The story behind the bottle.
La Vierge De Fer by Serge Lutens was launched in 2013 and was crafted by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake. This fragrance is a distinctive blend of white floral and fruity notes, intertwined with metallic accents that create an unexpected tension. The sweetness and aquatic freshness in the composition add layers of complexity, while soft spicy and woody accords provide warmth and depth. La Vierge De Fer stands out for its innovative use of metallic notes, which give it a modern edge and make it distinct within Serge Lutens' collection.
Apply La Vierge De Fer lightly to pulse points; its metallic notes project well, while the white floral and fruity accords provide a delicate yet lasting presence. This fragrance is best experienced close to skin rather than from afar.
