10 thoughts on “Review: Vitriol d’Oeillet from Serge Lutens (2011)

  1. I adore carnation essential oil and was hoping Serge would give me a warm, full-bodied, spicy floral carnation. Instead I found VdO cold, dusty, subdued and peppery rather than spicy. Very disappointing for me but interesting to think of it as a masculine, not something that would have occured to me.

  2. I like my florals cold and detached and probably this is why I appreciated it so much. And as you very accurately pin down it can be a very beautiful masculine floral. Nor ground breaking but beautiful. In fact exactly because it is not ground breaking it will be a very good buy on ebay in a few months.

  3. Not exactly Persolaise but that's the idea. There is a lot of speculation on ebay and some SL releases can be found at very good prices if one is interested. I got a 70% full bottle of Louve for 25 euros.

  4. Thanks for an interesting draw, Persolaise! Andy made us all so curious at his new very feminine creation in the spirit of vintage perfume. So, I am in.

    And the link between film and fragrance. Well – before I entered the world of parfumism I never heared about this interesting game going around here – to recognize the perfume bottles shown in the movies 🙂

    And another rather funny link – wasn't it shown in the latest commercial of J'adore? 🙂

    By the way – love films made by Chanel for their Chanel No.5 advertisement.
