There are other SL fragrances that are more complex and slowly revealing but say what you will this ALWAYS compels inquiries and positive comments whenever I wear it. And, I just find myself in a better mood. Catching a whiff of myself during the day makes me feel protected, comforted, safe, beautiful and in some odd way – generous. I am a girl who favors spirals, unexpected routes, complicated paths and twits but can’t deny that there is something to be said for an unapologetic straightforward “this is what I am” narrative.

Very unusual layering ideas, thanks!

Wow, very late reply, I missed this comment! Anyway, hope you've tried Rousse by now!

Though somewhat one-dimensional, this is a lovely warm scent.
To add depth to it, try this: layer Rousse over Carlos Santana for Men. It amplifies Santana's spicy notes, while the Santana gives it depth.
And if you're really feeling puckish, try layering Diptyque's l'Autre over Serge Lutens' Arabie. The Arabie adds a golden note to the Diptyque, while l'Autre amps up the spices.
Shouldn't work…but it does…

Oooo…want it, want it, want it. “Chypre rouge” did some strange things to my psyche–and with names like “Clear Gray” and “Datura Noir”…I can't help but imagine some hoodo-voodo passing through Serge's veins.

I haven't reviewed it because I don't really care for it, although I'd agree it is not your common vanilla fragrance

For the last two days I have been trying Un Bois Vanille. I'm surprised this has not been reviewed. This is not your common vanilla fragrance. I do smell the vanilla but there is also some spice in it. I smell the almond and musk but I also smell verbena.

Good a guess as any!

My grandmother always made jam, too. She did this in the summer when the berries are ripe. Maybe it reminds him of summer.

Two of my favorite FMs, lucky you! They won't even mail you samples if you live anywhere near a store, even if it is 2 cities away. But sorry you can't easily buy either brand!
