Serge Lutens Perfume

Looking to buy Serge Lutens Perfume?

Just as comfortable finding the best way to present the clothes of others as designing his own, style superstar Serge Lutens is a true fashion polymath. An award-winning filmmaker, clothes designer, hair stylist, photographer and (of course) perfumer, Lutens is a true icon of French haute couture design, and the range of women's fragrances is just as exceptional as the man himself!

There are so many fashion houses bearing the names of famous designers out there, but few are as involved in the process as Serge Lutens is. Along with collaborations with other expert perfumers, Lutens has created many of the perfumes you see in this category, and they have been adored by critics. Lutens has received two prestigious FiFi awards, the ‘Oscars of the fragrance industry’, awarded by The Fragrance Foundation for excellence in perfumery. When you wear a Serge Lutens perfume, some of that prestige is bound to wear off on you.

Serge Lutens perfume: Unisex but not uniform

One of the most characteristic aspects of Serge Lutens perfume for women is that they can be worn by men as well! Rather than keeping their men's aftershaves and women's perfumes separate, Serge Lutens focuses on unisex perfumes. The unisex perfumes of mainstream brands tend to follow in the footsteps of Calvin Klein One - that is, fresh, citrusy and clean. While that's true for some Serge Lutens creations, like the delicate white floral Un Lys, Serge Lutens unisex perfumes use the whole scent wheel to create their fragrances.

One example of this is the delightful amber woody fragrance Feminité du Bois (Femininity of the Wood). This Serge Lutens fragrance combines strong notes of cinnamon, stewed plum, peach and cedar wood to create an intoxicatingly boozy perfume that's ideal for winter.

Serge Lutens fragrances for women: Intriguing experiments

The other thing that Serge Lutens are famous for is their experiments with bold and unusual scents. One whiff of their La Vierge de Fer proves that beyond a doubt. The primary aroma this perfume employs is lily, a spicy floral note that would normally be accompanied by citrus or green notes. Instead, Serge Lutens' perfumers add something wholly unexpected.

Unless you read French, of course. If you do, the perfume's title (which translates to 'The Iron Maiden') may have given its secret away. Yes, the mystery ingredient is a silvery metallic note that provides an uplifting sense of clarity through the transition into an incense and sandalwood base. Luxurious and intimate, traditional yet daring - that’s the spirit of Serge Lutens, and its well represented in the diverse range you can buy in this OnBuy category!
