The Architecture

Chergui is named for the dry, desert wind that tears through Morocco in summer and brings life to a standstill.  Like all of Lutens' magnificent scent creations, Chergui is high art captured in a bottle, a magical elixir that can instantly turn the most elegant of wearers into slavish wrist sniffers.  It's everything you'd wish for from a perfume named after a legendary wind...sandalwood with a touch of hot incense, honeyed leather and tobacco leaf, it's quite sweet yet dry, spiced and mysterious.  No wimpy, cloying flowers or sticky, humid sugar here � Chergui is full bodied and complex and has a sweet spiciness that's miles away from something girlish or cute.  It's true poetry in a perfume... a hot and breathtaking fragrance that's not tame and not at all familiar (and oh-so-gorgeous because of it).
