Serge Lutens La Fille De Berlin

The perfect gothic fragrance. Strong and mysterious with a hint of sexy.

The mother of all spicy rose scents, La Fille De Berlin is a cinnamon, garden rose and oakmoss composition that is vastly complex and layered with a lot of attention to evoking noise and glamour. Think of this like a shimmery red potpourri veil, exactly like the dried rose and allspice mixtures your grandma would buy in a bag and scatter in a bowl for the guest bathroom - only sexier than that. The rose is bright and fresh, never stale and it lasts forever, especially on clothes. La Fille is also a red lipstick fragrance, like a bombshell's go-to that evokes positive images of the "aggressive" woman. A power fragrance. I like to wear this at Christmas time and Valentine's Day, as she's a perfect winter night floral. I get more compliments on this than any other fragrance I wear. Vamps, witches and goth girls will LOVE this.

I can see how this wouldn't be for everyone given the sharp spicy smell, so def get a sample/travel first... but to my nose this is a sexy and spicy scent. I found myself continously smelling my wrist to get more. I haven't seen it mentioned in the notes but I do get a hint of a sharp clove type of spice note. Overall, it's lovely. I would wear this on a date night.

I loved this! My fiancé got this for me by accident. I originally wanted the Fils De Joie by SL. The bottle is just the same. But this smelled VERY similar, but with more rose and equal parts of that STRONG Jasmine I can only find in few perfumes. It’s very strong. It’s such a pretty scent, I wouldn’t call it cloying, but you’ll definitely have a scent trail a mile away, and a bubble the size of a house. This is definitely a floral strictly. Strong floral. I LOVE IT!
