Launched in 2009 by Serge Lutens and crafted by Christopher Sheldrake, Fourreau Noir is a composition that balances the crisp freshness of lavender with the warmth of almond and vanilla. The fragrance opens with an aromatic touch of lavender before transitioning into a heart that combines sweet almond notes with a subtle nuttiness. This contrasts beautifully against the rich musky and amber base, creating an intriguing depth. It's a scent that feels both lasting and modern, embodying Serge Lutens' signature blend of sophistication and intimacy.

Application Tips
Fourreau Noir blooms slowly on skin, so a light spritz is sufficient. It's best to apply it in the early evening when the lavender and almond notes can seamlessly transition into the richer base as the night progresses.
