The fragrance's feel

Conceived by Serge Lutens as a collection of iconic fragrances, the design of Gratte-ciel evokes the aesthetics of the New York skyline in the 20/30s. Perfected in lacquered black, with edges as sharp as the tip of a Chrysler Building, this iconic bottle draws its influences from Art Deco to embody a new modernity, symbolizing the avant-garde of a style at its peak.
