- Forgive me for being so so chatty as I blabber on about my first perfume by Serge Lutens: Datura Noir (2001, nose: Christopher Sheldrake). I grew Datura flowers last year and am fascinated by something so beautiful and heady yet deadly! AKA moonflower, Brugmansia, angel's trumpet, devil's weed). This gorgeous perfume borders on deliciously ripe + about to turn against you! Incredible work of art!
Do you own any Serge Lutens? Which do I need to purchase next? Is there such a thing as gothic perfumes?

XO,

The bewitching Dutura Innoxia! My yard Is filled with them❤️ I will purchase this perfume soon!! The flowers smell like vanilla lemon in my opinion. Thank you for this delightful video🤣
Oooh, a yard filled with them; smell heavenly. Thanks for your kind post. Would love to hear what you think of the Lutens scent if you get it!
I love the way you review freely, I can’ term it, but it’s like having some tee and biscuits and listening to you have a discussion, very nice review. I have the bottle sitting next to me, bu I don’t want to spray it yet, the same with another of his, and I have aaa tired on the way, but saving them for special times. In answer to some of your questions, my second favourite is Mancera, and yes
I’m sampling this fragrance and looked up reviews. So glad I found your channel (I subscribed right away)! This is a beauty. I see another purchase from fragrancenet in my future.
Hi there and thank you for watching and for this lovely post. The Serge Lutens line is all so interesting + artistic. Some I love but those I don’t I still really appreciate. They can be spendy so I am building my collection slowly. Fragrancenet is wonderful! 💛
I'm about to order Datura Noir and I was looking for reviews and some guidance and you popped up!!! Xoxo Amy🌸
Can’t wait to hear what you think of it! XO.
Like you I found a great price for my bottle of datura noir
This truly is not a run of the mill summer beachy fragrance ,I get a green note in there that almost resembles a daffodil and it’s so fresh to me ,it stops it from being to heady or clawing on me .
You are an amazing story teller! One of my new found hobbies during covid has been to watch perfume bloggers on youtube and while I've only watched this one video, I'm pretty sure you are the best of what I've run across.... I'm just starting to dip my toe into perfume buying again. ~15 years ago when I landed my first real corporate job I tried to learn to love perfume by blind buying my way into that world, which of course mostly landed me with stuff I really didn't like; so I walked away from perfume altogether for more than a decade. I did buy chergui a couple of years ago and while I like it a lot I wasn't blown away. (I guess I keep blind buying because I like the adventure?). On a very big impulse buy just tonight I bought 4 bottles, jeux de peau, daim blond, ambre sultan and arabie. 2 of those (daim blond and ambre sultan) I tried all those years ago (from small vial samples) and at that time I didn't even know the company- I just vaguely remembered their names and liking them. fingers crossed that they are what I remember. but after watching this video, I think I may need to go find a 5th. thanks
Nice to meet you and thank you for your lovely post! Your compliment sure put a spring in my step-thank you! When you receive your Lutens scents, would you tell me more about Arabie? I’m saving up for a bottle! What an incredible group of perfumes you’ve chosen.
@@savorsalvagescent2300 I'll do you one better. I've never done it before so I'll have to figure out how but I can decant and send you a sample if you'd like.
@@kellylyons7611 thank you so very much! Only if we can swap!!? You can reach me at ofcorsetisaimee@sbcglobal.net if you’d like to exchange addresses. If you drop me a line, please tell me if there are any specific perfumes or houses you are looking to test and/or types of perfumes you love!
Sorry, pressed submit too quick, and can’t find an edit button.but was saying in my humble opinion, I’d agree about there being a gothic fragrance, I guess any fragrance could be subjectively termed as something akin to the picture it draws in your mind :)
Love this post - perfectly worded! 🖤
Wonderful, deep detailed review!! Very useful also with the description!! Thanks a lot 😘😘
Lucrezia, thank you for the kind words!!
