The story behind the bottle.
Boxeuses by Serge Lutens, launched in 2010 and crafted by Christopher Sheldrake, is a fragrance that encapsulates the essence of raw strength and refined elegance. Leather notes form the backbone of this composition, grounded by smoky and woody accords, while fruity and sweet nuances add an unexpected softness. The interplay between these elements creates a scent that feels both ruggedly authentic and subtly sophisticated.
Apply Boxeuses in light layers to allow its complex notes to unfold naturally. The smoky base requires time to develop fully, so it's best suited for daytime wear when you can appreciate its gradual transformation.
