Another Serge Lutens for us to try as since our perfume of
the week is Daim Blond.
Daim Blond translates to ‘white suede’ and there is a
definitely softer edge to this compared to my personal Serge favourite (Serge
Noire) which is rich, dark and leathery in comparison.
The perfume contains hawthorn, cardamom, iris, apricot (our
fragrance of the week), heliotrope, musk and leather. The initial and most apparent aroma is the fuzzy
fruitiness courtesy of the apricot which somehow helps to transform the soft
leather into soft suede. The cardamom gives
it warmth while the musk gives it depth.
I keep smelling my wrists – the aroma hasn’t changed much
over the last few hours. There is a
dusty sweetness to it that is innocuous and pleasant.
Unlike Serge Noire it won’t turn heads, but it will appeal
to a wider audience who like a strong perfume without being too bold.
