Serge Lutens 2007 EDP
Rousse
Serge Lutens Rousse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Christopher Sheldrake. Rousse opens with Mandarin and Clove, settles into a heart of Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Resin, Amber, Cedar, and Iris. Serge Lutens's Rousse carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.
This one's a true classic, an approachable Serge Lutens that showcases cinnamon in its purest, warmest form. It's a crowd-pleaser that evokes strong feelings of cosy nostalgia, though some find its linearity a bit much. A real shame it's so hard to find now.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent. The hot, dry cinnamon-clove opening and the soft amber-cedar drydown read warmest in autumn and winter, with the powdery spice turning cosy on cool skin. Community season votes skew overwhelmingly to fall and winter.
Best Occasions
The warm cinnamon-and-clove spice with its amber base makes Rousse a natural for dates and cosy casual wear, where its comforting, slightly nostalgic character shines. Moderate sillage keeps it polite enough for a formal cold-weather evening; it is a touch too distinctive and spice-forward for the office and far too warm for sport.
