Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque.

I smelt like a bloody curry house. It's too strong and lingers for hours on end, and tobacco doesn't agree with my skin. It turns into something truly beautiful in the fag end, as with all other Lutens scents, but it's just not worth spending $140 on for a few fleeting hours. It's a shame, because it'd got glowing reviews on makeupalley, basenotes, thenonblonde etc and I was almost about to buy it blind.

Still, I like it more than Tobacco Vanille. At least the Lutens scents evolve over the course of the day. TV is excruciatingly linear on my skin, and smells the same all along.
