Which Should You Buy?
A sparkling, sunlit citrus with a bittersweet Italian twist and breezy tea-wood finish. Effortlessly chic, refreshingly modern, and perfect for anyone craving the endless optimism of summer.
This Serge Lutens creation is a divisive one. You'll either get a sublime, sophisticated spiced tea experience that's both comforting and unique, or you'll be smelling varnish, play-doh, or even straight-up cat pee. Definitely sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Bright citrus, tea, and light woods make this ideal for spring and especially summer, echoing Mediterranean sunlight. It is less suited to cold winter days where its breezy freshness may underwhelm.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and uplifting citrus freshness suit office, casual, and date settings but lack the gravitas for formal occasions or the ultra-clean vibe for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and lack of strong projection make it subtle enough for office wear, though some find it too 'grown-up'. The warm, spicy accords with a touch of sweetness lend themselves well to casual and date settings, while its unique sophistication allows for formal wear. It's far too mellow for sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Fresh Spicy, Green accords and Tea, Pepper notes
