Ecrin de fumee reminds me in the opening just a hint of Gourmand Coquin with that dusty cocoa and rum. You describe fragrances so well. As always , Thumbs up
you know what? You just showed me why it was familiar, it reminded me of Guerlain like I said in the review but this pinpoints it to the exact scent and you are right, a little of GC.
Disappointing to hear but I appreciate the honest review. I’ve heard two other people I trust say the same thing. Your description was really helpful though. I know what to expect. Definitely still going to get a sample because why not?
I've not smelled this one,but how you described it, sounds like a put on and go without thinking fragrance. I'm coming back around to those and this sounds really good. Loved the sample review
I'll have to get a sample of this one... Actually there are quite a few SL fragrances that I need to get samples of... I've been sleeping on the house the last few years and need to start digging around again... ^_^ Thanks for giving us your take on this one Marc...
I think it’s a solid release. Nothing exceptional like others from his fragrance line. There isn’t very much of a smoke aspect to this fragrance, but as in the name. Écrin de Fumée delivers more of a hazy overall aspect to dissent. I’ll always welcome to release from Uncle Serge. 😀
Hello! I recommend trying out Lorenzo Pazzaglia’s line of fragrances, it’s starting to get some buzz around the community And im pretty sure all of his fragrances are 30-40% concentration, Lorenzo is a chef turned perfumer! I own Van Py Rhum and it’s a joy to wear, his line is full of boozy dark fragrances that im sure you would love… Im looking at trying out Fom Next which I think translates to smoke in some sort of Italian dialect, and then choco raptor is also on the list for me to try it
Marc, have you had the chance to sample Uncle Serge's le participe passe? I don't think it's for everybody, but I like it. It performs. Cumin & Caramel. I did mention it's not for everybody.
Mmmmm chocolate covered cherrrrry 🤤 I totally get what you mean though. Was expecting more smoke myself. But I feel like I would've been all over this one 6-7 years ago. Now the genre is getting kinda full.
Gonna have to sample this - I am such a sucker for these dark, winter tonka/leather beauties - but yeah, I probably have a dozen different heavy overlaps already in my collection.... but I gotta sniff it at least 😆
Thanks for the review! I am expecting decant to try when weather gets a bit colder here. Hoping it’s something up my alley.

Sheldrake made most of my favorites fragrances. Happy to hear your opinion and analysis about this one. Can't wait to try it! 👍
Hope you enjoy it!
Dark cacao, rum, tonka, tobacco in that order with ENOUGH smoke for me. Great frag. Dark but sweet and fruity.
happy to hear it works for you
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Thank you! You too!
You welcome keep up the good work and thank you very much GOD BLESS 🙏

Always sample, especially from a brand like this.

Thanks for sharing! It can be one of those scents that you could wear in the fall without really thinking much.

Hopefully you'll get your nose on a few new SL's this year!

Agreed on welcoming new Uncle Serge's. Thank you for stopping by and commenting
When you do Serge I watch!
Always a good sniff those Uncle Serge's.
I been waiting on this review for a while... I had high hopes on this one ... Might end up taking a chance anyways. Thanks brother ✌🏻🙏🏻
Take the chance, it's not a bad release just familiar.

Cumin & Caramel. I did mention it's not for everybody.
Yes I own it, I should really do a test drive on it

truth. Even a good pinch of smoke would of changed this one
Great lost scent

That's the kind of comment I do want to see, trust your own nose.
I think I'm going to buy this one. Marc have you tried La Couche Du Diable from SL?
I have a bottle of Couch yes, think I did an unboxing years ago.
I have not tested it yet but if it had a somewhat loud projection for 2-3 hours, I would've buy this. now i'm not sure about this one.
Always test yourself before making judgement imo.
Awesome stuff. Did you ever try Cannibale?
I have not, it's on the list tho
I hoped it will be a very smoky scent.. Maybe I will give a chance anyway (and I will regret it again 😂)
😂
What's a better tobacco alternative to this fragrance, Mr. Marc?
I'd just go Chergui from the same brand and call it a day tbh
Caron Tabac Exquis
Houbigant Tabac Nomade
I love Uncle Serge, but I wasn't a fan of this one, even though I own a bottle.
What don’t you like about it?
It;s similar to DHI. A bit different.
truth
Drinking game - every time the glasses are touched do a shot.....you'll never make it to the final thoughts! Good review tho!
sounds like fun, enjoy the drink fest
Nice opening with rum,but boring & somehow dated dry down....not a groundbreaking scent,it's not worth a full bottle for me....
Appreciate your take on it!
