Point Du Jour

The brisk clarity of an early morning walk — where the crisp air carries hints of camphor and spices, blending with the earthy warmth of a forest trail.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2024, Point Du Jour by Serge Lutens is an aromatic and woody fragrance created by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake. The composition opens with a fresh spicy camphor note that adds a distinctive edge to the overall aroma. As it settles, soft spicy accords merge seamlessly into a warm woody base, creating a balanced yet complex scent that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays initially; the fresh spicy top notes are immediate but fade within an hour. The woody base continues to develop close to the skin throughout the day, making it perfect for daytime wear.
