   Isla Kim Dislike December 27, 2025

   Picked up a sample of Chergui after reading the community buzz (2001). The heart is the best part for me: Tobacco Leaf and Honey feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Tobacco Leaf with Honey comes forward — smooth and well done. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. Sadly this one does not work on my skin.

   Everyone keeps talking about Chergui, so I finally gave it a proper test. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Tobacco Leaf with Honey, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Tobacco Leaf with Honey comes forward — smooth and well done. Two sprays are enough — it carries well without shouting. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.

   I’ve been wearing Chergui on and off for a few weeks now (2001). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Tobacco Leaf with Honey, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Tobacco Leaf with Honey comes forward — smooth and well done. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. The composition is well made but not for me.

   A friend passed me a decant of Chergui (2001) and I wasn’t prepared for it. The heart is the best part for me: Tobacco Leaf and Honey feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Tobacco Leaf with Honey comes forward — smooth and well done. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

   My first Serge Lutens experience was this one, Chergui (2001). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Tobacco Leaf with Honey, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Tobacco Leaf and Honey feel carefully balanced. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   Serge Lutens knows how to compose, and Chergui (2001) is proof. The heart is the best part for me: Tobacco Leaf and Honey feel carefully balanced.

I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

   A couple of wears in, Chergui has really grown on me. Give it a little time and Tobacco Leaf with Honey comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Tobacco Leaf with Honey, which is where the fragrance really shines. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. I would happily buy a full bottle.

After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Tobacco Leaf with Honey, which is where the fragrance really shines. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely.

    For a 2001 release, Chergui deserves more attention than it gets. Give it a little time and Tobacco Leaf with Honey comes forward — smooth and well done.
