Chergui by Serge Lutens is a warm, honeyed tobacco with a dry edge of hay. Tobacco leaf, honey and amber open it thick and sweet, with none of the usual sharpness up top. Underneath, hay and incense keep it dry rather than syrupy, while sandalwood, iris, rose and musk build a soft, powdery base. Serge Lutens built it unisex, and it wears equally well on anyone who likes a scent with real depth. Most voters reach for it in autumn and winter, wearing it through the day but favouring it once evening sets in. Longevity leans long-lasting in the community vote, and sillage leans strong too, so it fills a room without much effort. A 10ml decant is enough to live with it across a cold season before deciding on the bottle.

The community verdict
Honey and tobacco leaf give way to hay, incense and sandalwood in Chergui. The largest group finds it long-lasting, with moderate wear also reported; strong projection leads, though moderate has support too. Its warm, sweet character fits autumn nights, and winter evenings work too.
