About Serge Lutens Dent De Lait EDP
Dent De Lait EDP comes from Serge Lutens. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Dent De Lait longevity
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Profumum Roma Dolce Acqua and Tesori d'Oriente Byzantium unisex last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like almond and ash are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. It spreads further than Jeanne Arthes Macaron Amande.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €180. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Jeanne Arthes Macaron Amande but less than Profumum Roma Dolce Acqua and Creed Delphinus.
Dent De Lait for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its gourmand side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Jeanne Arthes Macaron Amande is a lighter match.
Other Serge Lutens perfumes
The house has 48 perfumes here, led by Ecrin De Fumee, De Profundis unisex and Un Bois Vanille.
