Serge Lutens Des Clous Pour Une Pelure is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Des Clous Pour Une Pelure opens with Orange, settles into a heart of Clove, and dries down to a base of Nutmeg. Serge Lutens's Des Clous Pour Une Pelure carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a real head-scratcher and not for the faint-hearted. It’s a polarizing blend of festive comfort and something unexpectedly medicinal, leaving some enchanted by its quirky charm and others reaching for the nearest air freshener. Definitely try before you buy, unless you fancy smelling like a Christmas pomander at the dentist.

Its unique and often described as 'medicinal' or 'aftershave-like' spicy freshness, combined with moderate projection and a somewhat intimate sillage, make it less suited for formal or office settings. However, its festive and quirky nature makes it a good fit for casual outings, especially during cooler seasons, or even for a date if you want to make a memorable, if potentially odd, impression.

About

Imagine a bowl of sweet, juicy oranges, some still with their bitter rind attached, generously studded with spicy cloves. Then, a dusting of fresh, woody nutmeg settles over the whole scene. It's a warm, spicy, and citrusy aroma, initially bright and almost candy-like, before the invigorating kick of spices introduces a peculiar, almost medicinal freshness that lingers.
