Serge Lutens 2003 EDP

U ££ Acquired

Fumerie Turque

Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Christopher Sheldrake. Fumerie Turque opens with Red Currant, Juniper, and Chamomile, settles into a heart of Rose, Honey, Tobacco, and Styrax, and dries down to a base of Suede, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Serge Lutens's Fumerie Turque carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a masterpiece that divides opinion: some find it an intoxicating, narcotic tobacco dream, whilst others recoil at its animalic honey and ashtray notes. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent, but undeniably unique.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent. The honeyed-tobacco smoke and resinous styrax-leather drydown read thick and cosy on cool skin, making autumn and winter the natural home; the sweetness turns cloying in summer heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Its strong, complex tobacco and animalic honey notes combined with good longevity make it a poor office choice but a compelling pick for intimate dates and cool-weather formal evenings, with enough character to carry casual autumn wear. Far too heavy for daytime summer or sport.

About

Fumerie Turque opens with a rich, honeyed tobacco, evoking the scent of a shisha lounge - sweet, smoky, and slightly boozy. The heart introduces a soft, supple suede, intermingled with a delicate, melancholic rose and the earthy depth of patchouli. As it settles, a warm vanilla and tonka bean embrace the composition, culminating in a mysterious, ambered drydown with hints of red currant and chamomile adding a subtle complexity to the smoky leather.
