The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009, Fille en Aiguilles by Serge Lutens is an Oriental Woody fragrance for both women and men, crafted by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake. The composition opens with a fresh spicy conifer note that cuts through the air like a crisp winter morning. This gives way to a smoky woody base layered with warm spices and balsamic notes, creating a rich blend of earthy warmth. The fragrance is both bold and comforting, evoking the feeling of standing by an open hearth on a cold day.

How to wear it

Apply Fille en Aiguilles lightly at first — the conifer top note is bright but fades quickly. The smoky woody base takes about an hour to bloom fully, so give it time to settle on your skin. Ideal for a cool evening or indoors where its warmth can envelop you.
