Our verdict on Le perce-vent: Favourite

A modern, musk-heavy clean scent from Serge Lutens that splits opinion. Some find it a fresh, invigorating breath of frosty air, a 'your skin but better' vibe, while others are left underwhelmed by its simplicity and perceived lack of Lutens' signature daring.

Its clean, inoffensive profile and moderate sillage make it highly suitable for office and casual wear. While some find its longevity good, the 'intimate' nature means it won't overwhelm, making it versatile across many settings, though less ideal for formal events requiring a bolder statement.

About

Imagine a cool, ethereal breeze after a winter storm, crisp and clean. Le Perce-vent opens with a bracing, almost metallic freshness, driven by an aromatic clary sage that provides an invigorating bite. This quickly settles into a soft, powdery musk, like a blanket of fresh snow, with subtle animalic undertones adding a whisper of depth. The overall impression is transparent, cool, and undeniably modern, evolving into a 'second skin' scent.
