Dent de Lait

Dent de Lait, the new atypical composition by Serge Lutens

Acquired in December 2015 by the Shiseido group, with whom it had already been collaborating for many years, the Serge Lutens brand is currently making waves with the launch of its brand-new perfume. As always, this unique juice takes us into an unexpected universe and is aimed primarily at seasoned perfume enthusiasts. Its name alone is enough to spark curiosity. A closer look at the new fragrance by Serge Lutens: Dent de Lait.

Serge Lutens and Christopher Sheldrake

To create his new fragrance, Serge Lutens once again called upon the talents of perfumer Christopher Sheldrake. Indeed, this collaboration between the two creatives is far from being a first. Many consider him to be "the second man" of the house of Serge Lutens. This British perfumer is renowned for his daring and his boundless creativity. Many say that he has truly revolutionised the world of perfumery. It is precisely for this reason that, since 1995, he has collaborated very frequently with Serge Lutens. He considers it to be one of the few brands in the world that allows him to express his creativity freely, without ever imposing constraints. Dent de Lait is yet another demonstration of this overflowing originality.

The scent of a Dent de Lait

The least one can say is that the idea behind this new perfume is, to say the least, disconcerting… What can a perfume bearing such a name possibly smell like? Well, quite simply like a Dent de Lait! At this stage, very little information about the formula of this new juice is circulating. However, we know that it has a scent genuinely close to that of a Dent de Lait. It delivers a metallic breath that is somewhat reminiscent of the smell of blood. This scent is combined with a powdery, milky breath. Finally, a smoky sensation envelops the whole. While the idea is intriguing, one must acknowledge that this new juice is, as always, perfectly orchestrated. It thus exudes a harmony that is truly unparalleled.

The elegance of Serge Lutens bottles

Dent de Lait is presented in the signature bottle of the house of Serge Lutens. Rectangular in shape, it is made entirely of thick glass. It is adorned on this occasion with a black label bearing the name Serge Lutens, on which the name of this new perfume is also indicated, with understated elegance. The whole is topped with a black ball as a cabochon and brilliantly reflects the entire elegance of the Serge Lutens brand. While Serge Lutens perfumes were once offered in a single 50 ml format, the creator has since changed this, and Dent de Lait will now be delivered in a 100 ml spray.
