The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010 by Serge Lutens, Bas de Soie is a Floral fragrance for both women and men. Created by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake, this composition opens with a vibrant green and fresh spicy accord that immediately draws you in. The heart of the scent features iris and violet, blending into a powdery and earthy base anchored by musk. This balance between freshness and warmth creates an enveloping embrace that is both familiar and intriguing.
Apply Bas de Soie lightly to pulse points. The green top notes are fleeting but powerful, so it’s best to let the powdery and earthy base notes take center stage as they develop over time. This fragrance is ideal for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet distinctive scent that evolves throughout the day.
