Une Voix Noire

The hush of twilight in an urban garden, where white flowers perfume the air and the scent of damp earth rises just as night falls.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Une Voix Noire, launched by Serge Lutens in 2012 and crafted by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake, is a complex floral fragrance that blurs the line between day and night. The composition opens with a delicate white floral accord that transitions into lush lactonic and animalic notes, creating an intriguing interplay of sweetness and depth. This unisex scent ends on a green note, adding a fresh, natural touch to its otherwise rich profile.

How to wear it

Apply Une Voix Noire lightly to pulse points for a more intimate experience. The lactonic notes can be quite pronounced, so a lighter touch allows the green freshness to balance the richness throughout the day.
