About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Chene (2004) is a Christopher Sheldrake composition for Serge Lutens built entirely on wood, with oak and birch leading a top accord that also carries rum, immortelle, cedar, beeswax, caraway, thyme and tonka bean. The listed pyramid places all of these at the opening, so expect a dense, immediate arrival rather than a slow reveal: dry timber, a boozy sweetness, and a herbal thread running underneath. Main accords read woody at full weight, with leather, aromatic, herbal, smoky and sweet facets layered in roughly that order.

Collectors drawn to Lutens' darker, less sweet work will find this closer to timber and wax than to fruit or amber. It suits wearers who want a structural, dry woody scent for cool weather and evening wear, and who appreciate the house's denser compositions. Because the pyramid lists no separate heart or base, treat the opening notes as the whole architecture. Sample before committing, and check bottle condition and batch details on older stock, as discontinued Lutens bottles vary.

中文簡介

Chêne(2004)由 Christopher Sheldrake 為 Serge Lutens 調配,屬純木質取向。香調表將橡木、樺木、朗姆酒、蠟菊、雪松、蜂蠟、葛縷子、百里香與零陵香豆全列於前調,沒有另列中調與基調,因此氣味一出即濃密:乾燥木料、帶酒意的甜潤,底層有草本氣息。主要accord以木質為絕對主軸,皮革、芳香、草本、煙燻與甜感依次疊上。

氣質偏乾、結構分明,適合秋冬季節與晚間場合,也適合喜歡品牌較深沉、少果香作品的收藏者。由於官方未分中後調,選購時宜先試香,並留意舊裝瓶身狀況與批次差異。

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
