More Serge Lutens perfumes

(Just because I love tobacco)
Fumerie Turque evocatively weaves references to the honeyed tobaccos smoked in the seraglios of the Ottoman empire and the exotic cigarettes flaunted by the Garçonnes in the gender-bending 1920s. It can’t be too much of a stretch to envision Fumerie Turque as Serge Lutens’ tribute to Caron’s trailblazing Tabac Blond – albeit with his trademark Oriental twist.

Smokey wisps of honeyed, fruity tobacco rise from a smooth, vanilla-flavored blend of tonka bean, styrax and Peru balsam, conjuring lazy winter afternoons smoking a hookah and nibbling rose-scented Turkish delights in a leather-paneled room. The rich, floral, faintly animal odor of beeswax rises from floors strewn with ornate rugs and polished daybeds. The scent of late-blooming jasmine wafts up from the palace gardens. Through the intricate wooden lace of a musharabieh, the Bosphorus glints in the sunset. Intoxicating and comforting, Fumerie Turque is the ultimate Orientalist reverie in a bottle. Succumb.

And I love the description of A La Nuit:
If you’ve ever walked down an ordinary street in the dark and unexpectedly encountered the otherworldly scent of night-blooming jasmine, you know how enchanting and disorienting it can be. The shadows seem deeper, the stars seem closer and the air becomes loaded with possibilities. It may be difficult to remember why you were walking down this particular street to begin with, but you want to stay there forever. A La Nuit is a ravishing, ruthlessly true jasmine fragrance. It captures the bloom’s dizzying, head-spinning quality of being euphorically light and darkly sensual all at the same time. At first sniff, it feels like the world has been completely overrun by the glowing white flower, but it quickly settles into just the right amount - fresh and lovely and airy. No matter how light and silky it becomes, it never entirely loses its slink and growl, because it’s jasmine, y’all. It’s always sexy. If you hate jasmine, this will not change your mind, but if you are a jasmine lover, this may well turn you into a jasmine addict. Absolutely stunning.

Actually, what I had come for was the Rose-themed perfume, Sa Majeste La Rose. I first noticed it in Paris by Yves Saint Laurent, and then in I passed by some roses...

All of me - Billie Holiday playing...
