Kretek with orange peel

Many Lutens fragrances from the COLLECTION NOIRE are too much for me. I recognize the quality, but I don't like to smell them on myself, because they are often too loud and roomy for me.

With the rather light fragrances from the series LES EAUX DE POLITESSE I haven't found anything so far. I also didn't like the new one at the first test. The carnation is too annoying. My first association: it smells like a Kretek cigarette.

Attracted by the unusual emerald-green color of the perfume I tasted again last weekend and was surprised. Now the citric orange came through well and together with the pleasantly spicy clove it developed into a great, warm, strangely patchouli-like scent.

Lutens describes Des clous pour une pelure as an invigorating and purifying fragrance.

I think so too. And he looks pretty good next to my Pink After Shave in the bathroom.

Kretek cigarettes are great, too bad that they are now banned in the EU... the comes then but times on the watch list

Hahahaa - that it fits to your Pink Shave in the bathroom tears out everything! Seriously - since I like cloves and orange not sooo much I will leave it aside until now but now I will test it and then at least get Joop Homme to come close to your standard ;-)
Cup forgeries!

Your comment increases my anticipation for the fragrance...finally the sharing became full and if it doesn't come completely weird it will be in the repertoire just because of the colour/bottle!
