Warm, rich, exotic, intense, spicy dramatic notes, often based on amber, vanilla, incense with florid floral top notes. Fresh, floral, sometimes herbal/mossy scents dominated by leafy, grassy, crisp notes. Lemon, bergamot, neroli, petitgrain, tangerine, grapefruit, cedar, syringe and lime. Reviving and refreshing. Rich, dark, smoky, deep, spicy notes usually intensified or contrasted with green, floral or animalic oils. Bouquets of flowers - tuberose, roses, lily, jasmine, lilac, muguet, ylang-ylang, violets, orange blossom etc. Fresh, sweet, feminine. Mostly florals and greens enlivened with notes of soft sweet fruits - peach, apricot, plum, pineapple, prune, and raspberry. Literally "from Cyprus". Longlasting, warm, mossy, soft dark scents. Very sophisticated, urban, couture and elegant. Usually chypres feature sharp, green top notes which soften to bases of oakmoss, amber, leather, vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood. Full-bodied, green, dark, aromatic notes of cedar, sandal, juniper, birchwood, rosewood, ebony, patchouli, oak-moss, lavender, clary sage. Entirely synthetic and quirky modern sub-group which uses a variety of chemicals (e.g. calene) to  introduce a suggestion of the sea, lakes, rivers and streams to the top and middle notes of a perfume. As innovative and ingenious as the introduction of aldehydes in the early 1920's.

  
Fragrance  << Serge Lutens  <<   L'Eau

L'Eau   With over 400 ingredients including specially devised molecules from the Master, this is a completely new departure for Serge. Clary sage and pink pepper play a part, as do vetiver, hesperdic notes and precious woods. But Lutens is deliberately vague as to the exact ingredients, preferring to stress a mood rather than a precise fragrance. And the mood is clean, clear, fresh, innocent, carefree. A delicious indulgence. L'Eau
