I do love Serge Noir, but from all I’ve read of Attarine I’m not sure that I need to go seek it out. I hate to write it, but it seems like another trip to the well, no matter how good..

Just tried Serge Noir this week and am loving it. It’s funny- I was standing in my closet trying to figure out what to wear and kept getting a whiff of something interesting, captivating. Had to sniff several sleeves before I figured out it was the Serge Noir from the night before, smelled completely different on the shirt than my skin but both wonderful. I love how it completely transforms itself over the hours.
Recent disappointment was Ormande Jayne Woman. I don’t know what that drydown note is it leaves on me but it definitely reminds me of something I hate, a soft and slightly fuzzy tea/flower smell? I couldn’t wash it off of me to save my life.
It never ceases to intrigue me how different scents work so differently on different people (did I say different?!;;)
Am now interested in researching the entire Serge Lutens’ line from everyone’s SL chatter.

Love the el Attarine, which *finally* showed up today. I’ll offer my two cents on it next week, but it’s a different mix on me of other Serge’s, including MKK. You didn’t get that amazing sweat note? I swooned.

If you can find some vintage Femme, you won’t regret the hunt-it does show up fairly often on ebay. No cumin, lots of dirty animals. The modern EdP substitutes cumin for the animalic base, but is really quite pretty too
