Serge Lutens is a fragrance house that has been delivering classics for decades. The fragrances are often moody, evocative and a little mysterious. There’s a certain introspective, almost cinematic quality to their perfumes that sets them apart from more conventional luxury brands. I have four in my collection – La Religieuse is a cool, haunting jasmine that feels a bit gothic and reserved. Fleurs d’Oranger smells like clean linens & sun-soaked orange blossom. Chergui wraps you in smoky honey and spiced hay, it's very comforting and reminds me of something I can't put my finger on. Féminité du Bois is a genderless classic, there's an interesting plum note amidst the powdery softness and woodsy depth. These scents aren’t necessarily crowd-pleasers, (I'd recommend smelling in person before making a purchase) but once you get your nose on them, they're hard to forget.
