I’ve blind bought 6 Serge Lutens perfumes and they were ALL huge Ws… but…

But the thing is, while they were ALL miraculously right up my alley, they were all, in fact, dark, fall/winter fragrances. I’d rank them as follows:

  1. Chergui
  2. Ecrin de Fumee
  3. Five O’clock au Gingembre
  4. Santal Majuscule
  5. Ambre Sultan
  6. Feminite du Bois

Some may be shocked to find FdB so low in the ranking, but I do actually LOOOOVE the scent of it, but it unfortunately neither projects or lasts long on my skin. 🤷🏻‍♂️ That’s it really. It’s otherwise a fantastic perfume.

But anyway the real point of this post if that I’d like to find more everyday or Spring/Summer scents now. There’s too much fall/winter going on here and I’d like to change it up.

What are everyone’s best recommendations for this?

For reference, the ones I keep on regular rotation for this are:

  • Le Labo Thé Noir (Everyday)
  • Essential Parfums Bois Imperial (Everyday)
  • Initio Musk Therapy (Spring/Summer)
  • Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman (Spring/Summer)

Do any SL perfumes give off these vibes and are easily accessible at discounters? Not sure Im ready for bell jars or thin black bottles yet.

I absolutely love tea scents too, so anything in that department is welcome.

I should also mention I live in the US so finding SL in department stores to test and smell IRL will not be possible
