Serge Lutens Fragrances stories

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.

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 In one fell swoop, she overturns the outdated image of the sweet, corseted Parisian belle, with her Eiffel Tower and other such clichés!

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.

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.

"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.

"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.
