I live in the US. Favorite Serge is, at least today, A LA NUIT. I do love jasmine so.
I live in the US.
Rose de Nuit… very sexy!
Good luck to everyone!
I live in the U.S.
My favorite Serge Lutens fragrance is Fleurs d’Oranger. I first smelled it in Paris last year and it’s haunted me since.
I live in the U.S.
I guess for the most part I go for the old classics in the SL line — my favorites are Iris Silver Mist and Bois de Violette.
I live in the US. My favorite Serge Lutens are Daim Blonde when I want to feel bold and elegent and L’Eau (the original) when I want the fragrant equivilent of a beautiful white silk blouse.
I have never smelled any of Serge Lutens fragrances! but would love to.
I live in the US.
My favorite classic cologne is Habit Rouge.
I live in the US. My favorite SL so far are Douce Amere and Chergui. I’ve tried both Muscs Kublai Khan and Fumerie Turque but haven’t felt the need to get full bottles of them. I’ve tried Iris Silver Mist but haven’t sought it out yet, but certainly hope to!
Thanks!
I live in the US, and I will always have Ambre Sultan in my wardrobe.
I live in the US.
Ummmm, …..favorite……well, I’m quite fond of several, but I’ll pick Chergui because it was my first :). I must confess to liking L’Eau a great deal because it’s just so darn hot here in the summer that sometimes everything feels too heavy, except for L’Eau. So I’d like to try L’Eau Froide.
I live in the US and my favorite Lutens is Fumerie Turque. Thanks for this cool draw.
I live in the US! Pick meeeeee!
My favorite SL is Un Bois Vanille, but in terms of a classic cologne… that’s hard. I love so many.
I live in the US.
I think my favorite SL is Douce Amere, with Bois de Violette as a close second.

My favorite Serge? Oh gosh, there are so many. But if I had to choose just one, I would go with my first one which is Feminite du Bois.
I live in the US. My favorite Serge Lutens is A La Nuit!
I live in the US and you have permission to use the email address in my account. I have never had the opportunity to try a Serge Lutens fragrance, though I have wanted to very much.(Daim Blonde sounds like it would be my kind of thing.) I hope I win, and then I will!
I live in the U.S. and my favorite Lutens fragrance is Chene. Gorgeous on its own and fantastic when layered!
I live in the US.
The only SL scent I own is Gris Clare, but I admire several others. I’ve been waffling on Serge Noire for a while now. . .
I live in the US and my current SL favorite is Fumerie Turque. Quite the opposite of a cologne I suppose.
I live in the US.My favorite Serge Lutens is Iris Silver Mist!!!
Borneo.
I live in the US.
I live in the US. So far, my favorite (and only) SL is Daim Blond!
I live in the USA and my favorite Serge Lutens fragrances are Clair de Musc, Louve, Muscs Koublaï Khän and Datura Noir (in that order). Thanks for the giveaway!
I live in the great state of Colorado. My favorite SL scent is Chergui. Thanks!
I’m in the USA and I didn’t like vanilla in perfumes until encountering Douce Amere. It was a big game-changer for my collection.
I live in the US.
SL isn’t one of my fav. houses as there are many I haven’t tried.
But I do really enjoy Borneo for it’s cocoa -dusted patchouli forest.
Hi, I live in the US
My favorite is good old Feminite du Bois
I live in the U.S.
I love so many SLs, but my hands-down favorite is Tubereuse Criminelle. I don’t even wear it the most of my SLs, I don’t think, but of all the world’s perfumes I would be desperately sad if I thought I might never get to sniff it again.
I live in the US and oddly enough, my favorite Serge Lutens is L’Eau Serge Lutens…
I live in the US and my favorite Serge is probably Cuir Mauresque (I know, just me???), but I love Chergui on my homme.
I live in the US.
My favorite?
Fumerie Turque of course! It’s so smoky and refined. And sexy.
I live in the US. I have only sampled a few Lutens but enjoyed Muscs Koublai Khan and Santal de Mysore.
I live in the U.S. and it’s been 99 degrees here for the last few days, so Sisley’s Eau de Campagne has been getting a major workout. My current favorite of Serge’s is Muscs Koublai Khan…just not in this weather!
Thanks for the drawing and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
I live in the US, and my favorite SL is forever and ever Arabie…. of which L’Eau Froide is probably the exact opposite, but I’m still curious to try it. Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US. The only SL I’ve been able to sample is L’eau Froide, so right now, it’s my favorite.
I live in the US and the main reason I became interested in perfume was because of the SL Un Bois Vanille. Last year my husband brought me back La Myrrhe – absolutely wonderful!
I live in the US and you may use the e-mail address in my account.
I have yet to anoint a favorite SL, but A La Nuit, Fleurs d’Oranger, Tubereuse Criminelle, Filles en Aiguelles [sp.?], and Vitriol d’Oeillet are on my to-sniff list. My favorite classic cologne is Eau de Rochas. Thanks for the draw, Robin!
I live in the USA and my favorite Lutens is a tie between Chergui and Cuir Mauresque.
I live in the US. I love Cherqui ! i wear it in fall, but just recently starting using it in summer too
I live in the U.S. My favorite Lutens is Bois et Fruits.
I live in the US and you can use my email.
I have not tried any SL scents so I have no favorite. I’m not sure if I really have a favorite cologne but I guess I like Thierry Mugler Cologne and 4711.
I live in the U.S.
My favorite Serge Lutens fragrance is Borneo 1834. I have a few others but I love the dirty but sweet bitter smell provided by the cocoa and patchouli. I just feel decadent and like no one else smells as good as me when I’m walking around wearing it.
Good luck everyone and thanks for the contest!
I live in the U.S. and have never had the pleasure of trying any Lutens fragrances. So I hope I win this one!
I live in the US, and my favorite Serge Lutens fragrance (and one of my top favorites of all fragrances) is Rose de Nuit. Thanks for the draw!

