The story behind the bottle.
Renard Constrictor by Serge Lutens was launched in 2015 and is a fragrance for women and men. Created by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake, it captures the essence of fleeting memory and restrained fear. The opening notes of green apple and bergamot create a crisp, vibrant freshness that quickly transitions into a heart of violet and iris, adding an unsettling yet intriguing depth. This contrast is further emphasized by the base notes of leather, musk, and incense, which anchor the composition with a sense of warmth and mystery.
One spray is enough to capture the essence of Renard Constrictor. The crisp top notes are fleeting, so apply it as a subtle layer that allows the warm base notes to emerge gradually throughout the day. Best suited for evening wear when you want something that builds quietly but leaves a lasting impression.
