Doesn't "fille" mean young girl? Nothing young or girly about this scent...expect a straight-forward Lutens composition of resins, spice and fruit.
Nuits de Cellophane was a vast departure for Serge that had some of us worrying. Fear not though, FenA is back to what we know and love, although I can't help but feel like wanting more. You get pretty much what you'd expect - a smokey, piney opening with sweet, burnt sugar accents (immortelle?), followed by a lovely transparent incense with very faint fruit notes. Take a few drops of Chypre Rouge, add it to Amouage's Jubilation XXV and stir.
Yes, I understand the brilliance of the Lutens style is that of emphasization. Here the already present pine-stylings within incense are brought to the front for all to enjoy. It's perfectly lovely, but it just doesn't thrill me. Also, it's a tad too strong.

Hey Dane,
ReplyDeleteWas wondering if you've tried the new Amouage epic both mens and womens yet?
Not yet...saw them on the weekend, but was only had space for Aiguilles (which took up a lot of "air") and Hommage...mmm...Hommage.
ReplyDeleteWill review soon. :)
Ah yes Hommage too, post a review of that also.
