Our verdict on La Couche du Diable: Statement

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.

About

An intense, syrupy amber leads the charge, thick with resinous labdanum and a deep, dark woodiness. Hints of boozy dried fruits and a whisper of rosy spice cut through the gloom, evoking mulled wine and ancient incense. It dries down to a musky, sometimes animalic, warmth that clings to the skin, retaining a smoky, almost metallic edge throughout.