I live in the United States.
Bois de Violette stuns, but also seems to drone over time. Un Lys actually smells too beautiful to wear.

I live in the U.S. I’ve gone through so many Serge favorites since I was first introduced to the line 8 years ago: Un Bois Vanille, then Chergui, followed by Fumerie Turque, then Borneo 1834, followed by Bois de Violette.
But right now, my favorite SL is La Myrrhe, the first aldehydic scent I’ve ever tolerated, much less loved. It is rich, deep, buttery, and simply divine.
Thanks for the opportunity!
I live in the US.
I’m a huge fan of SL and love Jeau de Peux and Cedre!
I live in the US and my favorite Serge Lutens fragrance is Five o’clock au gingembre. But only because I’ve tried two of the Serge Lutens fragrances!

Hi Robin — I live in the USA and I like Gris Clair, but my fave is A La Nuit–I’m a jasmine girl, just like you!! thanks for the draw.
Hi Robin. I live in the US and while I don’t think I can safely choose a favorite SL frag given I haven’t tried enough to know that yet, my favorite of the ones I’ve tried so far is Miel de Bois. I don’t get the dreaded cat urine note, just lots of sweet, pure honey. It’s wonderful and I wish it would be re-released on this side of the pond.
Hi Robin, I live in the US. Being new to this I have not tried any Serge Lutens fragrances yet. I did just purchase Pamplemousse Rose cologne by Hermes. It’s not a classic but I like it very much on hot days. Thanks for the draw.

I live in the US and today my fave Serge Lutens is Tubereuse Criminelle – it changes often as I like a lot of SLs.
I live in the US, and Un Bois Vanille is my favorite Serge Lutens fragrance. I’m a vanilla lover, and I love the toasty warmness of the scent, especially because it never gets cloying even in the summer heat.
I live in the US and my favorite SL is Bois de Violette (though I have only sampled 5 or 6 of his line).
Thank you for the draw!
I live in the US. My favorite perfume by Serge Lutens so far is Iris Silver Mist. What a masterpiece! Thank you for the draw.

I live in the US, and you definitely can use my e-mail address to contact me. My favorite SL is Un Bois Vanille, but I’m dying to try the SL L’Eau Froide. It sounds like just the ticket for a hot, sticky Carolina summer, so please pick me! Please?!
I live in the U.S. and you can use my email address. I have never tried this brand, but would love to. It is hard for me to choose a classic- I guess if I had to choose, it would be cool water woman. Thanks for the contest.
