Douce Amere Cologne by Serge Lutens, Douce Amere, launched in 2002, is an enigma in a bottle. Its unique blend of ingredients enthralls those who enjoy the unusual. The dark, cool scent of absinthe opens the scent profile. Deep and mysterious, its licorice aroma intoxicates and enchants. Spicy cinnamon follows with a warming tone that tingles the nose. Floral marigold softens the sharpness of the first two notes, adding a gentle sweetness and a pleasantly bitter must. Exotic and unconventional, Douce Amere is a magical scent for remarkable evenings.
