When I was starting out on my fragrance collecting journey, every frag reviewer - and there was just a handful pre 2010 - had chergui in his top 10. But nobody is mentioning it - and the house of lutens - anymore. Glad to see an old favorite getting much deserved love again.
It IS a gorgeous fragrance. I am a fan of Orientals to begin with so falling into Chergui was easy for me. YES the details are where it shines. It has a great attitude, true. Very saucy sexy French joie de vivre that conquers the senses. Childhood memories pop up all the time for me in fragrances. The good ones for the most part. My latest review as flooded with childhood memories of the hill fires in Southern California. Wonderful review Chris. Bravo. (827 subs... Yee Haw your channel if on fire) loved the hay and elevator effect!
Falling into Chergui. What a lovely way to put it and that's exactly what happens with this fragrance. I'm super pleased with how my channel is progressing. 1k is a milestone that once seemed so distant but now I can smell it! I think I'll share a glass of champagne with all my viewers once I get there. Right I'm off to watch your video so you'll hear from me again in jiffy! Ciao for now!
This was a total blind buy for me. At first, I didn't really care for this but I must tell you that this grew on me and I love it now! It is especially great for the cooler months. To me, It's a beautiful, mature, classy fragrance.
I have never smelled such an irresistible fragrance like Chergui ❤ Chergui is best fragrance in the world , no doubt ! It has this pithy special incomparable Tunisian fragrance of aesthetic charm that you can only smell in the heart of North Africa .. a fragrance that appeals to all senses ❤ try it and you will fall in love with chergui ❤
this is the first time for me to give it a shot! And actually i'm not quite sure what is the tobacco scent, but i do get the smell of honey. What is lovely is that the smell of chergui reminds me of the film 'DUNE', the desert planet and the spice, the hot wind blowing up the sand. Just like a brainstorming！
I absolutely love this scent ! Love at first sniff !! Even better than Aramis Tobacco Reserve! Not that expensive even if you’re looking for the vintage bottle.
I just ordered a decant of this... my favorite frags are tobacco based... Mancera Red Tobacco, Zaharoff Signature Tobac, Initio Side Effect, Replica Jazz Club... and so on... very excited to test this one
Love your video! Already loved Chergui (it is beautiful, no?) But, loving Chergui aside. LOVE LOVE your outtakes, as much as the video! Also, want to say that my husband hates perfumes, I love them and we're still not in divorce court, but he will actually wear Chergui when I wear it out, we're actually a matching team. Both of us have a light hand when wearing but you walk by our table and you smell Chergui, people have given us so many compliments. Now, I'm going to have to see ALL your reviews on you tube, I just found this when I googled Chergui for a repurchase. Thumbs up. You...are just haywire, LOL LOL
Just received a decant after years of curiosity. This invoked a scent memory for me too, although I’m not exactly sure of what specifically. Something intensely familiar, something comforting and warm. I just might need a full bottle
This is a really nice scent from start to finish. The hay aspect is by far the strongest note in the scent with honey sweetness and tobacco right behind. I love this in the fall and winter for sure. Nice review sir.
ENTERTAINMENT + KNOWLEDGE! perfect video again bro! ghosh m telling u , u jumped in review world lil late ! i dnt see anybody make fun videos like u! gonna share this one on my fb! :D about frag i dnt like much of chergui i smelled it n felt like its lil feminine!
Oh wow thanks brother! Obviously shares are very much appreciated! Yes I know what you mean, it's definitely right in the middle of 'unisex' so depending on personal preference could lean either way. Thanks so much for all your support and positivity 😃👍
HAY man, awesome one, loved the outtakes. Your stuff keeps getting better and better. Have to try this one, despite the name of the dude...Serge, who would call his son that, go figure. PP has this one, maybe in the next haul I'll give it a go. Meanwhile keep up the stellar reviews my brother.
Sérgio thanks. Hay your humour is also getting better and better 😂 BTW I posted your IA stuff last week. We have restrictions on perfume when sending out of the UK so apologies if it doesn't reach you. I'll be sniffing all the customs officials next time I fly to see if any are reeking of O'Unknown!
I had a bunch of SL frags but I missed this one this one really works for me great note list PERFECTLY BLENDED/BALANCED this review is spot on HAY? maybe thats why I cant quite put my finger on it big thank you for this one JIM from MIAMI BEACH
I turn the subtitle on and it’s like “if u want to buy Shaggy”... couldn’t stop laughing. Haven’t smelled it yet but I bought one as a gift to somebody, hopes he’ll like it
Thanks for the review! Went to try Back to Black but was really disappointed, for me it was all about honey, and I mean Milk&Honey handwash =\ now quite intrigued to try Chergui if honey is not so strong in this one.
FRAG-MENTAL Interesting, thanks for the swift reply! I am heading to Selfridges next week and plan to test them both alongside Carslile, Habdan & Oajan from PDM, Feve Delicieuse and Enigma.
A great question! The oils are slightly higher concentration and will last longer on the skin but don't project as much as there is no ethanol evaporation. The sprays are a touch more diluted but contain ethanol which evaporates to give you a bigger scent bubble. Layer both for the ultimate combo of longevity and projection!
I second that and why did he forget to talk about those 2 very important details....focus on the details for your reviewers man and not the fckn hay 🤦♂️🤣
I own the old formulation of Chergui and have tried and tried to like it but I just can't. Ugh. To my nose it is a vanilla harsh chemical synthetic smell like a cleaner maybe some rotten leather and CINNAMON.
So I now believe. House of Lancaster I believe but one who has deserted to the house of York. One thing though, who would win in a fight? Who would be victorious? The reds or the whites? Always the whites ;-)
I believe you did a fantastic job reviewing this scent from Hay to Z & I loved it . Well done 👍
Oh dear I've invited everyone to start making jokes as bad as mine 😜

