   I actually like this perfume enough to drop $910A on it, although I’m hoping someone in the USA or UK can steer me where to find it cheaper! Please PM me…… 🙂
   A real compliment getter!

   Renard Constrictor is mainly a grape-y, indolic jasmine on my skin. During the opening, the grape aspect is more juicy and vivid, while the indole gives out a mentholated aroma. But overall, the fragrance is quite restrained: the grape aspect doesn’t make me think of toothache-inducing fruity hard candy; the indole is nowhere near in A La Nuit or even La Religieuse, and Renard Constrictor feels warmer in tone than the former two.
   With time, the redolence of jasmine becomes drier in texture, and gives out a dried fruit/dried fruit peel feeling. A powdery musk also emerges from underneath. It’s not the dirty, animalic kind, but not exactly laundry-like, either. Together with the gentle sweetness of jasmine, this fluffy floral musk makes a comforting, warm skin scent, reminiscent of the texture of animal fur.
   The sillage of Renard Constrictor is quite close to skin, and the longevity is around 8 hours.
   Being the fourth fragrance in the house featuring prominent jasmine, Renard Constrictor is much less indolic than the glorious A La Nuit, warmer than La Religieuse. As for Sarrasins, the unctuous musk and voluptuous jasmine engage in a mysterious battle, while in Renard Constrictor, the gentle musk is more like a supporting role to an equally cute jasmine.
   I thoroughly enjoyed Renard Constrictor, especially its mentholated indole, albeit rather mild, and its tender, cozy musk. But as pleasant as it is, I’d still hesitate to recommend it, simply because there are so many great jasmine fragrances on the market, and most are within a much more reasonable price range.

   A plush white floral that’s mainly orange blossom over a lactonic tuberose that wears tastefully light, yet is spun full-bodied and cozy through a nifty use of resins. There’s a throwback elegance to it — mostly because it’s not blaring off the skin — but it’s still hoofing it down hackneyed paths. Pleasant and surprisingly subtle, but wholly unoriginal and redundant. It smells more like an extravagant lotion than a perfume. Friendly enough, but not worth a fraction of the asking price and not even remotely on par with past Serge releases.

   Renard constrictor is the grand feminine of Lutens new super exclusive “gold line”. I see it as a modern take on vintage fur perfumes such as vintage Weil Zibeline and Caron En Avion, basically a grand floral bouquet with narcotic sweetness of rose, neroli, jasmine, carnation and lascivious warm musks and amber. If Cracheuse de flammes is wonderfully more dramatic and enigmatic, Renard Constrictor is a magnificent, sensual, seductive and luxurious perfume. This one goes on my wish list for the holiday season, this is going to be a fabulous winter staple. Perfumistas who wanted to like Muscs Koublai Khan but thought it was very one note, linear and quite frankly hard to wear and others who love Fleurs d’oranger / Nuit de cellophane but are looking for a more opulent, intoxicating and sophisticated alternative will fall in love with this perfume.
   I can already see myself this winter wearing Lutens Renard with my spectacular Carven faux-fur coat and 2.55 Chanel bag! On a more serious note, I feel this is exactly what an insanely gorgeous woman’s perfume should smell like in 2015.
