The story behind the bottle.
Écrin de Fumée by Serge Lutens, launched in 2023 and crafted by Christopher Sheldrake, is an intriguing blend of woody and smoky notes with a touch of sweetness. The fragrance opens with a rich cacao accord that transitions into the warmth of tobacco and rum, creating an enveloping embrace. The base layers bring out warm spices, adding depth and complexity to the composition. Écrin de Fumée is neither strictly masculine nor feminine, embodying a unisex elegance.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The cacao note fades within an hour but leaves behind a lingering warmth from the tobacco and spicy base notes. This fragrance works best in cooler environments where its smoky and warm notes can truly shine.
