Serge Lutens Fragrances stories

Collection noire « The Emblematics » - The new fragrance Le Perce-vent

The image that comes to mind is the breathtaking eye of the cyclone: the still centre at which it is possible to shelter from the terrifying winds produced by its monstrous suction.

Unlike those caught in the turbulent waltz of this boa constrictor, Le perce-vent will not be gone with the wind!

Serge Lutens

Collection noire « The Emblematics » - La fille tour de fer

No matter what the famous song says, with her, Paris will never just be Paris! 

In one fell swoop, she overturns the outdated image of the sweet, corseted Parisian belle, with her Eiffel Tower and other such clichés!

Collection noire « The Emblematics » - Un bois vanille

Deep within Aztec Mexico, Serge Lutens leads us in the footsteps of the conquistador Hernán Cortés and his discovery of the most heavenly nectar, vanilla. A delicious, wood-scented journey to the heart of a forgotten civilization.

Collection noire « The Emblematics » - Nuit de cellophane

The spirit of Parisian haute couture, its ethereal and dreamlike world, is incarnated in this glimpse through a translucent cellophane veil, in a night suffused with the cooling fragrance of mandarin and osmanthus.

Collection noire « The emblematics » - L’orpheline

The mystique of frankincense; in L’orpheline, the many shades of grey symbolise her break with the past and the stripping away of the layers of the fine dust which veil her memories.

Collection noire « The Emblematics » - Poivre noir

A manifesto in black and white, an uncompromising blueprint, Poivre noir makes concessions to no one. Dry, noble, and spicy, it is the embodiment of sheer elegance.

Collection noire « The Emblematics » - the new fragrance Ecrin de fumée

Infused with the sweet and sensual scent of tobacco, this is a poetic ode to those who burn life at both ends.

To those for whom excess is a way of life, who love celebrating the pleasures of living in the most opulent luxury. To those who know that time flies so fast that life must be lived intensely and celebrated to the hilt.

Living dangerously has its limits, and disenchantment is inevitable. When the party ends and the smokescreen falls, lost illusions resurface. A tragic and fascinating reality check.

Collection Matin Lutens - Dans le bleu qui pétille

"First your hands, then your arms, and finally the head, close your eyes and take a deep dive! "

A dive into the heart of the ocean, sea salt crystallising on the skin in the sunshine... In the sparkling blue, the smell of salt and iodine on skin warmed by the sun. An inimitable, fresh, sensual fragrance.

Collection Matin Lutens - Parole d'eau

"Colourless and odourless by definition, yet an eau can conceal a deep and discreet fragrance..."

An original, modern composition which puts an end to the myth of odourless water. A fragrance which embodies a return to true deep waters. An immersion in pure water.

Collection Matin Lutens - L'eau

The freshness of an eau, the crispness of freshly ironed sheets, a pillowcase on which to dream… L’Eau Serge Lutens invites us to renew our connection with a world where true luxury is embodied above all in cleanliness. Definitive and radical, going far beyond the idea of perfume as a hygienic and social mannerism.

Collection noire "The Emblematics" - Fleurs d'oranger

Fleurs d’oranger Is the happy memory of Serge Lutens' arrival in Morocco in 1968, the shock to the senses of his first encounter with the amazing aromas and his wonderment at “the women who were hitting the orange blossom trees with a stick and collecting the falling white blossom in large white sheets”. Unquestionably the scent of happiness!

Collection noire "The Emblematics" - La fille de Berlin

A city, a history, an experience… nothing less is required to evoke a woman whose beauty renders her as notorious as her thorny character. Strong willed, explosive – one thing is certain: she will never allow herself to be taken for a ride!

Collection noire "The Emblematics" - Féminité du bois

A confection of cedar wood inspired by the warm, honeyed scents emanating from the covered stalls selling leatherwork in Morocco. This was Serge Lutens’ first unisex perfume, the olfactory revolution of the 1990s !

Collection noire "The Emblematics" - Chergui

Where this hot dry Eastern wind delivers up its final reward - sap, resin and elixir – to be orchestrated into a redolent, candied fragrance by the alchemist, Serge Lutens.

Collection noire "The Emblematics" - Ambre sultan

Evoking a fragment of amber resin picked up by Serge Lutens during a wander through the souks of Marrakech, which lay forgotten for years inside a thuja wood box, this perfume marks a return to a focus on the identity and authenticity of unique ingredients.
