Serge Lutens Chergui
Serge Lutens Chergui – Amber oriental fragrance with tobacco & honey
A warm desert storm of honey, tobacco and incense
Chergui by Serge Lutens, created by Christopher Sheldrake in 2001, embodies a sand-laden wind filled with oriental warmth. The opening immediately reveals a spicy, smoky accord blending dry tobacco, flakes of immortelle and hay, softened by golden honey. The heart develops into a balsamic and smooth blend of amber, sandalwood, incense and the powdery roundness of iris. The base settles into the skin with soft woods, musk and tempered tobacco, creating a warm, captivating and profound trail.
