The Story

Des Clous Pour Une Pelure by Serge Lutens, launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake, is a warm spicy aromatic fragrance that balances the brightness of citrus with the depth of spices. The composition opens with a sharp burst of orange, which quickly gives way to the rich warmth of cloves in the heart, before settling into the earthy sweetness of nutmeg at its base. This interplay between freshness and spiciness creates an intriguing tension, making it both invigorating and enveloping.
