Monsieur Lutens, I believe it is love

After I already own two other fragrances from Serge Lutens, I have now treated myself to the Chergui "blind". The description and the comments just wouldn't let go of me, I just HAVE to have it.
And what an excellent blind purchase !!!
My spouse is from Morocco and I have spent wonderful times there.
One of my favourite memories is a trip to the desert. There we lay on carpets in a Berber tent, drank Moroccan tea and enjoyed life.
When I apply Chergui, that memory comes back. I am back in the tent and enjoy the moment - completely relaxed and resting in myself.
Somehow Mr. Lutens actually captured Morocco - my husband was sniffing all the time and noticed that it smelled like Guelmin (the last place on the edge of the desert).

There are plenty of scents from Mr. Lutens - so far I have three, if you count the one who is on his way here, there are four. But each of these fragrances has a uniqueness, a special feature that I never knew about. I can't name it concretely either, what makes this "special". But one thing I do know: I will sniff through the repertoire of Monsieur Lutens, because Monsieur hits my nerve like no other.

I don't know much of Lutens, but what I do know was killer.

Sitting right now with Chergui on the forearm, read your comment and am very taken. Your description takes with the scent in the nose almost cinematic to the place you describe. Beautiful fragrance!

Nice comment! I feel very similar about Chergui. It's a really great scent that stands out. For me it's love too, even if I couldn't with many others from SL unfortunately. This one is a masterpiece.

One reads your enthusiasm! I like that! I too am quick to associate memories with scents. It's a good way to understand a scent better.
