Serge Lutens La Religieuse Eau de Parfum

What comes to mind when one hears or sees a nun? What questions and speculations arise? The fragrance of Serge Lutens La Religieuse captures the mystery and complexity inherent to this religious persona, her soul as pure as white flower petals, and her black attire, reminiscent of the dense, impenetrable night, behind which she conceals herself. This perfume is a juxtaposition of contrasts, contradictions, and the unification of elements that seemingly cannot be combined.

The initial accord of the fragrance pyramid gently resonates with the honeyed overtone of regal jasmine. At the heart of the perfume composition, the animalistic shades of rich civet are felt. The intoxicating sillage leaves behind a captivating aftertaste with smoky tones of enveloping frankincense with balsamic nuances and the sensual subtleties of powdery musk.
