Where this hot, dry Eastern wind offers its ultimate reward – sap, resin and elixir – to be orchestrated into a scented, candied fragrance by alchemist Serge Lutens.
"A fire fueled by the wind, a desert in flames.
As if bursting from the earth, Chergui, a desert wind, creates an effect that involves more suction than blowing, carrying plants, insects and twigs in an inevitable ascent, persistent gusts crystallizing shrubs, bushes and berries, which proceed to burn, wither and pay a final ransom in sap, resins and juices.
Night falls on a still burning memory, giving way to the fragrant, amber and candied aromas of the alchemist that is Chergui."
