The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Serge Lutens, Parole d'Eau is a fragrance that captures the essence of fresh air and crisp clarity. The composition opens with a blend of citrus and aromatic notes, creating an invigorating freshness that immediately awakens the senses. As it develops, camphor and conifer lend a subtle, woodsy coolness, balanced by musky undertones that provide depth without heaviness.
This fragrance is best applied in light sprays to capture its initial freshness. The citrus and aromatic top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so a few quick spritzes will ensure they linger through your day. It's ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that feels bright and engaging without being overpowering.

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.
