Serge Lutens Fils de Joie Reviews

Fragrantica - "Stunning!  THIS is how you do honey properly, this perfume should be a poster child for 'balance'...

Fragrantica - Stunning creation. A true masterpiece. My husband is not impressed, my guess would be it's too indolic for his taste but I love it so much I got it anyway and enjoy it by myself. Sultry, sensual, multidimensional and just perfect. It's my first reach whenever I feel (and dress) sexy and seductive.

Fragrantica - Love at first sniff, a masterpiece. It is a beautiful, feminine delicious jasmine, I feel like a princess when I wear this perfume. Serge Lutens is underhyped in my opinion, Fils de Joie is my favourite jasmine perfume in my collection hands down. Incredibly safe buy if you are a jasmine lover. Lasts an age on my skin (my skin gobbles up perfume) and has no problem projecting either.

Fragrantica - On my skin this opens to a bright grapelike scent, more like a herald for the Queen of the night to arrive and once the fizz settles...the intoxicating night blooming jasmine reveals herself in full bloom. Wearing this in a cool summer night gives me an aura of mystery. Spellbinding!  Great silage ang longevity (6-8hours on my skin)  To me, this fragrances brings me back to South East Asia where I grew up. Of hot humid nights in the jungle surrounded by fireflies, crickets and the distinct scent of night blooming jasmine. Of golden brown skinned women with jet black hair wearing silk sarongs. Of ritual offerings and incense. Of Joy and Romance.
Fils de Joie is a masterpiece for me! A fragrance that captures and defines me.

Fragrantica - Such an unexpectedly salubrious elixir!  An opening spice sparkle lightly dusted over a dry honey that segues back and forth into a heart, no several hearts, of jasmine, night-blooming, redolent, but never cloying and the disarming, sweet green peppery flowering of ylang-ylang..  Jasmine, ylang-ylang and honey so masterfully handled it will sway any man or woman sitting on the fence regarding these intense essences.  There is also a light, persistent whisper of musk, restrained aphrodisiac-at-a-distance, refined like desert breeze through the window....Distinctive, dry and sweet at the same time and deeply enjoyable.. How rare is that?  Le Maitre, Serge Lutens is back at the top of his craft.  Fils de Joie belies his maturity, his poise and it sits beautifully with me.

Fragrantica - Sultry, cloying, sweet and sticky honey and jasmine. Not synthetic, not cotton candy sweet and headachy. Nope. This is pure luxury. Sex in a bottle. Like no other. One spritz is enough to last all day (and possibly night). The floral notes are so exquisitely tempered by the honey and the musk. There is nothing synthetic smelling about this scent. Just pure, syrupy, dense honey and night blooming jasmine. After I spray it I want to lick my pulse points. It smells SOOOOO good. Almost edible. Really a masterpiece.

Fragrantica - My skin really loves honey scents and thankfully can pull them off without veering into urine territory. However, I do have some difficulty with white florals despite loving them so... but in this scent, the honey somehow mutes the dirty aspects of jasmine and creates a beautiful, absolutely stunning display of erotic amour. This fragrance is STRONG, powerful and ever blooming - it keeps warming up with each passing hour...jasmine, honey, ripe fruit, a touch of lipstick... powdery, waxy, creamy and syrup like. If it works on you, it REALLY puts in the work. Rather sweet, I imagine it works best in cooler weather as the heat can make it suffocating. J'adore

Fragrantica - This is just so beautiful, it really does make me want to smile when I smell it. This is lovely jammy jasmine tea with large spoon fulls of honey. I'm envious of the reviews with memories of humid nights and the scent of night-blooming jasmine wafting on the breeze. I crave this and find it to be very alluring. If you love jasmine it's a no brainer, it's truly a joy to wear. Intoxicating. J'ADORE!

From Persolaise- " it presents a decidedly spicy, North African take on the blossoms, conjuring an image in which the white blossoms are crushed in a mortar and pestle with a suitably heady mix of pepper, rose, clove, nutmeg and beeswax. The ochre powder is then flung into the night sky... and carried off by the balmy winds. An intoxicating piece of work and quite possibly one of the finest Lutens releases of the last five years."
