The fragrance's atmosphere 

A collection of perfumes designed by Serge Lutens in his own image! Minimalist, straight, angular and uncompromising, each absolutely pure bottle reflects the exacting standards and uncompromising character of its creator. It's a sobriety that feels like a manifesto, highlighting the richness and sumptuousness of the fragrances and colours that are as varied and nuanced as the precious stones and facets of our personalities.   

Here is the olfactory description of Poivre Noir by Serge Lutens

"Poivre Noir" by Serge Lutens, with its olfactory composition centred on Madagascar black pepper, nutmeg and cedar, offers an olfactory experience that is both intense and refined. 

Madagascar Black Pepper: The main note, Madagascar black pepper, brings a spicy warmth and intensity to the fragrance. Black pepper is often associated with sensuality and sophistication. 

Nutmeg: Nutmeg, with its rich, spicy aroma, can add a woody, oriental depth to the composition. It often has warm, soothing qualities. 

Cedar: Cedar, a woody note, can provide a solid base to the fragrance. It often adds an earthy, slightly resinous dimension, creating a woody background. 

General sensation 

Together, these notes create a fragrance that skilfully balances the spicy warmth of black pepper with the richness of nutmeg and the stability of cedar. It's a combination that can evoke images of mystery, adventure and sophistication. It's a fragrance for those seeking a bold and distinctive olfactory experience.
