De Profundis Limited Edition by Serge Lutens was launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake. This fragrance is a study in contrasts, opening with the sharp green notes of chrysanthemum that give way to the smoky warmth of incense and ash. The heart of violet and floral notes adds an unexpected layer of softness, while the woody base imbues a sense of grounding and depth. It's a composition that feels both ancient and contemporary, evoking the quiet solemnity of a contemplative space.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance sparingly — it has a slow build and will deepen on your skin over time. It's best for evening wear or cooler weather when its smoky and woody notes can unfold without being overwhelmed by heat.

The story behind the bottle.
The hushed intimacy of a library where books whisper with age, their scent mingled with the subtle smoke from an extinguished candle and the soft touch of violet.
