Le Participe Passé

This is felt in each of his creations. Serge Lutens moves within a creative world all his own. Everything is fair game to stir his imagination, and Serge Lutens never hesitates to delve back into his memories to craft new fragrances. Whether or not this is what guided his latest creation remains to be seen. Be that as it may, Serge Lutens's latest fragrance is named Participe Passé.

Serge Lutens's offbeat vision of the world

Although nothing destined Serge Lutens to become a perfumer, he readily admits that this world imposed itself on him naturally. Today, this renowned creator speaks about perfumery like no one else: Perfume is at the center of ourselves. It is through it that we express ourselves. It is our dot on the i, a way of envisioning and feeling ourselves. It is also a kind of weapon where seduction would be a consequence rather than an intention. Perfume is in the first person. From this unconditional love comes a collection of noble fragrances, at once deeply mysterious while also revealing his own history and memories. Serge Lutens has a style recognizable among all others, and this has earned him the favor of the greatest fashion houses and enthusiasts of noble, atypical fragrances. Le Participe Passé is no exception to the rule, delivering a piece of Serge Lutens's history while letting the imagination wander.

Serge Lutens's journeys through time

While most of Serge Lutens's perfumes come to us without any real explanation, often accompanied by an ambiguous quote, they are generally tied to the creator's memories. Born in Lille, Serge Lutens then grew up in Morocco. It is precisely this love for the oriental land that one discovers throughout his olfactory collection. Le Participe Passé is no exception to this tradition. It gives off a bold, warm breath that is enough to transport us to the other side of the Mediterranean in a single scented cloud. Serge Lutens has the gift of making us travel through time and inviting us into his memories, all while transporting us through space to the other end of the world. From there, perfumery becomes an outlet.

Le Participe Passé, an oriental and androgynous fragrance

Like all of Serge Lutens's perfumes, Le Participe Passé is addressed just as much to men as to women. It appears in the house's emblematic bottle, forming a rectangle topped with an opaque black cap. This time, its transparency lets us glimpse the orange color of a sensual juice. This hue, evocative of the ochre color of the desert, speaks volumes about the warm character of this fragrance. The scent of Le Participe Passé is built essentially around Egyptian resins and balsams. The whole is further enriched by a fruity cloud, more gourmand and juicy.
