Serge Lutens: la recensione di tutte le mie fragranze

[rexaleph]

tried some Zoologist at last.

Moth is soooo oud to me, barely anything else really. sweet smoky medicinal animalic, very intense. reminds me of Nasomatto (and Orto Parisi?), where they all smell the same to me bc the oud just overtakes everything. the other strong association is wood polish (if thats the word. not the lacquer but the spray you use to like clean furniture), which is not a connection i've made with oud before but yeah that's what it smells like to me. overnight it faded to a soft powdery animalic that i liked a lot more, reminded me of Muscs Koublai Khan maybe. very pissy throughout also, which i don't hate. I'll have to wear it out, maybe today, to see what it does over the day from under my clothes, instead of smelling it up close from my arm for a couple hours at night and then the next morning. maybe i'll learn to like it, though so far i don't feel i do

Bat (2020 I believe) is very cool. I had really really hoped that it'd be a tropical fruit perfume that for once doesn't suck shit, and that's exactly what it is. the stupid passionfruit or whatever is made functional, i feel, by the equally high-pitched soil and mineral notes, so it doesn't stick out all screechy and discordant. i smell actual fruit juice, which i never get from these tropical perfumes, they're always just shampoo to me. spearminty incense i believe ties the fruit and earth elements together as well, the whole thing is sweet, high-pitched, airy, fuzzy. as it sits i feel like i'm getting a little something dirty animalic as well, at a distance, like it's gaining some depth. what if i've found a fruit perfume that's not a clumsy mess

still have Hyrax to test, and feel like i need to sit with Moth and Bat some more. though i guess i gotta be wary of believing the hype and trying to make myself like things i really have no reason to

halloween 2022 vibe…

relique d’amour is the ghost… with incense and lilies…

attaquer le soleil marquis de sade is the scary crack house at the end of the street

muscs koublai khan is the werewoof..

full incense is the pope. or nun whatever

moon dance and tuberuese criminelle are lady vampires.. icy narcotic florals..

voleur de roses is dracula.. earthy red wine rose patchouli,..

habanita is mummy

poison and mandragore poupre and feminite du bois are witches! poison is more of an elvira type, mandragore poupre is some nature witch and feminite is a very ancient witch with a potion that makes her young and beautiful forever…

[thiswildernesslife]

She wore Serge Lutens Muscs Koublai Khan perfume and deeply red lipstick, but she didn’t need to… she had me when she said she wanted to read a book about dark matter but could never find one.

Roberto Greco Porter Sa Peau

Roberto Greco Porter sa Peau

Nose: Rodrigo Flores-Roux

notes: aldehydes, hawthorn, angelica, clary sage; narcissus, ylang-ylang, orris, jasmine, rose, bran; musk, hyrax, leather, ambergris, patchouli, oakmoss, tolu balsam, vetiver, akigalawood, white sandalwood

After a flash of liqueur-like aldehydes, Porter Sa Peau settles into a musky, fuzzy, pollen-y yellow floral of narcissus and ylang-ylang.

if Oeilleres (the other Roberto Greco perfume) was like zooming in on a single facet of an older woody chypre like Mystere or Aromatics Elixir, Porter sa Peau is the same trick of zooming in, but on a classic spring floral chypre like Chamade. we don’t get the trill of flowers, just the fuzzy skin musk and the slightly dusky, breathy scent of narcissus.

it’s deliciously comfortable, and feels like an extension of my person. Porter sa Peau is one of those musky, beige “second skin” scents, same category as Kiehl’s Musk and Muscs Koublai Khan, but a little less sweet and more floral than either. An introverted, soft, daydreamy musk.

(if you like narcissus and musks but you want a complex, multi-stage “feature film” of a fragrance rather than Porter sa Peau’s minimalist monochrome “vibe reel”, Papillon Hera and Masque Milano Romanza are also amazing.)

