How long does this fragrance typically last on the skin?+−
This scent is known for its impressive longevity, often lasting through an entire evening and into the following morning. It performs significantly better than many other Serge Lutens releases, which some fans occasionally find to be more fleeting.
Is this suitable for a professional office environment?+−
Because of its strong animalic musk and potent jasmine heart, most find this better suited for leisure, evening events, or "nights out." It may be too heavy or provocative for a conservative business setting.
Does the animalic quality make it difficult to wear?+−
While the fragrance is classified as floral animal, the musk is more about adding a warm, skin-like depth and "inky" texture rather than being overtly "dirty." However, those who prefer clean, soapy florals may find it a bit intense.
Is Sarrasins more masculine or feminine?+−
It is designed for both men and women. While jasmine is often seen as feminine, the addition of spicy carnation and a heavy musk base creates a dark, brooding character that many men find very wearable.
