The story behind the bottle.
Serge Lutens launched Bois roi d'agalloche in 2025, a fragrance that marries the rich and smoky notes of oud with the warmth of amber, patchouli, and earthy spiciness. This composition is a study in contrasts: the deep, velvety tones of oud are balanced by the bright freshness of spicy accords, creating a scent that is both intense and inviting. The woody base offers a grounding quality, making it a fragrance that feels as much like an experience as it does a perfume.
Apply Bois roi d'agalloche to pulse points for an intimate experience. The oud and woody notes project close to skin rather than filling the room, making it ideal for a personal touch throughout the day.

Serge Lutens
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.
