A short stop at Taipei's new Serge Lutens counter

La Fille de Berlin by Serge LutensSerge LutensLa Fille de Berlin3.9225 ratings

In my complete trust of @guerlinaughty 's well-seasoned nose, I was hoping to find La Myrrhe. Unfortunately, the bells jars haven't made it to Taiwan (yet?), so I had a little spray of two that had so far evaded me.

La Fille de Berlin: A crisp, berried rose, with a touch of that vintage lusciousness Serge likes to throw around. I smell the green stems, the earthy thorns and the wine-like reddish-purple petals. The perfect honeyed sweetness. It smells a bit too dated for me to wear, but not bad. 6.5/10

Five O'Clock Au Gingembre: A candied-zest, warmly spiced, delicately sweetened cup of ginger tea. I want to eat my wrist, but the sparkly, ambered nature tells me this isn't edible. I love how much the earthy-sweet cacao comes through. Again, I wouldn't wear it, but this is a lovely smell. 7.75/10

    They just opened up export of them to the US so maybe Taiwan could be next with the UK?

      Here's hoping! I'll be back in the UK in December, with a likely stop at Istanbul on the way (such an amazing perfume selection there!), so I predict a sniff in the near future.

    I'm wearing Fille de Berlin this morning. I'm finding it's a bit powdery in the dry down today.

      I'm around 9 hours in now. Very subtle on my skin, but I'd agree. Not super powdery, but there's a dustiness here.

    I really like Five O Clock Au Gingembre but for me it’s a very situational scent. I want to wear it on a fall day walking in a park through fallen leaves while drinking a hot tea.

      That's the vibe! It's very autumnal.
