Daim Blond
Daim Blond by Serge Lutens is an unisex eau de parfum from 2004 in the niche price tier. It opens with apricot and iris, moves into suede, cardamom and musk and dries down to heliotrope, amber and white musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Apricot Warm, jammy stone fruit. Often hiding inside osmanthus.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Heart
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Dry-down
- Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
