Babycat with chocolate instead of vanilla. Pleasant but uninspired compared with previous Lutens releases. No tobacco in sight.

One of the best ambers I’ve ever smelled, dry from the herbs ans spices but also warm and balsamic. Dries down incensey, slightly sweet.

A tuberose so natural and mentholated, untrained noses are saying it smells synthetic. Beautiful, strange, truly niche!

Mitsouko is all about cloves, against a backdrop of peach fuzz. Very medicinal and austere… yet, it makes me drool! Eternal!

Rocabar is a forest in a bottle. Juniper berries, fir and benzoin convey a breath of fresh air. Underrated gem!
