The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Zurafa, crafted by Serge Lutens and launched in 2025, is an evocative blend of leather, iris, and powdery musk that resonates with the brand's signature elegance. The composition opens with a bold leather accord, which contrasts sharply against the soft florals of iris and violet, creating a tension between rawness and refinement. This interplay continues through the earthy and smoky base notes, giving Zurafa its distinctive warmth and depth.

How to wear it

Zurafa's base notes bloom slowly over time, so applying it to pulse points allows for a gradual unfolding. The leather accord is most prominent during the first hour, making it ideal for an evening out where you want a scent that evolves as the night progresses.

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.
