El Attarine

7.5

Serge Lutens · 2008

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

Serge Lutens El Attarine is a unisex scent that pairs the spicy warmth of saffron and cumin with the sweetness of dried fruits; it has been discontinued.

Fruity and sweet accords pull it toward gourmand, the spicy and woody side balances that, and resinous, smoky and faintly animal tones give it an oriental weight. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans toward evenings and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it sits squarely in unisex territory.