@kingmakercastle

Okay, so I did a meme last week on fragrances and I soo wanted to do one for Lucie.n Castl.e so here we GO. Firstly, Freya & Lucien gave us a bit of a hint here scent wise in The Original.s 3x4 with the dialogue

"ugh this place smells like dried blood and bad cologne."

"that's just my natural musk. i find the ladies love it."

and so also going off *vibes* Lucien is hot bad boy that you know will fuck you up but you cannot help yourself. The man drips sex appeal okay. He wears something well formulated, perhaps not as unique as something say Tristan or Elijah would wear, but its very definitive.

Muscs Koublai Khan by Serge Lutens is 1000% hands down my favorite fragrance profile for Lucien if I had to pick one that is him it is this one. Its a chypre fragrance launched in 1998. The fragrance features civet, castroneum, cistus labdanum, ambergris, Morrocan rose, cumin, ambrette seed (musk mallow), costus root and patchouli. It, to me, based on the notes feels full on Lucien. Its animalic-chypre, musky and heady that has that civet note of sexuality and power. That is what Lucien exudes and I think this is my number ONE pick for him (note i also love the 'french labdanum' as a call back to France) and probably his signature scent. Also J'ADORE the bottle- I just so see this bottle on his dresser.

Gold Man by Amouage is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance launched in 1983. Top notes are Lily-of-the-Valley, Rose Hip and Incense; middle notes are Jasmine, Orris Root and Myrrh; base notes are Civet, Musk, Oakmoss, Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli and Cedar. What I like about this one though is the opening notes of lily, rose and incense because there's this blend of je ne sais quoi with that trio that is so alluring and enticing that suits Lucien so well. The middle notes blend well into the base carrying that 'come hither' mystery into the more animalic base which I love.

Trussardi Uomo by Trussardi is a Leather fragrance launched in 1983. Top notes are Aldehydes, Lavender, Bergamot, Basil, Juniper Berries, Caraway and Marjoram; so THIS one I could see Lucien using as maybe more a date night scent. I love the opening notes of Lavender which is a throwback to his home country, France. The middle notes are Honey, Carnation, Rose, Vetiver, Cedar, Cinnamon and Orris Root which seems almost syrup sweet yet deep almost spicy middle that fades into base notes of Leather, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Musk, Labdanum and Tonka Bean. Its fresh yet alluring beginning hints at fun before the night carries on into dark sweet sinful fun which screams Lucien.

Montecristo by Masque Milano is a Woody Aromatic fragrance launched in 2013. I almost didn't list it because I already have a woody scent, but I really like the make up of this one. The top notes are Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Rum and Cabreuva; which I love the boozy rum note in the opening which is so Lucien. The middle notes are Tobacco, Labdanum, Benzoin and Celery Seeds so you're now melding into the thickness of the tobacco and benzoin with the bite of the celery seeds. The final drydown of this is Hyrax, Styrax, Guaiac Wood, Patchouli and Cedar which is a great woody, slightly animalic that I think softens into a smoother headiness thanks to the patchouli.

Serge Lutens - Muscs Koublai Khan

[isobutylquinoline]

Muscs Koublai Khan Serge Lutens Очень редко настроение его носить. Как и мускусы в целом. Перенасытилась ими. Исключение - нечто воздушное и невесомое. Ханский мускус тяжелый, грязный, анималистичный. Табун лошадей, кошачье пузо и разогретая солнцем сухая степь. Раньше наливала его в спрей и распыляла. Теперь точечно и осторожно наношу пипеткой. https://www.instagram.com/p/CACzW5KB8YK/?igshid=x4trhz2vqulw

Review Top 5 Best Serge Lutens Fragrance

1. Serge Lutens Chergui

Serge Lutens brand has launched a new, spicy and aromatic scent called Chergui in 2005 for both men and women. Chergui was created by the hands of perfumer Christopher Sheldrake.

