La Couche du Diable
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Clean aquatic-woody masculine with dry cedar at the heart and a warm amber finish. Casual summer-day freshness at budget price - less brooding, more post-shower crisp.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Marine aquatic facets and crisp cedar read best in spring and summer heat. The amber base offers a touch of warmth but the composition lacks the density for autumn or winter wear.
Occasions
Light projection and a clean aquatic-woody character suit casual daytime wear, gym bags, and post-sport freshening. Too understated for formal occasions.
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.
