Chergui (Serge Lutens) is a warm, honeyed tobacco-oriental built around a dry hay/honey accord. Typical development: an initial dry, slightly powdery hay/iris/rose top that reveals a sweet, resinous heart of honey, tobacco, amber and incense, settling on a warm sandalwood/musk base. Common adjectives: honeyed, tobacco, dry-hay, ambered, powdery, smoky/woody and slightly leathery. Best suited to fall/winter and evening or formal/date use; it’s classed and reviewed as a unisex woody-oriental with a rich, complex dry-down.
