Chergui is named for the dry, desert wind that tears through Morocco in summer and brings life to a standstill. Like all of Lutens’ magnificent scent creations, Chergui is high art captured in a bottle, a magical elixir that can instantly turn the most elegant of wearers into slavish wrist sniffers. It’s everything you’d wish for from a perfume named after a legendary wind…sandalwood with a touch of hot incense, honeyed leather and tobacco leaf, it’s quite sweet yet dry, spiced and mysterious. No wimpy, cloying flowers or sticky, humid sugar here – Chergui is full bodied and complex and has a sweet spiciness that’s miles away from something girlish or cute. It’s true poetry in a perfume… a hot and breathtaking fragrance that’s not tame and not at all familiar (and oh-so-gorgeous because of it).



NOTES

honey, musk, incense, tobacco leaf, hay sugar, amber, iris, rose and sandalwood

Chergui

What an incredibly natural smelling fragrance. It smells like the outdoors, tree sap in spring or autumn. There is a fresh air, hay smell with a bit of smoke. Some vanilla to round out and soften the edges. I applied this very sparingly initially and still it creates a beautiful scent bubble around me. There is a natural barnyard type vibe that I get from this too that is similar to the funk one would appreciate in a fine wine. It's not an unpleasant scent at all but is reminiscent of well worn, warm leather and hide. This mélange is wrapped up in a beautiful robe of spices. There is something very dignified and refined yet very earthy, crude and without artifice. It achieves the aesthetic of wabi sabi. This is a very primal, soothing and comforting scent. Several hours later after returning home, I was really pleasantly surprised by smelling something wonderfully sweet, warm and toasty, and realized it was me! This is a scent I could reach for often. It is so comfortable to wear.

another baby powder scent

Oh, I was so hoping for something interesting and sophisticated. And it was - for the first 3 minutes - then the whole thing collapsed into a cloyingly sweet baby powder scent. This tester is already in the wastebasket.

Cool weather scent

Decent radius fragrance, good for cool weather, especially for evening outings.

Subtle spicy...

A YouTuber convinced me to sample this after raving about how spicy this was but it fell flat for me. I don't hate it but I would probably only reach for it if it were a last option. It lacks the character I was hoping for. Kind of smells like a person after they walk out of a cigar lounge.
