I blind bought this fragrance years ago, and regretted it instantly. The notes sounded promising to me, but I couldn't get into this scent. The opening of this fragrance has to be one of the...

I absolutely love this fragrance. It's intense, strong and can be overpowering. But at the right moment in time, it's fabulous. Arabie is a fragrance that I will say is "stronger than I am" so I...

Just blind bought this. Huh. This one is different and I’m trying to decide whether I like it or not. On me, this juice dries down to what seems to be figs and apricots and I want to say bay...

I am in love with Serge Lutens. No, seriously...this man is an absolute genius!! In the past three months, I have bought eight of his fragrances. Every single one is so very different, but they all...

Don't tell Monsieur Lutens but I think this perfume smells exactly like a cross between the pineapple fried rice at my local vegan Thai restaurant and a Port that someone scored in Paso Robles for...

Initially this fragrance can be somewhat overpowering and sweet but it dries down to a very nice spicy smell that has the tendency to recede and then suddenly reappear with a little blast of spice....

Initially I get a blast of herbs, almost of a medicinal quality, and it's strong. The bay leaf, cumin and clove translates as spicey cola to my nose, but underneath you can definitely sense the...

This is why my mom always smells like fruitcake in winter. This scent is comforting and delicious at the same time.

This stuff smells so bad that it honestly and truly makes me sick to my stomach. I get something like a ton of those dried fruits. Thank God it's only a vial, imagine what a full bottle would do!

Wow, this is a very spiced potion. As the notes have been mentioned in previous reviews, I won't go through them again. This is a very thoughtful fragrance as are most from Serge. I can't wear...

Arabie is most certainly spicy. Being a fan of spicy orientals, I thought this would be instant love for me. It is not however the case. I like it, I like it a lot. It's lasting power is also...

Arabie may be the most complex Oriental fragrance I have ever smelled. Back before the more esoteric niche houses (some of whose frags smell like nervous breakdowns), Arabie was a shocker. ...

Wow, where's the spoon? Beautiful gourmand frag of dried spiced fruit with SL's oft used amber base with some cedar. Whoever said "pumpkin pie" nailed it. On my skin it dries down to cherry pipe...

My HG winter perfume: a heartbreakingly deep, evocative oriental. Candied orange and lemon peel, ginger, cardamom, and in the drydown: a dry, sundranched spicy-dusty woody scent. You could hardly...

This is a very beautiful fragrance on me, it is all sweet goodness with it's syrupy top notes, and a spicy-woody very "bois" heart. The only thing is, I have a hard time deciding which Serge Lutens...

Interesting fragrance. In the opening notes, I detect some mint as well as some spices. Then turns into dry fruits and sweet syrup. I'd wear this fragrance in the winter when I'm needing some...
