Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin

[Isaac]

Has anyone tried this scent? It is suppose to be a true rose scent. I have to say I am a bit of a fanboy in regards to Serge Lutens. I have seven of his scents and am thinking about sending away for a sample of this.

have not. but just got my first Luten's scent a few weeks ago, which are you're favorite?

I haven't tried it yet but Lutens knows his way around a rose, no doubt about that. Trouble is, what is a "true" rose scent? or any "true" scent for that matter? Creed's Fleur de The Rose Bulgare is the best rose scent I've ever experienced but I also love Paestum Rose by Eau d'Italie. Then of course there's Rose Otto from SMK... It's like sweating roses! but I couldn't afford anything more than a wee sample. Anyway, back to Lutens, no, haven't tried it but I expect it's well done. You should get a sample and enlighten us!

I would love to try the Creed. Is that even produced anymore?

I tried Lutens Rose de Nuit and smelt like a granny in a funeral parlour.

Sadly, like all the others in the Private Collection, no, it isn't. But this one is fairly easy to find still and doesn't usually demand high prices - compared to other well known discontinued Creeds. Check Crystal Flacon, you should be able to find some there.

I have a ton of Lutens that I love: MKK, Serge Noir, Fille en Aiguille, 5:00 Gingembre, Cuir Mauresque, Boxeuses, Chergui, Fumerie Turque, Sarassins, Fleur d'Oranger, and Tubereuse Criminelle.

Sadly, I think he butchers lavender and sandalwood, which is so effing weird if you ask me.

i'm doing a video on Fille En Aiguille that I'm gong to post on here. Was extremely impressed with that one.

Borneo is a bold call.

Five O'Clock Au Gingembre
Fumerie Turque
Fille en Aiguilles
Gris Clair (the opening; the drydown is a bit sweet or me)
Borneo 1834 (I liked it more the first time I tried it than the second)

My video this week is on Fille en Aigulles, anxious to see if you have the same thoughts about it that I do.

I love Borneo. Earthy smell, in fact I may wear it tomorrow.
