About Chergui

Chergui by Serge Lutens, introduced in 2001, is an evocative fragrance that embodies a mystical journey into the aromatic heart of an exotic desert. Created by the famous perfume maker Christopher Sheldrake, this perfume from the oriental notes evokes images of warmth desert winds and the enigmatic, historical nights beneath the sky filled with stars. Chergui Cologne is named after the hot and dry winds from the Saharan desert; it wraps them up in a fabulous olfactory signature.

Fragrance Family:

Oriental

Scent Type:

Warm Spicy, Sweet, Smoky

Notes:

Chergui starts with a distinctive spicy note of tobacco and an intriguing sweet whisper of honey, instantly transporting the senses to a place of luxurious opulence. The transition introduces the warmth of the iris and the rose that create a mild, floral heart which is not the same with the spice but is the perfect counterpoint to it. At the end, the perfume moves into a strong, woody base of amber, sandalwood, musk, hay, and incense, making a memorable and powerful scent experience.

Suggested Use

For optimal effect and longevity, apply Chergui Cologne to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears. To enhance its enticing aroma, apply it after a shower on warm skin, allowing the perfume to meld seamlessly with your natural body heat, and evoke its mystical allure continuously throughout the day.

Hey everyone, Justin here. And today I'll be reviewing Chergei by Serge Lutens. Now this fragrance is a little on the expensive side. But it's extremely popular, and for good reason. Tobacco and honey dominate the scent, supported by notes of amber, iris, rose, hay, musk, incense, and sandalwood. Now I love how long lasting it is. And its moderate sillage means it won't overwhelm the people around you. I recommend it particularly for fall and winter night wear. Well, that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this review. And please don't forget to follow FragranceX on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat. And please subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Chergui is a lovely, sexy scent that takes you on an olfactory magic carpet ride...it begins on a somewhat sharp, dry visit to the spice market, where cinnamon, honey, and soft wisps of tobacco and sweet hay swirl about. As the carpet leaves the dry, dusty earth, you are lifted on a heart of

beautifully blended spices and resinous amber. The fragrance is by now indistinguishable from your own skin scent, heightening your sense of floating above the marketplace, while feeling the warmth and stability of your Chergui experience. As the carpet lightly touches down a short distance from the marketplace, you step off and head towards your American hotel, still carrying the soft, rich base notes of Chergui on your arms and neck. A flicker of scent trails behind as you walk; it has become embedded within your sensory memory bank, to be accessed every time you apply the fragrance. Chergui is so much more than just a fragrance- it is a state of mind.

Disappointing

After years of hearing big hype for this perfume I bought a bottle and have to say what a colossal disappointment. This is not my first Luten fragrance experience. This smells like Fancy Man foot powder. Big No. Returned.

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

BUY THIS

guys, what can I say! You need to go out and buy this fragrance. Talk about something that is sexy, classic, room commanding, and overall attractive. This is a fragrance where if you are going on a first date, I would highly recommend this tobacco, honey, almond and vanilla like fragrance. If you're wearing a suit and you want to smell like a million bucks... BUY IT

have not disappointed. great perfume.

I was unfamiliar with Chergui but really enjoyed my sample. It's a mainly sweet smelling fragrance but not overly strong. I'm not sure I have all the notes down that I smell - they do blend together very well. Initially I get a sweet, warm amber mix with honey and incense overlaying that? There are also some type of powdery notes after a couple of hours. A stronger background of hay seems to exist through a lot of this scent as well. The honey and tobacco leaf are always there and even remain so in the base notes.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Moroccan Desert Wind

After contemplating on so many online reviews & comments. I took the leap into my first Serge Lutens collection. Its definitely something for the evening or Winter. What I love about it is the smell of hay & amber. There is also a resinous tone followed by spiciness. My only issue is that I found that the projection shrinks to stay close to the skin after 4 hours of wearing. Maybe its because of my country's humid weather?

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Great spicy warm tobacco fragrance

This is a beautiful fragrance for men or women and it is a beautiful sweet spicy tobacco- not smoky, but the aged tobacco leaves, which have a sweet, tangy smell. This is one of my all time favorite fragrances- This is my back-up bottle in case it ever gets discontinued. It's more than worth the $.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Interesting....

This is an interesting one; it did very little on my skin at the start but the longer it was on my skin it became more and more interesting with a little bit of sweetness and woody notes. I think when winter hits it will do even better on my skin.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
