From your scent profile
Serge Lutens Louve is a unisex scent where almond, vanilla and amber meet a sweet, gourmand, powdery floral core, and it suits autumn and winter evenings best.
Skunky's take: Comes alive when it gets cold; fall and winter are its seasons.
How does it perform?
From 178 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

Most voters recommend Louve for winter and fall, and choose it for evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Although it is unisex, more than half of voters read it as feminine.
Almond leads at the top. In the heart, jasmine, rose and musk form a soft floral layer. In the base, vanilla, resins and amber sweeten and warm the scent. Fruity, spicy and woody tones stay in the background. Boadicea the Victorious Rouge Temptation and Bottega del Profumo Via del Corso, Roma have a close profile.
