The verdict
Best for
Serge Lutens is one of modern perfumery's most influential artistic houses, the Paris-based line whose collaborations with perfumer Christopher Sheldrake set the template for what "niche" would come to mean in the 1990s and 2000s. The Palais Royal exclusive collection remains the reference point for narrative-driven perfumery. The 24 live pieces on Scendira are entirely unisex (22 of 24) and heavily Woody (9), with strong secondary counts in Gourmand (4), Warm & Amber (3), Floral (2) and Leather (1), the accord fingerprint is unmistakably Lutens: spicy, resinous, smoky. Prices run $52.85-$375 (average $153). Standout live pieces: Fumerie Turque ($249,.26, smoky honeyed tobacco with warm suede), Borneo 1834 ($248,.23, smoky cacao incense with earthy patchouli), Chene ($249,.20, smoky cedar sap, green thyme, oaky rum), Écrin de Fumée ($81.60,.17) and Vetiver Oriental ($82.43,.11, earthy vetiver under sweet dark chocolate). This is niche fragrance at its most self-consciously artistic.
