The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2003, Fumerie Turque by Serge Lutens is a captivating Oriental fragrance for both women and men. Crafted by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake, this composition opens with the rich sweetness of honey and vanilla before settling into a warm base of amber, patchouli, and woody notes. The tobacco accord adds an unexpected edge, creating a juxtaposition between indulgence and restraint that is quintessentially Serge Lutens.
Apply Fumerie Turque to pulse points for a warm, enveloping effect. The honey and vanilla notes are most prominent initially but give way to the deeper woody base as the day progresses. It is best worn in cooler temperatures when its warmth feels more comforting.
