Dearly Departed: SL De Profundis

Well I guess I will keep the Serge thing going here since one of my Surrender to Chance hauls contained a sample of this 2011 release. I wrote at the time that it gave me the same feeling as Serge Noire. It’s a contemplative, meditative scent after you’ve gotten over the hit-with-a-flower-shop opening.

Looking back on that review brings home a fact of time passing. I wrote it in 2012 and the actual sample was sent to me by my Scent Twin, the late (and dearly missed) Gaia. 

Notes from the surrender to chance, from where you can buy samples: chrysanthemum, with additional notes of gladiolus, dahlia, chamomile, peony, woods, hay, violets, incense and candied fruit. 

Unfortunately I don’t see it on the Lutens Website but I do see some crazy prices on eBay. Let’s hope that (like Miel de Bois and others) that they are just behind held in the vaults waiting for another turn in the spotlight.

Did you ever try this one? Have a favorite that has just disappeared? Let’s discuss in the comments.
