Écrin de Fumée by Serge Lutens joins a line of fragrances that already gathers multiple unisex compositions.

Serge Lutens asks the question the better to draw us into his web.

Écrin de Fumée, the fragrance for those who burn life at both ends

Écrin de Fumée by Serge Lutens is intended for hedonistic individuals who do not hesitate to live each moment fully, even to the point of excess. It speaks to all those who celebrate everyday life with indulgence and who savor each moment with a devouring appetite, fully aware that time is slipping away fast. As always, this fragrance comes with a quote signed by Serge Lutens as its sole description: Quick, quick, the end of the world! Our existence depends on urgency. Beneath the sound of cannons, champagne corks unfurl their gowns. Could they be on fire? Through the shroud of smoke, this day has blue eyes.

Let yourself be carried away by the gourmand and warm breath of Écrin de Fumée by Serge Lutens

Écrin de Fumée signals its place within Serge Lutens's Collection Noire from the very sight of its bottle. Indeed, this bottle is shared across the entire line. It is a transparent rectangle adorned with an imposing black label. The comforting, penetrating warmth of the fragrance held within this case shows through its walls, via a juice infused with a brown hue. From there, one cannot wait to smell its contrasted breath. Écrin de Fumée by Serge Lutens opens on a tobacco note. Honeyed, dry and waxy, it evokes the smell of pipe tobacco. Rum, in turn, intoxicates with its aromatic complexity. Rich in multiple facets, it unfolds a breath of cinnamon, vanilla, honey and hazelnut. Highly powerful, it is finally paired with cocoa bean absolute. Dense and balsamic, this ingredient also reveals the most animalic side of the person wearing this fragrance.
