Application Tips
This fragrance is best applied in light sprays to capture its initial freshness. The citrus and aromatic top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so a few quick spritzes will ensure they linger through your day. It's ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that feels bright and engaging without being overpowering.

Evoking a fragment of amber resin picked up by Serge Lutens during a wander through the souks of Marrakech, which lay forgotten for years inside a thuja wood box, this perfume marks a return to a focus on the identity and authenticity of unique ingredients. An amber eau de parfum with notes of vanilla and patchouli. Royal! "This fragrance is not an Oriental, but an Arab and a Lutens. That being the case, don't expect it to fit in. The point of departure was a scented wax, found in a souk and long forgotten in a wooden box. The amber only became sultanesque after I reworked the composition using cistus, an herb that sticks to the fingers like tar, then added an overtone that nobody had ever dreamed of: vanilla." Serge Lutens An eaux de parfums line created by Serge Lutens in his own image. Minimalist, straight lined, angular and uncompromising, each of these bottles with their refined style reflects the exacting nature and character of their creator. A sobriety which enhances a perfumery with character. In his now iconic olfactory creations, Serge Lutens has for over 20 years been marking eaux de parfums that have become legendary. From “Féminité du bois”, to “Ambre sultan” and “La fille de Berlin”, each fragrance tells their own exceptional story and has their own unique olfactory signature. Perhaps even yours?

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where the aroma of fresh coffee mingles with the subtle woodsy notes of a just-polished desk.