The opening will be the powdery aroma – the wonderful fruit of the aromatic wood mix with the incense notes and sandalwood as the background. The sweetness of “Lutensian” style honey sugar is gradually softened by the aroma of violets/orris flowers, wood notes and a hint of moss/soil of amphibian grass or the heat of tobacco. Bringing the splendid oriental beauty to elegance and humility, not so complex and rich as the other scents of Luten. Over time, Chergui will bring a very simple and delicate mix, which is the blend of tobacco, the mixture of aromatic-amber-benzoin and finally the sandalwood-Iris.

The design of the vertical rectangle shape bottle, made of transparent glass can see the dark brown perfume inside, combined with the black round lid is extremely simple but also very luxurious and elegant.

Chergui is not a hideous monster coming out of the Grimm fairy tales. Simply its wonderful scent will “whisper” into your skin, then bloom like beautiful and brilliant flowers. Good Sillage and Longevity surely Chergui will not disappoint you in the cold winter days. It’s great to put on the sweet scent of your beloved friends in the early days of this new year.

2. Santal Majuscule

Santal Majuscule by Serge Lutens is an oriental wood fragrance for both men and women. This is a new fragrance launched in 2012. Santal majuscule is the third sandalwood fragrance that Serge Lutens has come up with. Previously, Santal Blanc perfume had a softer aroma and Santal de Mysore had a stronger spicy smell.

To a certain extent, it can be said that Jeux de peau perfume with Santal majuscule is the same two perfumes. The perfume reminiscent of Serge Lutens’s school days, when he made his own fun by adding the capital letters to his essay with scribbles.

Santal Majuscule means “sandalwood with capital letters”. The aroma takes place with the perfect blend of fat rose notes, smoky taste. The unexpected addition of cocoa – Not a dry powder of the corresponding nature but it has a bit of chocolate flavor combined with the sweet milk properties of sandalwood to create a subtle scent and taste. Very attractive food.

Serge Lutens’ iconic perfume bottle design. The design of the vertical rectangle shape bottle, made of transparent glass can see the wooden brown perfume inside, combined with the black round lid is extremely simple but also very luxurious.

A strong, bold fragrance that gives you confidence and is considered a natural, simple fragrance for both men and women. A rich combination of fragrances like all everyday events whether it needs seriousness or simplicity. If you love Santal, this is a great choice for you like I am choosing.

3. L’Eau Serge Lutens

Over the past two decades, Serge Lutens has released perfumes, but his ability to surprise new products has never been lost. And that is most evident through L’eau Serge Lutens perfume. He wanted to create a product that could be called “anti-perfume” with fresh and pure notes instead of a classic style. This is his answer to the perfume industry when perfume began to be mass produced and used too much artificial flavoring.

L’Eau Serge Lutens was launched in 2009 and was created by Serge Lutens and Christopher Sheldrake.

Serge Lutens also added: “The key point is that I decided not to include this scent” so in spicy perfumes, notes of passionate flowers, sweet wood or animal flavors other. It is simply a “fresh scent like a white T-shirt just washed” with “the most expensive soap in the world”. You can feel some citrus scent and Aldehydes as well as some steamy notes and other pungent aromas. But he only focused on the notes of Clary Sage and some magnolia petals. The musk also contributes to a clean feeling like soap.

L’Eau Serge Lutens perfume bottle brings a sleek design with a square base, with a Japanese twist.

While there was a big change in Serge Lutens’s creative style, he retained the sense of humor in the products he created. So, if you are looking for a pure, clean scent, L’Eau Serge Lutens is an ideal choice for you with a simple, fresh and modern scent.

4. Serge Lutens Cedre

The elegant, warm and passionate cedar wood scent has been released as ‘Cedre’ in 2006. ‘Cedre’ was created by the hands of renowned perfumer Christopher Sheldrake.

The beginning is a warm, sweet and charming amber aroma, adding a little subtlety of lilies and a little softness and femininity of spice notes but equally passionate and sexy. As time passed, the fragrance of the lily settled and softened, giving the spice smells to overwhelm and become more intense. The femininity and lightness gradually spread, entwined with the crisp and crisp deep wood notes to finally bring very special masculinity and charm to ‘Cedre’.

