    Are you looking for the best tobacco fragrance? Or the best Valentines day fragrance? Chergui could be it. In this video I am reviewing what I consider to be a modern classic of perfumery. Chergui is a fragrance from the french house of Serge Lutens and contains notes of Tobacco, Honey, Incense and Hay. All these notes combine to provide the wearer with a delightful and intoxicating composition.

    When I was starting out on my fragrance collecting journey, every frag reviewer - and there was just a handful pre 2010 - had chergui in his top 10. But nobody is mentioning it - and the house of lutens - anymore. Glad to see an old favorite getting much deserved love again.

    It IS a gorgeous fragrance. I am a fan of Orientals to begin with so falling into Chergui was easy for me. YES the details are where it shines. It has a great attitude, true. Very saucy sexy French joie de vivre that conquers the senses.
    Childhood memories pop up all the time for me in fragrances. The good ones for the most part. My latest review as flooded with childhood memories of the hill fires in Southern California.
    Wonderful review Chris. Bravo.

      Falling into Chergui. What a lovely way to put it and that's exactly what happens with this fragrance. I'm super pleased with how my channel is progressing. 1k is a milestone that once seemed so distant but now I can smell it! I think I'll share a glass of champagne with all my viewers once I get there. Right I'm off to watch your video so you'll hear from me again in jiffy! Ciao for now!

    this is the first time for me to give it a shot! And actually i'm not quite sure what is the tobacco scent, but i do get the smell of honey. What is lovely is that the smell of chergui reminds me of the film 'DUNE', the desert planet and the spice, the hot wind blowing up the sand. Just like a brainstorming!

    Love your video! Already loved Chergui (it is beautiful, no?) But, loving Chergui aside. LOVE LOVE your outtakes, as much as the video! Also, want to say that my husband hates perfumes, I love them and we're still not in divorce court, but he will actually wear Chergui when I wear it out, we're actually a matching team. Both of us have a light hand when wearing but you walk by our table and you smell Chergui, people have given us so many compliments. Now, I'm going to have to see ALL your reviews on you tube, I just found this when I googled Chergui for a repurchase. Thumbs up. You...are just haywire, LOL LOL

    Off topic but is there a difference between PP's oils and sprays? Great vids!

    • @FRAGMENTAL
      @FRAGMENTAL  6 років тому +2

      A great question! The oils are slightly higher concentration and will last longer on the skin but don't project as much as there is no ethanol evaporation. The sprays are a touch more diluted but contain ethanol which evaporates to give you a bigger scent bubble. Layer both for the ultimate combo of longevity and projection!
