Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule is built around a creamy note of sandalwood, which smells of warm milk and dried roses. Sandalwood is a striking perfume note full of contrasts, and Lutens, in collaboration with perfumer Christopher Sheldrake, treats it as both a wood and a flower.

Santal Majuscule unfolds on the skin in layers of crimson roses, lightly dusted with chocolate. As the roses soften over time, the sandalwood takes over. What started out as another Arabian Night fantasy now feels tender and serene, a caressing cashmere wrap. The classical slender rectangular bottle has an understated elegance. Its simplicity belies the intricate fragrance it contains -- a dream in a bottle.

Un Bois Sépia

"This fragrance, just like falling leaves, evokes the colors of autumn."

"More than a shade, sepia is the scent of moss and dead leaves that one only finds in the woods. As for the autumn sun, it often coincides with rain. Maybe my story should even include a scene about finding mushrooms. In a word, it's a fabulous chypre! "

Vétiver 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 tar-like notes, as viscous as wax!"

Serge Lutens

Now weary of the tongue’s games which have for weeks on end been loosening its tooth, a young wolf is anxious to move from milk to blood.
