The story behind the bottle.
La Nuit Tombee, launched by Serge Lutens in 2026, is a richly layered Oriental Woody fragrance that captures the essence of the night's descent. The composition opens with smoky and earthy accords that evoke the quiet intensity of twilight, leading into a warm spicy heart that adds depth and complexity. The base notes of patchouli and balsamic elements create an enveloping warmth, grounding the scent in a sense of mystery and charm.
Apply La Nuit Tombee in light layers to let its smoky and earthy notes unfold gradually. The base notes are slow to bloom, so a second application after an hour will enhance the overall warmth and depth.

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.
