Serge Lutens discovered Morocco in 1968, then joined Shiseido in 1980 to build its international image. After creating Féminité du bois and opening the Salons du Palais Royal in 1992, he launched his own brand in 2000 with the support of the Japanese group. Shiseido acquired the registered Serge Lutens trademark in 2015.
The house creates a narrative approach to perfumery, nourished by memories, travels and imagery. Serge Lutens works with perfumers such as Christopher Sheldrake to showcase resins, woods, flowers and spices. Its black bottles, understated caps and bell-shaped cases extend this theatrical universe.
Right now at Fragsplit, 1 Serge Lutens fragrance is available as a 1 to 10 ml decant: Chergui.
