The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 by Serge Lutens, Le perce-vent is a fragrance that balances the sharpness of aromatic notes with subtle warmth and powdery undertones. The composition opens with an aromatic blend that gives way to soft spices and musk, creating a tension between freshness and depth. This unisex scent is a proof of Serge Lutens's mastery in crafting fragrances that are both complex and evocative.
One or two sprays are sufficient — the aromatic top notes are bright but short-lived, while the powdery musk base provides lasting warmth. Best suited for indoor settings where it can envelop you in its subtle richness.

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.
