Gris Clair by Serge Lutens, launched in 2019 and crafted by Christopher Sheldrake, is an aromatic fougère that balances the freshness of lavender with the warmth of amber and vanilla. The fragrance opens with a bright, crisp note of lavender, which is then complemented by the fresh spiciness and smokiness that add depth. As it settles into its woody base notes, Gris Clair transforms into an enveloping blend of powdery woods and sweet vanilla, creating a harmonious balance between lightness and warmth.
