The story behind the bottle.
L'Haleine des Dieux, launched by Serge Lutens in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake, is a unisex fragrance that embodies the complexity of powdery woods and animalic notes. The composition opens with aromatic elements before settling into a rich base of amber, musk, leather, and vanilla. This blend creates an atmosphere that feels both warm and slightly mysterious, capturing the essence of lasting elegance.
Apply L'Haleine des Dieux with two sprays to the pulse points. The aromatic opening notes are bright but short-lived, giving way to the rich base that gradually unfolds over time. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear when its warm and enveloping qualities can be fully appreciated.
