Serge Lutens — Daim Blond

Decanting from 2013 bottle (exactly like the one on the image).

Pale suede and dried apricot — two notes that have no business working together this beautifully. Cardamom and hawthorn open with a brief, almost camphoraceous snap before the apricot softens into the butter-soft leather heart, lifted by cool iris. The heliotrope and musk base add just enough almond warmth and animalic depth to keep it from reading as simple. Cozy and subtly erotic in equal measure, and one of the most elegant suede fragrances ever made.
