AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET IT. PLEASE, PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN BUY THIS FRAGRANCE AT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

The best feminine cedar ever!

UPDATE: Ok heres an update lol. I contacted Le Labo and told them what happened and Le Labo informed me that this scent has not been discontinued and they sent a message to Anthropologie to restock immediately. They let me know in a very nice email that they were sorry for the inconvenience and they are saddened I thought it was dicontinued and it was true that the Anthopologie stores were strangely out of stock and did not inform Le Labo about this. They also had the employees at Anthro misinformed thinking this was no longer being made. Very kindly, Le Labo had Anthropologie Send me the fragrance half off! Im so happy, got it today in the mail and yes it still is amazing as it was when I first smelled it at Anthropologie :)
Anthropologie needs to Anthropologize!

FEMININE WOODSY THIS IS NOT! Smelled the set of 5 at Anthropologie while looking for a gift for my friend and this one was my favorite of the bunch. But not for her, for me :) because this was very masculine to me. I saw the notes and they were masculine not feminine. I went back and they were sold out. I figured it was the best seller. I looked for it on the site and saw it was no longer available. I freaked and asked the stores if they had any left or were expecting and they said they werent sure. Only to later let me know it has been discontinued. WHYYYYYY? And of course to the best one out of the 5. Why? Cause Anthropologie is a womens store and this was the least feminine fragrance from the 5 making it the less one likely to sell? Sucks because this was the best and most luxury and expensive from the bunch. It even reminded me of Terre d'Hermes. Le Labo, bring it back!

I am really ecstatic about this new Le Labo series. For once, one of my favourite niche houses has come up with something really affordable, while remaining unique, complex and exciting.

Chant de Bois is a very spicy, almost aromatic fragrance with rich woodsy notes and a delicious hint of zesty fruits. It could easily be unisex, so don't let the fact that it's marketed towards women put men off.

The patchouli and pink pepper really gives this fragrance that extra boost; a bit of earthiness and exoticism. I read one article on this fragrance, (Craven Maven), that likened this fragrance to that of Asian cuisine. I'll have to agree, especially seeming that Chant de Bois tends to have a very aromatic quality.

My nose seems to be detecting a lot of patchouli, pepper and lemon, so I'd say you need to enjoy those notes in strong doses before you go anywhere near Chant de Bois. In some ways it's along the same lines as other Le Labo fragrances like, Oud 27 and Patchouli 24.

The sillage and longevity are wonderful, very powerful. Don't let the price tag fool you, this is still niche goodness, very Le Labo in its style and approach.