Yes Chergui is a timeless classic and always deserves exposure.
Try this in the summer, it just works for me. Gorgeous stuff

You nailed it, Michael!

It’s a work of art. People say it smells feminine , on my skin it’s quite masculine and everyone who’s smelled it agrees
At first, I didn't know how to feel about this fragrance. However, after wearing it multiples times, I love it. It's an amazing fragrance.
Agreed. It's quite complex and sometimes busy fragrances might not be love at first sniff. Chergui is so well balanced and elegant.
I have never smelled such an irresistible fragrance like Chergui ❤ Chergui is best fragrance in the world , no doubt ! It has this pithy special incomparable Tunisian fragrance of aesthetic charm that you can only smell in the heart of North Africa .. a fragrance that appeals to all senses ❤ try it and you will fall in love with chergui ❤
Yes it's a bit of a masterpiece this one!
Oh yeah it is ❤
chergui is something very special ... simply incomparable ❤

I hope you have Herod from PDM....one of the best tobacco scents imo
Great Video! 😀
I did a Review in German about that amazing fragrance 😍 best one from Serge in my opinion!🥳
Thanks Angelina. Chergui is greatly loved and classed by many as a masterpiece. I appreciate you taking the time to watch🙏

Totally agree with u.....love chergui.....one that'll always be in my collection...
Yes she's a beaut! I find it distinctive and unique. Simply a pleasure to wear.
I love Chergui too ❤
Just received a decant after years of curiosity. This invoked a scent memory for me too, although I’m not exactly sure of what specifically. Something intensely familiar, something comforting and warm. I just might need a full bottle
Great great review brother! It's awesome to hear your scent memory with this fragrance! Thanks for sharing brother!
Thanks Mr. S. Always awesome to see your cheeky face pop up in my comments 😁
This is a really nice scent from start to finish. The hay aspect is by far the strongest note in the scent with honey sweetness and tobacco right behind. I love this in the fall and winter for sure. Nice review sir.
Hey Joey. Yes it's a gorgeous scent and you're right, perfect for colder months. It's also quite unique and distinctive. Thanks for watching 👍
Im thinking of buying it online , do u think it suits women ??
Already ordered a decant of this... it’d be bloody fun to have a signature fragrance of my name “Sergio “ = Serge 😛 . We shall see :)
Haha man your video editing is just a spot on!!! Great and laidback review of a real sophisticated gem of a fragrance.
Keep up the good work :-)
Hey thanks Julian. If it entertained and gave some info then...job done! 👍
For me reviews don’t get much better than this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻think jf better start looking over his shoulder my friend 🤥😜👍
Wow! Thanks mate! I love your positivity Nigel. Lol I think Mr. F is safe for a little while yet! Oh and well done for commenting before Mr. Sillage 😂
ENTERTAINMENT + KNOWLEDGE! perfect video again bro! ghosh m telling u , u jumped in review world lil late ! i dnt see anybody make fun videos like u! gonna share this one on my fb! :D about frag i dnt like much of chergui i smelled it n felt like its lil feminine!

