What does Chergui (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and few choose summer. It is favoured most for evenings and nights out. It is unisex, reading slightly more masculine than feminine.

Russian leather and hay give it a dry, leathery frame, while immortelle sweetens it. The sweet and gourmand accords lead, with spice, resin and a powdery woodiness alongside. As a whole it feels warm and oriental. Serge Lutens Toison d'Or - Chergui and Zara Bohemian Oud have a close profile.
