Noire, a smoky, ethereal and mystical perfume in Serge Lutens' Gratte-ciel collection. Notes: Spicy, woody, amber, smoky notes Serge fabric was used to make cassocks and school smocks. It is a twill weave whose name has since been given to the man who dedicated himself to all things feminine. An ethereal woodiness with a smoky sillage, therein lies its ambiguity.
"My first name is the name of a fabric. It strikes the right note for this fragrance. In a similar vein, nothing can capture this scent’s spirit better than subtle "snapshots" from the past, like a forgotten glove lying on an antique chair. Incense stirred by the smell of burnt wood." 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.
