Pros
- I love Serge Lutens, I don’t love every fragrance but I find they’re all worth trying.
- I loved Serge Lutens, and Frederic Malle too but overall for the value, this set is truly insane.
- Diptyque and Serge Lutens are my faves.
- I’m a *massive* Serge Lutens fan and I appreciate this post so much.
- Serge Lutens' perfumes delight me; they're like poetry on my skin.
Cons
- When I first contacted SL, they responded and said they’d re-ship the package, and would send a new tracking number. When I didn’t get a revised tracking email 6 days later, I followed up and this is what they sent: ... We have also deci...

- A lot of the lines that were doing cool things when I got serious about perfume in the 2000s (yes, I'm old) have had a declining reputation for many of their newer releases (thinking of Frederic Malle and Serge Lutens in particular)
- If you don't like non-modern then you won't like Serge Lutens. I ordered 35 samples and there was like 2 that were actually good. Many of them were outright terrible.

I was looking at Serge Lutens, a house I actually kind of like, and the naming is... horrific? ... It was a brutal, horrific occupation that spanned almost a century, that, again, was incredibly bloody and painful, and this is just straight-up romanticization of colonization in a way that has put me off Serge Lutens entirely.

Try out some Serge Lutens, that’s a house that’s rarely boring.

when many recommended Serge Lutens I was powerfully drawn to many aspects of this house
