The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Serge Lutens and crafted by the perfumer himself, L'Eau d'Armoise is a composition that balances herbal freshness with warm spices. The fragrance opens with a crisp citrus-aromatic blend, giving way to an intriguing mix of sweet and spicy notes. This complexity creates a dynamic experience that feels both invigorating and comforting, making it suitable for any moment when you need a touch of sophistication.

How to wear it

This fragrance has a strong opening that fades into its warm base notes over time. Apply it to pulse points and allow a few minutes for the herbal and spicy notes to meld together before venturing out.

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.