The design of the vertical rectangle shape bottle, made of transparent glass can see the wine color inside, combined with the black round lid is extremely simple but also very luxurious and elegant.

Cédre, a subtle, luxurious and unique scent, will give you an interesting sense of warm and deep wood notes. When combined with the feminine floral notes, the bold appearance at the beginning is just a bit of a gentle touch, but will gradually settle in the middle notes and keep Cédre feeling. profound, very wonderful and separate.

The aroma of L’Eau Froide is appreciated by many users as being built very well with a gentle and fragrant aroma. Beginning with a refreshing scent with a refreshing mint flavor and the attractive scent of sap from the olibanum aroma. After that, the scent gradually became sea wind full of sunshine thanks to notes of sea and slightly spicy taste from ginger and attractive pepper. About 30 minutes later, the scent gradually becomes more pleasant and delicate on the skin and gently ends with vetiver to bring out the wood and incense flavor.

The design of a tall, tall standing rectangle shape bottle made of transparent glass sees the colorless perfume inside, combined with the extremely simple but also luxurious and elegant silver round lid. up the modern.

Serge Lutens’ L’Eau Froide is like a barefoot walk on a summer morning at a refreshing, empty and sunny beach. There is a gentle association with peppermint, seawater flavor and incense of incense.

Fragrance for Sleep no more (1):

Macbeth 1: Encre Noir by Lalique

A pensive man, with infernal undercurrent surging inside.

Macbeth 2: Leather Oud by Christian Dior

A wounded beast howling in the dark. Powerful, sordid, sin and lust.

Lady Macbeth 1:  Jardenia by JAR

The floral openning itself is alarmingly strong. Now imagine it gets stronger, even ferocious. In the end, all the flowers died, the rotten bodies buried underneath slowly reveal themselves.

Lady Macbeth 2: L’eau Scandaleus by Anatole Lebreton

Carnal flower and raw leather.

Hecate: Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle

This perfume is MADE for Hecate. Mighty and unpredictable. 

Agnes: En Passant by Frederic Malle

Subtle lilac. Lost innocence.

Boy witch 1: Muscs Koublai Khan by Serge Lutens

This one is wild. 

Boy witch 2:  Musc Ravageur by Frederic Malle

A sensual paradox.

Sexy Witch: Narcotic Venus by Nasomatto

Highly addictive. Dangerously sweet.

Bald Witch: Antaeus by Chanel

Flower and beast. Mostly beast.

Taxidermist: La Botte by Byredo

For our elusive magician: woody with a hint of sweet note, and a hidden animalic side; most importantly – it’s so darn hard to catch.

Ognuno di noi é legato a dei profumi, quelli che ci hanno accompagnato in dei periodi della vita, e a cui sono collegati ricordi ed emozioni. Scopriamo insieme quelli di Andrej Babicky, collezionista

“Mi chiamo Andrej, sono originario della Slovacchia. Sono venuto in Italia per studiare la lingua e Filosofia e diciamo che nel frattempo ho messo le radici. Vivo a Milano e lavoro per un brand inglese di lifestyle e fragranze.  Il mio tempo libero lo dedico alla ceramica, giardinaggio, mi piace dipingere e disegnare, amo girare per mercatini di antiquariato in cerca di qualche curiosità, costruisco castelli sulle nuvole e creo degli oggetti profumati. Al mondo dei profumi mi sono avvicinato durante il periodo dell’Università ed è stato un incontro, direi, fatale”.

Cos’è il profumo per te?  Il profumo per me è come un linguaggio senza parole, un’estensione delle mie emozioni ed un modo di comunicare il mio stato d’animo. Dal punto di vista estetico lo considero una forma di arte effimera e mutevole e forse è questo l’aspetto che mi colpisce di più.

