Daim Blond
feminine
Created by Christopher Sheldrake
Daim Blond by Serge Lutens is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women and men. Daim Blond was launched in 2004. The nose behind this fragrance is Christopher Sheldrake. Serge Lutens likes to use unusual and rare materials in his aromatic bouquets, each of them being a masterpiece. Daim Blond means ‘white suede’. The title announces a fragrancy pleasure, which is very intensive, since it contains 20% of real perfume juice, unlike ordinary perfume waters which contain 15%. This is a delicate interpretation of leather fragrances: spicy, musky, creamy… The top notes contain hawthorn, Ceylon cardamom; the heart includes iris, apricot kernel, while the base encompasses musk, heliotrope and leather. The fragrance is appropriate for men and women. The perfume was created by Christopher Sheldrake in 2004.
