Serge Lutens launched Santal Majuscule Edition Numérotée in 2012 as a woody oriental fragrance for both women and men. The composition opens with a bold cacao note, which contrasts sharply against the warm spiciness of its heart. This is where rose comes into play, adding an unexpected floral touch that softens the overall intensity without overpowering the woodsy base notes. Santal Majuscule Edition Numérotée is a fragrance caught between two ideas: the rich earthiness of cacao and the smooth warmth of powdery woods.

Application Tips
This fragrance has a long-lasting base that takes time to bloom fully. Apply one generous spray initially; it will develop more warmth as it settles into your skin over the first hour or so. Best for cooler evenings when the powdery notes can truly shine.

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 warm spices and a hint of rose mingle in anticipation.
