- Douce Amere
- Susanne Lang Parfum
- Pacifica Malibu Lemon Blossom solid perfume
About the Fragrances
À la Nuit and Douce Amère both come from Serge Lutens. À la Nuit is a rich, full-on jasmine, while Douce Amère (“bittersweet”) plays the green bite of absinthe against a softer, sweeter heart. Susanne Lang Parfum is an independent line, and the Pacifica solid is an easy, affordable lemon blossom scent made for touch-ups on the go.
Wearing It Yourself
With a list this varied, sample the Lutens pair first and give each a full wearing on skin, since both change a great deal between the first spray and the final hours. Keep notes on which stage you enjoy most. Alanis Morissette’s choices can widen your map of what you like, but only your own skin can tell you which one belongs to you.
Why it matters
A favorites list that mixes niche icons with everyday picks shows how people really wear fragrance: one for the occasion, another for the handbag. Use it to think about the different roles scent could play in your own day.
