Vétiver Oriental

Serge Lutens dislikes the harsh odours of Cologne and everything else associated with men’s toiletries, so he turned to the enigmatic roots of vetiver – like petrified witch’s hair – to find a warm silky scent. A velvetysmooth oriental! "I've always yearned for change. When I was a child, I wanted to change my family, my friends and eventually my country. Not to mention my sex. Everything, even this vetiver, which here enjoys a lascivious plunge into Oriental velvet, a nice change from being an ingredient in cologne. Vetiver is featured as a scent in its own right, redolent of cistus with tarlike notes, as viscous as wax!"Serge Lutens A perfume line created by Serge Lutens in his own image. Minimalist, straight lined, angular and uncompromising, each of these bottles with their refined style reflects the exacting nature and character of their creator. A sobriety which enhances the richness and sumptuousness of the perfumes, whose scents and colours are as numerous and as nuanced as precious stones and our personalities. In his now iconic olfactory creations, the perfumer Serge Lutens has for over 20 years been producing strong alcohols with Proustian accents. From “Féminité du bois”, to “Ambre sultan” and “La fille de Berlin”, each perfume tells their own exceptional story and has their own unique signature. Perhaps even yours?
