Un bois vanille, a sensual, radiant, and dry fragrance from Serge Lutens' Collection Noire.
Deep in the historic Mexico of the Aztecs, Serge Lutens follows in the footsteps of the conquistador Hernan Cortés into a forest where he discovered the most heavenly nectar of all: vanilla. A journey to the irresistibly woody scents of a forgotten civilization.

"Freud was quite right when he said: 'It is not evil, but good that gives rise to remorse.' Vanilla and the devil love black. Don't get sentimental here! In each of us, this tenderness is intensified and refined by a woody contrast." Serge Lutens

A perfume line created by Serge Lutens in his own image. Minimalist, straightforward, angular, and uncompromising, each of his bottles reflects the urgency and character of its creator with its absolute purity. A sobriety that underscores the richness and opulence of the fragrances, whose compositions and colors are as numerous and nuanced as jewels or our personalities.

For more than 20 years, perfumer Serge Lutens has been developing iconic genderless fragrance creations that refer to his personal memories: from "Féminité du bois" to "Ambre sultan" to "La fille de Berlin," each perfume tells its own unique poetic story. Perhaps yours too?

Serge Lutens perfumes are made from high-quality ingredients of natural origin, which allow the fragrances to unfold completely on the skin. To allow the composition to develop its full character and seductive form, it is recommended to apply the perfume directly to the skin or spray it on and let it work for a few minutes. Only with time do Serge Lutens fragrances reveal their full bouquet.

Serge Lutens fragrances can be applied in two ways:
Purists can opt for the round cap and dab the fragrance on with their fingers, while those who prefer a quicker application can choose the spray format.
