Just purchased this after watching your review - I’m really enjoying it, I probably would have blind bought on colour alone but a really beautiful fragrance / thank you.
I have just blind bought this one after watching your review. Amazing indeed. It does not pretend to be natural. The emerald green color for a citrus fragrance tells everything. And I like it.
In France you say that something is worth nails (des clous) when it is worthless. But we also call "clous de girofle" this spice that is. ..well... do you say cloves ? Can't remember. "Une pelure" here refers to orange peel. At the Palais Royal store I was told it was his way to refer to this habit at christmas : you plant cloves in an orange, just for the smell of it. This costs nothing ("des clous" 😁) but is worth remembering because it talks about Christmas, happy moments, warmth in the cold weather I suppose. Hence the name ! (And yes, the cheapness of thé orange is here and for a good reason). I hope this could make thé intention behind this fragrance clearer ! Thanks for your vidéos !
This SL fragrance has just appeared on the Jersey based discount site, All Beauty. I'm always intrigued by the mention of a carnation note... They are also selling discounted bottles of DeProfundus, Borneo 1934 and a few other 'investment' level SL bottles. They even have Fille en.? Aig... Pine needles. Please excuse me for backing down on spelling that one. Oeillet took me a while to learn. 😀
When i first smelt this one, I burst out laughing, it immediately brought an image of eighties big hair, bright happy orange dancing in the middle of dance floor🍊😄I agree the colour of anti freeze is rather deliberate to cause a shock as the colour of this scent is almost opposite😉
So...here goes: Des Clous Pour Une Pelure is a triple entendre! It could mean, cloves for a skin (pomander); nails for the peeling (DIY stylee); or wearing nails as a coat (a punk orange wearing a coat of nails). Phew! Why does Serge do this to us?! Lol.
@@Persolaise I’m French so I can say without a doubt that it does not mean , pomander, or that it’s not even about nails ... sorry to contradict. He made a joke with the clove and the orange skin whose are the principal fragrance of this perfume. A possible double acceptable meaning would be : clou = nothing pelure = an old coat = paying nothing for an old coat wich is a kind of « old street French » . Regards . Ps the third note wich does the bridge as you called it , is nutmeg
@@iziablue2Bretville I'm going to have to contradict your contradiction I'm afraid, Izia. I'm aware of this idiom of which you speak (je suis trilingue depuis ma plus tendre enfance). But it is incongruous with Serge's nomenclature philosophy which in almost every instance is a reference to what's in the bottle. So, a hint at ingredients in a more recondite and arty fashion. Hence my preference for pomanders and orange peels rather than flea-bitten coats and spendthriftiness 😁
@@-HRH la preuve que tu n es pas complètement trilingue apparemment. Désolée c est ma langue natale donc au bout d un moment je crois savoir ce que je dis . Une autre française a commenté la même chose il y quelques mois .... ^^ et moi aussi je connais bien la maison Lutens. Si on veut avoir un français précis lorsque qu on parle des ongles on dira « rognure » et non « pelure » . Bref ^^
Really just sweet orange juice with rind, clove and nutmeg. Yes the orange is a bit artificial but the rind prevents it from becoming too artificial. Can be very balanced between the orange and spices but sometimes my nose detects the spices as heavier than the orange.
@@Persolaise Oh is it? It's still available in Singapore. It's a less metallic and shrill Baptême du Feu without the scrumptiously sweaty animalic funk; less deep, complex and rich; more simple, linear, casual and more suitable for day time usage.
Cuando lo pruebas en el papel secante se vuelve verde,y tu cara es un poema 😂 bueno ya te diré cuando lo tenga en mis manos, yo por si acaso no lo pondré en camisa blanca!
Hi 🙂 can see you're well. Missed the live. Never seen this one before. Must say that I find the colour of this juice very offputting. It must stain clothes and I wouldn't want to spray all these artificial colourings on my skin. Pass
Just purchased this after watching your review - I’m really enjoying it, I probably would have blind bought on colour alone but a really beautiful fragrance / thank you.
Thank YOU for letting me know, and for watching.
Enjoy the perfume.

Oh gosh, I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for watching.
What a nice channel you have! Where have I been before... real pleasure to listen to you!
That’s too kind ☺️ Thank you so much for watching.

Veronique -- this is wonderful, thank you. It makes complete sense. And yes, cloves is correct.
Thanks for taking the time to do this.
(Big points for uniqueness!) I am compellingly attracted to this and feel a sense off-putting at the same time. (LOVE your description. Well done!)
Many thanks to you for watching.
Just received two samples of this and I am so surprised by how much I like it! Also love your orange blouse!
Thank you, Anan. Yes, I was very pleasantly surprised by it too.
Ahhh. Your humility is always endearing, eg. "for all I know it doesn't have a single original bone in its green body". (12.10) Visions of a Martian
😊
Oops, I meant cloves, a carnation smell alike. I would probably like it. 😉
It is quite clove-y. But also quite orange-y.
I tried this the other day and was so surprised by the scent. A bitter orange peel I didn't know I needed. 🌹
My sentiments exactly! :-)
I just found your channel & I subscribed. I bought this fragrance today after watching your video.
Excellent -- I hope you like it.

Yes, there’s a real sense of shock here. I do enjoy wearing it, though.

Ah, that's brilliant, thank you. I think the final meaning you offer is especially apt in this situation.
Thanks for watching.

I may be wrong, but I think it's been discontinued. A shame, really.

@@Persolaise And you should really review Dans Le Bleu Qui Pétille. Have you tried it? It's gorgeous 😊
Could it be a reference to pomander balls? Cloves stuck into the skin of orange?
Yes, I’m sure it is.
Many thanks for watching 😊
Only you could make "prison orange" look good.
Ha! Thank you... I think ;-)
Una pregunta has comprobado que ese color azul no manche la ropa??
Sorry -- I haven't carried out a proper test.

The fragrance is a surprise because it's the same colour as a toilet cleaner and yet it doesn't smell the part!
😂 My toilet cleaner is blue.
Thanks for watching.

Yes, I think many people will feel this way about the colour.
Thanks very much for watching 😊
