About this fragrance

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

Chergui (2001) is a Serge Lutens oriental spicy composition by Christopher Sheldrake. Its note pyramid lists tobacco leaf, honey, amber, hay, incense, sandalwood, iris, musk, and rose. The main accords—amber 100%, sweet 90%, tobacco 86%, honey 84%, powdery 72%, woody 64%—describe a dense, sweet, resinous scent with a powdery iris facet. On skin, expect a honeyed tobacco opening that settles into a warm amber and sandalwood base, with hay and incense adding dryness and smoke. The rose and iris contribute a soft floral powderiness, while musk rounds the finish. This is not a fresh or light fragrance; it is rich and persistent, best suited to cool weather, evening wear, or collectors who appreciate bold orientals. It leans unisex but often appeals to those who enjoy sweet tobacco and amber profiles. For collectors, Chergui is a reference point in the Lutens line—unapologetically opulent and unmistakably of its era.
