Bois roi d'agalloche

While the young King Louis XIV used oud to scent his linen, this hallowed essence stems from the Orient. The king of woods and the wood of kings, today it is worth more than gold. It is the embodiment of the most luxurious elixir, of the most mystical energy that radiates between the earthly realm and heaven. 

“When this wood perishes, its carcass emits a distinctive odour, like a death rattle, that may emerge from the depths of our disgust as the most exquisite of aromas.
Only a prince of insolence would have the audacity to crown it.” 
Serge Lutens 

When a fragrance reaches the pinnacle of beauty and preciousness, it is admitted to a resplendent kingdom: the Royaume des lumières. Nestled in the deep crimson of royalty and draped in the fanciful splendour of golden lacework, these scents showcase the most prestigious ingredients in perfumery. Creations as irresistible as they are indispensable for any perfume lover.

Serge Lutens favours the use of premium grade raw materials of natural origin to make its fragrances, driven by the conviction that these alone can ensure full and complex evolution of the perfume on the skin. To use, apply or spray* your chosen fragrance directly onto the skin and let it sit for a few minutes. This allows the composition to take on its full character and reveal its truest, most seductive form. Serge Lutens essences always end up confessing to their deeds!

*Serge Lutens users can choose between two application methods as per their preference: purists can opt for the round stopper and dab on the fragrance using their fingers, while those looking for convenience of use can opt for the spray format.
