Turque, a blond, honeyed and smoked perfume in Serge Lutens' Gratte-ciel collection. Notes: Tobacco, honey, vanilla Secreted behind the screens of the Topkapi harem, Murad IV’s favorites and courtesans smoke long sculpted pipes, blowing smoke curls to pass the time; a contest of patience to create the most evocative curls which may hint at their destiny. Soft tobacco combines with the delicious scent of opiates, inviting you into the harem of the Great Lord of Istanbul.
"Smoking can kill you". Serge Lutens
The design of this collection of signature perfumes by Serge Lutens is inspired by skyscrapers, taking us back to the New York skyline aesthetic of the 1920s and 30s. In a deep black colour lacquered to perfection and with edges as sharp as the tip of the Chrysler Building, this iconic bottle with influences of Art Deco ushers in a radical new modernity and a vertiginous style that towers over the rest.
In his now iconic olfactory creations, the perfumer Serge Lutens has for over 20 years been producing strong alcohols with Proustian accents. From “Féminité du bois”, to “Ambre sultan” and “La fille de Berlin”, each perfume tells their own exceptional story and has their own unique signature.
Perhaps even yours?
