REVIEWS

Fragrantica - Beautiful astonishing jasmine and various strange smells, which is stunning, and wonderful! Yes it has a dirty aspect, but that's how jasmine is to me. It's an extraordinary flower, and has hidden depths. This perfume has mystery and secret dark chambers, and I feel like a witch when I wear it. It's fabulously weird, yet voluptuously feminine and splendidly erotic. I adore it. It lasts incredibly - 12+ hours and is strong for the whole time. I am totally besotted by Sarrasins; and the bottle too! Completely in love and bewitched by it!

Fragrantica - Oh it's wonderful!! Very strange and luxurious. Gorgeous deep full luscious jasmine, and some dirtyish undercurrent which I'm mad about!! It's incredible and I love it!!!
And the bottle is fantastic!! One of the most divine bottles I've ever seen!! I am wild about both the amazing perfume, and the stunning bottle. They both have real solidity and power. Oomph!! Such a fantastic black/purple and silver!!! I LOVE it!!

Fragrantica - The sensual darkness of this scent reveals dangerous side of jasmine that I adore. The scent is carnal and in a way indolic. I hate indolic scents, but yet I crave this deep and animalistic jasmine....I recommend this beautiful scent for all jasmine lovers. I have tried other jasmine scents, including A La Nuit, also by Serge Lutens, but nothing comes close to the beauty of this scent. If you love dark side of jasmine but can't stand indoles like me, please give this one a try. You will be surprised at how attractive it could be when it is done right. Overall score 9.5/10.

Fragrantica - The heart of Sarrasins reveals a symphony of notes that dance on the skin, each contributing to the narrative of this olfactory masterpiece. There's an earthiness, a grounding force that anchors the fragrance in a realm where fantasy and reality coalesce. It's as if the perfume has the power to transport you to a different era, where the echoes of bygone romances linger in the air.  As the fragrance settles into its final stages, a sense of melancholy pervades, leaving an indelible mark on the wearer. The dry down is a lingering sigh, a melancholic whisper that echoes the transient nature of beauty and passion. Sarrasins, like a tragic love story, leaves an imprint on the soul-a bittersweet reminder of the ephemeral nature of time.

Fragrantica - Indolic and animalic are not attributes I seek out in a perfume, but Sarrasins is in a different league. A stunning representation of jasmine, a thick warm envelope of scent.  

Fragrantica - Sarrasins is my reference jasmine. I've always preferred Uncle Serge's oriental and woody scents to his florals, but this is undeniably a pinnacle in his lineup. Like stop-you-in-your-tracks great. There's a through-line that connects MKK and Sarrasins. It's as though the furry, leathery musk from that masterpiece has been imbued with the deepest of jasmines, as though it's been given a jasmine "filter." ...Utterly seductive. Take me now. I swoon. I melt. I submit.
