Back From New York
I’m back from New York after having a blast sniffing with Miss Colombina and am already spotting first withdrawal symptoms. My olfactory solace is to have samples of the new Serge Lutens fragrances (that were waiting for me at home, thanks to a very kind fellow perfume lover from Europe). My first impressions (for those who’re really dying to know what they’re like): Sarrasins, the jasmine one, is Gorgeous. The color is what struck me the most at first – it’s deep, rich purple. Upon first sniff, a luscious, indolic mix of tuberose and jasmine. Louve, the almond one, is surprisingly good! It reminds me a lot of Lipstick Rose by Frederic Malle mixed with Rahat Loukoum, one of the Serge Lutens non-export scents, plus a little almond. I know this probably sounds odd but that’s really what my nose is picking up at the moment. I plan to do more detailed reviews of both in the near future. Also, please stay tuned for our New York Sniffage report coming this Thursday! Good day to all!
