The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Serge Lutens launched Sarrasins in 2007, a fragrance that captures the essence of white florals and warm spices with an understated elegance. Created by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake, this unisex scent opens with a delicate floral note before transitioning into a heart of jasmine and carnation. The base is anchored by musk, creating a powdery warmth that lingers softly on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply Sarrasins sparingly; the delicate floral notes are best appreciated close to the skin. The musky base allows it to develop slowly, so a light spritz on your pulse points will ensure that the fragrance evolves naturally throughout the day.
