Chergui is a portrait in scent of the lovely island of Chergui, off the coast of Tunisia. The glamorous name also refers to the blistering heat of the summer desert wind from the south that sweeps Morocco from the Sahara; the two derivations of the title may be complementary. Crossing all boundaries of gender and culture, Chergui is a spicy oriental dream which has been rapturously described as the smell of sugar, the scent of hay, the fragrance of sweet woodsmoke.

Serge Lutens is an iconic figure in the world of perfume, coiffure, cosmetics, photography and style. Now, tireless and still revolutionary at nearly 80, he has dominated the world of cutting edge fashion since the 1960s. These were the heady days when he took Vogue magazine by storm and created maquillage for Christian Dior; then later for Shiseido. In 2000 he launched his own luxury perfume line which revolutionised the concept of niche perfumery.
Modest, enigmatic, elusive Serge has lived for decades in Marrakech, city of his inspirations and obsessions.