Tra i profumi di tua padre quale ti piaceva prendere in prestito di nascosto quando eri bambino?  I miei hanno divorziato quando ero piccolo per cui non riesco a ricordare se mio padre usasse dei profumi o dei dopobarba. Mia mamma invece non ha usato i profumi perché le causavano mal di testa.

Primo profumo che hai ricevuto come regalo, ti è piaciuto? L’hai usato?  Sì, l’ho usato per diversi anni. Era Blenheim Bouquet di Penhaligon’s.

Che tipo di profumi ami? Non ho particolari preferenze nella tipologia dei profumi. Devono avere qualcosa da dirmi, suscitare un’emozione, stupirmi. Dipende molto dallo stato d’animo, umore oppure dal momento della vita in cui mi trovo.

Il primo profumo che hai comprato e perché lo hai scelto. Musc Koublai Khan di Serge Lutens. Perche l’ho scelto? È stata attrazione/repulsione dal primo sniffo. Musc Koublai Khan e stato per me per molti versi un profumo conturbante. Quando lo senti la prima volta restai letteralmente di stucco, un po’ tramortito. L’urgenza fu quella di correre a lavarlo subito via. Dopo un po’ di tempo (parecchio in realta) l’apertura “fecale” si ammorbidisce fino a un odore che identificavo con quello della pelle calda. Mi ricordo delle note floreali ma più dei fiori secchi che quelli freschi. Vi era qualcosa di animale, il sentore di pelliccia arruffata, di pelle e cuoio, una dolcezza quasi polverosa. Il carattere selvaggio e tumultuoso, intrigante aveva qualcosa di confortante. Non sono mai comunque riuscito a indossarlo subito prima di uscire. Di solito lo spruzzavo la sera prima sui vestiti.

Un profumo che non usi più o che non ami perché legato a un brutto ricordo o ad una persona. In realtà non lego profumi alle persone o ai ricordi sia positivi sia negativi.

Tra i profumi che indossi o hai indossato, quale ti assomiglia di più, come personalità?  Oh, questa è difficile! Diverse fragranze per diversi aspetti. Dovessi sceglierne solo una in questo momento sarebbe Black Heart di Map of the Heart. Map of the Heart il Black Heart e per me l’oscurità distillata in un flacone tra l’altro molto bello. E’ fumoso e caldo, in contrasto con le note di legna bruciata vi e un sentore di freschezza quasi balsamica che va e viene. Mi posso quasi immaginare il fuoco impetuoso da cui trae ispirazione, pericoloso e ipnotico allo stesso tempo, ha un aspetto luminoso ed oscuro. Lo sento “mio”.

Il profumo che hai usato più a lungo. Puoi dirci perché ti è piaciuto così tanto?  Uso Pot-Pourri di Santa Maria Novella dai tempi dell’Università. Lo trovo confortante ed è la mia fragranza di default quando non so cosa indossare.

Hai mai comprato dei profumi di cui ti sei pentito? E perché? Egoist, perché non sono mai riuscito a indossarlo.

Potresti descrivere il profumo che indossi oggi con degli aggettivi? Puoi anche dirci di quale profumo si tratta?  Oggi è il mio giorno off. Lavorando ogni giorno con delle fragranze sfrutto i miei giorni liberi per “resettare” il naso.

Hai mai indossato profumi considerati femminili? Se sì quali? Si, Diorissimo, Fidji, Fracas, Ce Soir ou Jamais.

Dei profumi femminili che hai indossato mi diresti che ti piaceva? Diorissimo significa per me la primavera, Fidji è stato una scoperta in un mercatino di antiquariato, Fracas è ipnotico, Ce Soir ou Jamais una bellissima rosa ricoperta di rugiada.

Tra le pubblicità di profumi, su video o su carta, quale ti ha colpito di più?  Lui di Rochas, la pubblicità sulle riviste mi é rimasta impressa nei ricordi e dovrei avere ancora una pagina di una rivista.

