Le Participe Passé

Le Participe Passé, a new androgynous and oriental fragrance by Serge Lutens

Serge Lutens is a truly unique figure who draws us into a world that is both ambiguous and mysterious, yet always deeply luxurious. His fragrances have nothing in common with what is usually created in the world of perfumery. They are, on the whole, quite atypical and appeal to discerning connoisseurs in search of novelty. All different from one another, the juices of Serge Lutens are the result of an unbounded imagination. Today, the collection of this renowned creator is further enriched. The newcomer to the range is called Le Participe Passé.

The mysterious world of Serge Lutens

If Serge Lutens fascinates so deeply, it is simply because he has a very unconventional vision of the world, and this resurfaces in each of his fragrances. A true perfumery genius, he is a visionary who does not hesitate to create new trends. Although nothing predestined him for the world of fragrance, he asserts boldly that it imposed itself upon him «by the force of things». While all the fragrances of Serge Lutens share an identical rectangular bottle, they each transport us to varied universes and possess very pronounced scents. In his boutique at the Palais Royal in Paris, countless olfactory masterpieces hold court. It is for all these reasons that the fragrance Le Participe Passé is particularly eagerly awaited by lovers of noble essences.

Serge Lutens and his blurred vision of the past

Le Participe Passé has a very resinous character. In truth, its scent flows directly from the creator's memories. Serge Lutens is among those who love to draw inspiration from their past to craft futuristic fragrances. It must be said that Serge Lutens had a very turbulent childhood. Separated from his mother at a very young age, he still feels a tremendous sense of loss today and seems to fill this void through his fragrances. Here, Le Participe Passé evokes his childhood in Morocco. It restores the oriental, round and warm breath of that country. The result is an androgynous essence, intended equally for men and women, whose secret belongs to Serge Lutens alone.

Le Participe Passé, an elegant and resinous essence

Le Participe Passé reveals itself in the characteristic rectangular bottle of Serge Lutens, showcasing a warm, amber hue through its transparent walls. Inside, it holds a fragrance laden with Egyptian balsams and resins. More than ever, the oriental part of the globe resurfaces from this bewitching breath. Fruity notes also lend the composition a more indulgent and juicy sensation. Freshness thus mingles with the blazing heat of the desert sun. Like all fragrances by Serge Lutens, Le Participe Passé boasts a very elegant presentation, supplied with either a simple cap or a spray nozzle, allowing you to vary the application method to your liking.
