Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, baffling, yet utterly compelling - La Couche du Diable is Serge Lutens at its Serge Lutens-est. Some call it foul, others fabulous, but everyone remembers this dark, balsamic, boozy ride that's not afraid to get a little dirty. Prepare for an experience, not just a scent.
Don't let the price tag fool you; this is a solid amber choice that punches well above its weight. While some find it synthetic, many agree it nails a 'niche-like' amber profile that's perfect for autumn days and cosy nights. A genuine 'cheapie but goodie' if ever there was one.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its rich, heavy accords and often beastly projection make it unsuitable for everyday wear or the office. This is a scent for special, colder weather occasions where its seductive, almost gothic character can truly shine, like a mysterious date night or a formal event seeking a bold statement.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and generally soft nature make it suitable for office wear, as noted by some reviewers. It's a comforting scent, great for casual settings, and fine for a relaxed date. The amber profile tends to be less suited for formal events or energetic sports.
