Chêne
A deep, woody-spicy Serge Lutens composition that feels like polished oak and leather soaked in rum. Dense yet smooth, it opens with sharp spice, settles into dark woods and a slightly boozy warmth, and wears like a quiet, introspective cloak on cool evenings.

Scent Development and Character
A dark, woody-spicy eau de parfum built around abstract woody notes, wrapped in leathery warmth and alcoholic rum facets, with prickly spice adding lift to the dense structure.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Best suited to cool to cold weather, especially autumn and winter evenings, in contemplative or dressed-up settings; its dark, woody-leathery character leans more formal than casual but can anchor a personal signature for woody scent lovers. Most suitable for autumn and winter; can work in early spring in cooler climates but tends to feel too dense for hot summer weather. Sillage is Moderate to strong sillage that forms a noticeable aura without feeling overwhelming when applied with care. Longevity is Long-lasting for most wearers, often remaining noticeable for 8–10 hours on skin.

Released in 2004, this is presented as Eau de Parfum and credited to Undisclosed. Rectangular, straight-sided Serge Lutens glass bottle with minimalist label and dark juice, in the brand’s standard spray presentation for the export collection.
