Which Should You Buy?
This Serge Lutens creation is a divisive one. You'll either find it a seductive, dark, and elegant lavender masterpiece or a surprisingly unoriginal 'dad's aftershave' that's overtly masculine. It's certainly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little middle ground.
If your budget means you're used to cheap thrills, this one's a winner. Otherwise, it smells exactly like what you paid for - cheap. Though, surprisingly, inoffensive and a crowd-pleaser.

Its moderate to strong projection and dark, sensual accords make it less suitable for office wear. However, its sophisticated and seductive nature, often described as 'dark and sexy,' clearly lends itself to romantic dates and formal evening events. For casual wear, it depends on whether you prefer to make a statement.
