This is gorge, at least on my skin, and dabbed. A tiny bit.
Even my SO likes it (but he has not a common taste anyway).
I get the black turtle neck, black, smoke, incense, cemetary, mothball, steel, hmmm… maybe vanilla, yes to amber in the meaning of “a girl named Amber”, skin, and again: Grave. Cemetery. Stone with R.I.P. And some ironic fun.
I think it’s great, but how could anyone wear a whole bottle?!

It lasts very good and it very intensive. Ooomph.

“Any Serge Noire fans, out there?”

-Me, me!
Although I would not put this one in the same league as a Chergui or Fumerie Turque, I find Serge Noire fascinating, not least because it seems so cryptic to my nostrils: like a firework of dark, smokey tones, which stays with my skin up to the dry-down, hence none of the “nice woody cedary notes”.
I love the kick I get everytime I smell it, especially the medicinal start right after spraying: a morning wake up call of sorts for those days when only something serious, mixte and a bit crazy will do.

I’m smelling vomited skittles.

I am just now trying this, having delayed getting a sample. I love the opening. It is so retro, in a big, beautiful way. I can't think of what it reminds me of, probably because I am tired. Now, after almost 2 hours, it has faded to the pleasant amber woods you mention, but that opening! I really do love it. I just wish it would last longer.
Happy holidays! I always enjoy reading your work.

OMG this is exactly how I feel on nearyl every SL! the worst was gris clair though – the unpleasent, scarry scent of a hospital when I was eight years old, where I should have stayed, far away from my parents, on a diet, with sick kids around me… I nearly started crying, and my friend and me ran out to the car to spray something different over it, because it just… reeked. she has been also reminded of a hospital, she lost two fingers on work-accident. horrid.

You know man, it's all good. I'm just happy going back to L.A., man. This Serge stuff sounds good for one of the greatest players, man.

It is by far the vilest thing I have ever smelled. I have never been so repulsed by a fragrance before. It has a really strong salty, metallic odour that seems to come and go. I was nauseous all day. No surprise, it is oddly tenatious and could not be scrubbed off without much blood, sweat and tears. I am a little perverse in that after hearing its' reputation, I just had to smell it but I have to say, although I like odd scents, this one beat me!

This was exactly what I got – haven't had the courage to sample it a second time yet…
