The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009, L’Eau Serge Lutens is a creation by both Serge Lutens and Christopher Sheldrake, blending aldehydic freshness with aromatic and citrus notes. The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of citric zest that quickly evolves into a lush green and floral heart. This transition is anchored by musky undertones, creating an impression of clean air enveloped in subtle warmth.

How to wear it

For best results, apply L’Eau Serge Lutens to pulse points in the morning. The aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting, while the musky base provides a gentle warmth that lingers throughout the day.
