🚬 Écrin de Fumée by Serge Lutens | Samplin' Samples

[@ericgordon4746]

Dark and complex is my favorite. Serge Lutens is absolutely 💯 a great house.

[@downtown9451]

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

[@robes08]

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.

[@rod.6707]

Sheldrake made most of my favorites fragrances. Happy to hear your opinion and analysis about this one. Can't wait to try it! 👍

[@robes08]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@DaveNYC]

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?

[@robes08]

Always sample, especially from a brand like this.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

[@robes08]

Thank you! You too!

[@michaelbullock8011]

You welcome keep up the good work and thank you very much GOD BLESS 🙏

[@HigherScents]

Dark cacao, rum, tonka, tobacco in that order with ENOUGH smoke for me. Great frag. Dark but sweet and fruity.

[@robes08]

happy to hear it works for you

[@nishantbhatt6090]

Thanks for the review! I am expecting decant to try when weather gets a bit colder here. Hoping it’s something up my alley.

[@XanoviaScents]

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...

[@robes08]

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

[@ryanmurray6066]

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

[@robes08]

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

[@s.jamezpapaz9564]

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

[@robes08]

[@JohmathanBSwift]

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.

[@robes08]

Yes I own it, I should really do a test drive on it

[@JONATHAN-db2ry]

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 ✌🏻🙏🏻

[@robes08]

Take the chance, it's not a bad release just familiar.

[@lorilynnlodge1808]

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. 😀

[@robes08]

Agreed on welcoming new Uncle Serge's. Thank you for stopping by and commenting

[@joeribt]

When you do Serge I watch!

[@robes08]

Always a good sniff those Uncle Serge's.

[@justaddlight]

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.

[@robes08]

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

[@kerrypope5896]

I think I'm going to buy this one. Marc have you tried La Couche Du Diable from SL?

[@robes08]

I have a bottle of Couch yes, think I did an unboxing years ago.

[@mehdidehghan96]

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.

[@robes08]

Always test yourself before making judgement imo.

[@Brady95]

Awesome stuff. Did you ever try Cannibale?

[@robes08]

I have not, it's on the list tho

[@CinHotlanta]

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 😆

[@robes08]

That's the kind of comment I do want to see, trust your own nose.

[@professorx8258]

What's a better tobacco alternative to this fragrance, Mr. Marc?

[@robes08]

I'd just go Chergui from the same brand and call it a day tbh

[@TeyanThuny]

Caron Tabac Exquis Houbigant Tabac Nomade

[@kahuhipajae4088]

Great lost scent

[@eviheiszki4942]

I hoped it will be a very smoky scent.. Maybe I will give a chance anyway (and I will regret it again 😂)

[@robes08]

😂

[@The_Fuzz1]

I love Uncle Serge, but I wasn't a fan of this one, even though I own a bottle.

[@olfactory_art]

What don’t you like about it?

[@ccdanro]

It;s similar to DHI. A bit different.

[@robes08]

truth

[@thepogue]

Drinking game - every time the glasses are touched do a shot.....you'll never make it to the final thoughts! Good review tho!

[@robes08]

sounds like fun, enjoy the drink fest

[@gevik.Alahverdi]

Nice opening with rum,but boring & somehow dated dry down....not a groundbreaking scent,it's not worth a full bottle for me....

[@robes08]

Appreciate your take on it!