Awesome review and video as always! Thanks
Another great winter scent Chris! You should get your nose under TF noir extreme, you’ll love it
Thanks Ashish! Yes I definitely intend to do just that at some point soon 👍
I NEEDTO BUY THIS NEW 100ML VERSION AND IF YOU KNOW THAT VERSION,IS THIS GOOD?OR REFORMULATION KIKKED THIS FRAGRANCE?
Thank you for posting this helpful review. I love the fragrance.
HAY man, awesome one, loved the outtakes. Your stuff keeps getting better and better. Have to try this one, despite the name of the dude...Serge, who would call his son that, go figure. PP has this one, maybe in the next haul I'll give it a go. Meanwhile keep up the stellar reviews my brother.
Sérgio thanks. Hay your humour is also getting better and better 😂 BTW I posted your IA stuff last week. We have restrictions on perfume when sending out of the UK so apologies if it doesn't reach you. I'll be sniffing all the customs officials next time I fly to see if any are reeking of O'Unknown!
Love the review! How does it compare to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille? Thanks 🙏
Very different. Chergui is more classical and elegant with more subtlety than TV.
@@FRAGMENTAL thank you for replying! So I think it will be a sabe blind buy for me since I love TV. Love your reviews. Thanks 🙏
I had a bunch of SL frags but I missed this one this one really works for me great note list PERFECTLY BLENDED/BALANCED this review is spot on HAY? maybe thats why I cant quite put my finger on it big thank you for this one JIM from MIAMI BEACH
Thanks Jim. I'll be wearing this a lot through Fall and Winter!
LMAO at the hay puns. Thank you for this feel-good review. Love this scent!!
I turn the subtitle on and it’s like “if u want to buy Shaggy”... couldn’t stop laughing. Haven’t smelled it yet but I bought one as a gift to somebody, hopes he’ll like it
Haha that's funny!
I would like but I hate honey in scents, and I'm worried that it will get nausing for my nose
Great video. I 🧡 SL Chergui! My other SL ❤️ is Datura Noir!
Great rebiew,l just purchased mine on Amazon but mine had the round top.
FragranceNet has an after pay option so you can pay a quarter of the price every 2 weeks for until it’s paid off.
Thanks for the review! Went to try Back to Black but was really disappointed, for me it was all about honey, and I mean Milk&Honey handwash =\ now quite intrigued to try Chergui if honey is not so strong in this one.
Yes Back to Black gives you a BIG honey hit. I like how it plays off the tobacco. But yes, Chergui definitely dials the honey down.
I was waiting for a review about it ✌🏻✌🏻
I hope it was the review you were waiting for 😄
FRAG-MENTAL sure, good review, good luck
Can anyone please advise how this compares to TF Noir De Noir? I cannot decide between the two :(
Haywire lol! Took me a second but that pretty funny. Great video!
Ha yeh I can't resist a Dad joke now and then! Thanks Timmy, glad you liked it 👍
A great video bro!! will check this out!!
Dear Pls answer me???!!!
Is that smells like a TF-Tobbaco Vanille?
When i smelled it,it was awful!
No it's different to Tobacco Vanille
If you had to pick only one out of this and Tobacco Vanille, which would you choose?
Very tough choice but I think I'd go with Tobacco Vanille
FRAG-MENTAL Interesting, thanks for the swift reply! I am heading to Selfridges next week and plan to test them both alongside Carslile, Habdan & Oajan from PDM, Feve Delicieuse and Enigma.
Off topic but is there a difference between PP's oils and sprays? Great vids!
A great question! The oils are slightly higher concentration and will last longer on the skin but don't project as much as there is no ethanol evaporation. The sprays are a touch more diluted but contain ethanol which evaporates to give you a bigger scent bubble. Layer both for the ultimate combo of longevity and projection!
Nice presentation for a great fragrance. Good review..keep on the great job..
Dimitris thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend 😃
Another top review/video 👍
Thank you very much 😃👍
I just got a decant and it’s not brown in colour. Is 2019 formulation still brown? Cheers
Sorry Dave I'm not sure of 2019 colouration.
FRAG-MENTAL ok. Cheers 👍🏻
Has this been reformulated (re the new label style I've seen) ?.... Thanks
Yes it has
@@FRAGMENTAL Has this new version been reviewed / compared?
lol An excellent fragrance, for sho. Sometimes reminds me of Rooibos tea. But I wonder, how does the Perfume Parlour version compare?
Yes I wonder that too! Future review I reckon!
Longevity and projection ?
How's the longevity and projection mate?
I second that and why did he forget to talk about those 2 very important details....focus on the details for your reviewers man and not the fckn hay 🤦♂️🤣
Cherqui, didn't do the trick per all the hype. Any perfume parlour recommendations for Profumum R, Amouage or (not Creed / TF)?
Hi MacMen, I'm afraid I've not yet explored the PP versions of these houses yet.
Whats your take on Floris Honey Oud?
I've not tried it but looking at the notes I think I'd love it.
Floris is beautiful, it's a honey bomb!
I own the old formulation of Chergui and have tried and tried to like it but I just can't. Ugh. To my nose it is a vanilla harsh chemical synthetic smell like a cleaner maybe some rotten leather and CINNAMON.
Hi Gina, that's a shame! Smell is so subjective and I'm sure you have plenty that you do really love.
I love english humour. Only fools and horses. Lovely gobley.
Cool,you look like young Robert Patrick
I am actually a T-1000
You pronounced Serge Lutens wrong. It’s Sehrj Looh - Tahns.
My apologies
FRAG-MENTAL 😊
@@skinnywhalelegend From this point forth I will now be pronouncing it correctly. Thanks 👍
Sounds like hay fever!🤪
1.09.... me to maannnn.
SHEGGY
So, another sexy Yorkshireman reviewer, and, an actor who loves to roll about in the hay? I'll have to bare that one in mind.
r
Don't ask what that (r) is, where did that come from.
Haha thanks...I think 👍
He's Red 🌹 not White Rose! 😆
So I now believe. House of Lancaster I believe but one who has deserted to the house of York. One thing though, who would win in a fight? Who would be victorious? The reds or the whites? Always the whites ;-)
Longevity and projection ?