New subbie !!! I am currently researching on Datura Noir.. considering in getting it :)
Thank you for being here! If you like ripe, almost buttery gardenia or tuberose scents I bet you would like it! Please stay in touch + all the best to you.
Savor Salvage Scent i am a recent tuberose convert... 😂 i did not like it before. And i detect it IMMEDIATELY when i smell it. And i am so biased that when i see it in the notes i am like NOPE. But i tried Jaipur Chant by Sana Jardin and i like it ! I hated my sample of Le Beau Parfum by MFK. And when i revisited it, i love it now 😂 i hope this Datura Noir will be my gothic tuberose 🖤 will come back here tomlet you know once i get it ....
I blind bought it today - black Friday 25% off so....i liked the goth gardenia scent you mentioned so I subscribed!!!
Based on your reviews, I think your next SL perfume should be Feminite du Bois (the femininity of wood, though some think it' translates to feminine wood, which is incorrect). It is a highly regarded scent among professional noses and other perfume makers, and is thought to be the one perfume they wished to have made themselves. You may also be able to snatch a good price for it on eBay.
I am in sooooo much trouble. I want that one, Chergui, Arabie, etc. slowly but surely! Thank you for the suggestion. :)
I'm very interested in that one as well, though I didn't know any of that about it. Now I'm even more intrigued 🤔
I love your look! Datura Noir is what I am wearing at the moment ---- I also love Feminite du Bois and Sa Rose Majescule. IMO La Fille de Berlin has an antiseptic dry downthat is not my favorite, though I own it. I also own A la Nuit, which I haven't gotten into yet, because I am in love with Datura Noir and can wear nothing else. I am waiting for my bottle of Fleurs D'Oranger to try. I am also contemplating blind buying a bottle of Jeux de peau from the SL website --$290.00! But I want to own it.....
Susan Masson so nice to “meet” you and thank you for your lovely feedback! I am itching to try the orange flower one (I love orange blossom and neroli scents) . I am LOVING Datura Noir-so heady and beautiful... almost creamy! Feminite du Bois sounds terrific, too. I’d also love to add Chergui + Ambre Sultan. Slowly. They are a little spendy, especially those bell jars! Thanks again for the kind message + hope you will stay in touch.
@@savorsalvagescent2300 Yes -- I am a perfume hound --- I have about 100 bottles, and of course, that number is still growing. You really must try Feminite du Bois --- I LOVE that scent. You can get it nicely priced on fragrance.net --- it won't take a huge bite out of the budget. Sa Rose Majeste is an incredible rose scent --- you will NOT end up smelling like grandma --- it is really sexy. Chergui makes me a bit nervous --- I am not a fan of the masculine dry down that can occur with unisex fragrances --- La FIlle de Berlin has that barber shop quality at the end of it that I don't really like, even through it is a very sexy rose fragrance. Ambre Sultan, Santal Majescule, Five O'Clock Gingembre, Un Bois Vanille --- they all temp me all the time. But, any scent will tempt me..... I am looking forward to your next post!
I like the idea of the bitterness...but whenever I find something with that note, it always fades away...I'd like there to be a lingering bitter note. Like how peaches are kind of light and clear and juicy, but also there's that bitterness, it never really isn't there. I like weird even medicinal smells like carbolic or creosote...the bitterness of blackberries is as important as their sweet flesh. Do you know any fragrances that might meet that description?
This is one of the most interesting posts/reflections I’ve ever read about perfume. Thank you for it + let le think on it. One that comes to mind (sadly now discontinued ) is Bvlgari Black, with that rubber/industrial note. But as you suggest, it fades not long after application. I’m thinking about how you’ve described a peach (so true).
@@savorsalvagescent2300 thank you, I like the bitter edge of quality tea, too...(I'm sitting here drinking my Pantenger's and watching your videos)
@@roringusanda2837 You might enjoy Caron’s Eau de Reglisse, my favorite scent, sadly now discontinued. But still can be found. Crisp, cold lemon verbena tea w/ a hint of anise.
