If you want a Fragrance to Bring out your Inner Rebel This is It.

I just spritzed away grandly, expecting great things of the first S.L. I've ever sniffed, and then wandered around for a bit wondering "Is this it? Pencil shavings?" Yup. Pencil shavings.
It's actually nice, in that bright, woody "walking in a pine forest" kind of way, but Polo, Tsar & Giorgio Red for Men do that better.
Not at all what I was expecting and none of the suede or leather I was looking forward to. Darn it.

For my own part, I never met a Serge Lutens fragrance I didn't like--until I met Daim Blond. I don't doubt the rapturous responses of the other posters in the least, but on me this fragrance comes on sour, metallic, and a wee bit skanky. I get no apricot, no heliotrope--but I do get something vaguely (and I do mean vaguely) leather-like. I think Alona makes a good point about the odd smell, though I'm not sure I'd define it as oud. It does, however, have an unpleasant trait that I also detect in Montale fragrances. In fact, the "odd smell" I discerned was strongly medicinal--something like Neosporin. At any rate, it's far from charming.
Conclusion: The scent is very linear; it didn't really develop much on me, but it had rather low silage and faded rather quickly--thank God. If I want a leather scent, I'll stick to something as lovely as Hermes Kelly Caleche or, even better, Caron Tabac Blond.


I am still not an expert on the "leather" or "suede" notes, but I love Daim Blond. The scent's opening is spicy on my skin (it is the cardamom that I liked when I first smelled it, as I found out later). It was spicy and slightly bitter. The suede could be felt almost immediately, and it stays throughout the phases of the composition, but it mellows down significantly, along with the spices, over the hours.
I don't find apricot jam here. The middle and final notes of the composition remind me of the fruit itself, with its tender velvety skin. It also reminds me of the kernel of the fruit. There is an apricot tree at my parents' house, and I have occasionally opened the stone of the fruit to get to the tiny, aromatic, bitter part inside it. This is what the slight bitterness of the perfume is reminiscent of.
Daim Blond, like a typical Lutens, stays close to the skin. It is sophisticated, but in a "cool" , not "in-your-face" way. It projects the type of luxury that doesn't need to prove itself to anybody. It's interesting that Mellybee has mentioned gloves. In fact, while I was testing Daim Blond, I was re-reading Anna Karenina, and I imagined how her soft and elegant gloves might have smelled as she was watching Vronsky's horse-racing competition. That doesn't mean that Daim Blond is a romantic scent, or that it is not a modern fragrance. It can fit the confident style of the corporate world today perfectly.

Daim Blond comes off with an apricot jam smell, the home-made apricot jam my mother used to conserve every year. As the leather arrives it brings along some smokiness. This leather is not that raw dry dirty mainly masculin monster but a truly feminine gentle fairy. Rather suide than leather. A pair of suide gloves. The spotted back of a fawn.
The smoky sweetness remains in the end and turns into a cozy chypre with obvious musk underlining it.
Highly recommended as an entrance into the world of leather fragrances.



The creamy start is beautiful and I almost fell in love though.

I was rather wondering if there was pear or some other fruit in it, because it is so very fruity fragrance to me and on the sweet side as well, but with some strange freshness. I don't know why recently so many fragrances have reminded me punch drink, but this luxury frag reminds it as well, though in the best and most elegant way: you would rather get drunk wearing this to refined coctail party than some pub:))
The staying power can't be called legendary, my Chanels holds longer, and Daim Blond would simply 'bite the dust' from Piquet's Fracas longevity.


Its hard to imagine this scent on a women because it is rather masculine. Its a really great Parfume and you can even imagine the blond leather but for me its a bit to pungent.
07 out of 10 Points.

Kind of naughty and nice at the same time. Set me in a mood of sensuality and my husband think it is really sexy. A lot of leather fragrances are a bit masculine or at least androgyn, not this one, this is a pure feminine leather fragrance.
Like it a lot, but not love it. Mostly because it fade away on me really fast, for a perfume of this price I think it is fair to expect longer staying power than about a couple of hours. After 3 hours i hardly notice it any more.
