Serge Lutens - Écrin de fumée in general

Écrin de fumée (meaning smoke box), is a dark, boozy fragrance built around layers of chocolate. From cognac soaked truffle to cocoa ash. Rum and tobacco add a smouldering warmth, while woody notes ground the composition in classic Lutens style. Rich, mysterious and unapologetically intense. It's a strong recommendation to people drawn to smoky gourmands rather than sweet, straightforward ones.

The Fragrance Folio's take on Serge Lutens - Écrin de fumée

I would imagine this is what a demon would wear if they were trying to seduce someone. This might turn some people away from it but I find it a perfect combination. This perfume is dark, smoky and woody but supported by the sweetness from the cocoa and booze. It is a perfect mix of dangerous and seductive. From a distance it's sweet enough to lean close, then the smokiness hits you in the face.
