A sample of Chergui! Serge Lutens has absolutely incredible delivery as I requested it last friday. Its a 1.2mL EDP and came with a bunch of papers, order forms, and all that jazz...
The initial spray reminded me of something but i couldn't put my finger on it. It's about 10 minutes in development and i figured it out. It reminds me of Diesel Zero + Masculine! Now thats not to say they're identical. The way i would describe Chergui is that it's what Diesel Z+ should have been. It's got that dry, floral feel (and i'm smelling some hay, which adds to the dryness; its desert-themed so i suppose that makes sense!) HOWEVER, Lutens did what Diesel failed at: they added a sweet accord to counter-balance the extreme dryness. The two are alike in that they remind me of carbonation in soda (that probably makes no sense but thats what it reminds me of, not in taste but in...feel(?) )
As my first true dive into the niche market (MI is an embarrassment to Creed, just my opinion) I'm rather impressed!
