Cuir mauresque

On leaving Andalucia, the Moors claimed they were leaving paradise behind. What they left behind was in fact an iconic fragrance, an elegant, sophisticated leather tanned on acacia bark, which takes us back to a past rich in conquests, culture and refinement.

"Back when the Moors occupied Cordoba, leather acquired a particular odor: animal hides were tanned using acacia bark." Serge Lutens

The design of this collection of signature perfumes by Serge Lutens is inspired by skyscrapers, taking us back to the New York skyline aesthetic of the 1920s and 30s. In a deep black colour lacquered to perfection and with edges as sharp as the tip of the Chrysler Building, this iconic bottle with influences of Art Deco ushers in a radical new modernity and a vertiginous style that towers over the rest.

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?

Leathery, smoky, amber, spicy notes

The primary essence of a Serge Lutens perfume does not reside in the assembly of a list of ingredients, but in an experience, a sensitivity. Doubts, anger, fragility, joy (also)... each of them represents a moment of ourselves. Discordering, torturing raw materials to make them confess, Serge Lutens has not made a profession of it but an art!

Serge Lutens favours the use of premium grade raw materials of natural origin to make its fragrances, driven by the conviction that these alone can ensure full and complex evolution of the perfume on the skin. To use, spray your chosen fragrance directly onto the skin and let it sit for a few minutes. This allows the composition to take on its full character and reveal its truest, most seductive form. Serge Lutens essences always end up confessing to their deeds!
