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.
Silky Sandalwood has carved out a niche as a surprisingly versatile crowd-pleaser, balancing smooth creaminess with a kick of spice. It's a proper grown-up sandalwood, oozing class and garnering compliments like no one's business, proving that luxurious simplicity always hits the mark.

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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With strong, long-lasting performance but a refined, woody character, Silky Sandalwood is adaptable. It excels in formal settings and on dates where its elegant projection can shine, while its understated nature permits office wear without being intrusive. However, its sophisticated profile makes it unsuitable for active sports.
