This fragrance captures the essence of a hot, dry Eastern wind, delivering a reward of sap, resin, and elixir, orchestrated into a candied, redolent fragrance by Serge Lutens. Often described as 'a fire fanned by the wind, a desert in flames,' Chergui evokes the feeling of a desert wind carrying plants, insects, and twigs in an inescapable ascent. Its persistent gusts crystallize shrubs and berries, leaving a trail of scorched, shriveled remnants that pay a final ransom in saps, resins, and juices. As night falls, a smoldering memory gives way to the fragrant, ambery, and candied aromas. The perfume is presented in Serge Lutens' signature minimalist, uncompromizing bottles, reflecting the creator's exacting nature. These bottles enhance the richness and sumptuousness of the perfumes within, offering scents and colors as nuanced as precious stones. For over 20 years, Serge Lutens has been creating iconic olfactory creations with Proustian accents. Key notes include tobacco, immortal flower, Russian leather, and hay.