Che tipo di profumo odi sentire su un uomo? E su una donna?  Un profumo stordente su chiunque.

Collezioni fragranze? Se sì quali sono i brand che ricorrono di più?  Negli anni ho acquistato diversi profumi ma non con l’intenzione di collezionarli. Ho diversi Agonist, Serge Lutens, Laboratorio Olfattivo ed alcuni altri.

I profumi legati a vari periodi della tua vita. Li ricordi?  Pot-pourri di Santa Maria Novella all’Universita, Musk Khoblai Khan al primo lavoro, Nuit d’Hadrien al periodo vissuto a Sydney. Dopo sono diventato più promiscuo nel uso nel loro uso.

C’è qualcosa che manca secondo te in profumeria? Cosa vorresti trovare? Forse al momento c’e un po troppa offerta nella profumeria. A volte trovo difficile trovare fragranze che suscitino un’emozione o che mi rimangano impresse nella memoria.

Hai siti di riferimento che consulti per quello che riguarda il mondo dei profumi? Sicuramente Fragrantica è diventata una specie di Bibbia, Now smell this (nstperfume.com), Bergamotto e benzoino, Parfums et Beauté Sur Les Pointes ed alcuni altri. Si trovano diversi blog dove poter curiosare e scavare delle informazioni. Non posso dimenticare i gruppi come Adjiumi, Profumi in prosa, Perfumed passion dove ci si possa confrontare con altri appassionati.

I profumi della mia vita: Andrej Babicky, collezionista di fragranze Ognuno di noi é legato a dei profumi, quelli che ci hanno accompagnato in dei periodi della vita, e a cui sono collegati ricordi ed emozioni.

[rexaleph]

i got a 3ml decant of muscs koublai khan and have been wearing it a bunch recently. in larger quantities it really is much more powdery, but still has that warm-dirty quality that puts me in mind of real physical intimacy, or like sleeping with your face presssed into an animal. but bc it doesn't project much and the only thing you can catch in the air is a soft-fuzzy-sweet amber-musk i find it very wearable and cant imagine anyone being put off by it.

ive been thinking abt how everything i love and have/want in larger volumes is kinda masc, even the vanilla, and id like a soft and romantic staple as well. but looks like muscs koublai khan is discontinued, as happens to every gorgeous animalic i fall on love with lmao

[fruitchouli]

i love stinky perfumes rn i love cumin and indolic florals and bal a versailles my sin muscs koublai khan tabu .. its very glamorous and affluent rich people love eating disgusting food and smelling disgusting . the most elegant taste is an acquired taste..

[odoroussavourssweet]

Zoologist Hyrax

Nose: Sven Pritzkoleit

notes: elemi, saffron, pink pepper, Turkish rose; hyraceum, whiskey, styrax, hyacinth; castoreum, civet, amber, benzoin, sandalwood, tonka bean

Hyraceum is the star here. It smells like rocks baking in the sun, plus, yes, a definite muskiness. It’s on the heavy side, as animalics go; it reminds me of Kouros and Muscs Koublai Khan, only without the florals. The dusty-tan musk is lightly sweetened with golden resins.

it may be a touch rough for my tastes; just musk, without the floral polish that makes other animalic perfumes so satisfying. Hyraceum is just...musk.

and 20 minutes in, as it starts to lighten up, there’s that familiar synthetic woody-amber, which smells like whiskey with a chemical edge. it doesn’t start out egregious, but in time it takes over the whole perfume and turns it into the Bro Scent of every deodorant or body spray.

What a ripoff! Shameful from a once-creative brand.

[some-velvet-morning]

Of all the “bad boy” fragrances, the outlaws, the ones whose whispered descriptions contain the words “unwashed” and “crotch”, often in succession, and sometimes with “of a Mongolian horseman after three days of burning, raping and pillaging” appended, it may be that none has a more salacious reputation than Muscs Koublaï Khän.
