Okay, so having tried L'incendiare last year and having been disappointed, I wasn't even sure this Gold collection had been released. This is the only one I have sampled and I have to start with the positives. To me the quality is evident, it's a rich and complex smelling perfume but I'm afraid that is where the positivity ends. The main issue I have with this is price but we'll get on to that in a moment. The composition is just strange, the opening smells like a sharp, resinous brew of amber and spices, which has some odd floral tones peaking through, on a bed of sandalwood and milky vanilla. I would definitely revisit this fragrance because it peaked my interest but for a fragrance with so many elements I usually like something was strangely 'off', unnerving and almost creepy about L'Haleine des Dieux. From this first sampling I can't say I particularly like it. Then there's the price! Serge Lutens while not being the cheapest fragrances are very well priced for the 50mls you get. This Gold collection has my jaw hitting the floor and this one in particular is the most expensive at a whopping...£535 for 50mls!!!! Serge my man... you are taking the piss! I don't care if you milked a rare orchid on a remote cliff top, or it contains angel hair, baby's breath, unicorn jizz...whatever? The price is a rip off and I'm someone who has and does buy niche fragrances but enough is enough!
