New Fragrance: Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule

"Do not obey my orders, obey my silence"

 It is Winter 1952. Serge Lutens   a young school boy, fills his notebooks with drawings of flowers, fire, dragons … decorating the capital letters in  bright colors of purple, blue, gold. 

Santal Majuscule is built around three ingredients:  Sandalwood -sacred and precious – Cocoa, sweet and bitter – Damask Rose, fresh and peppery; the scent is a reflection of childhood memories and his fascination with Medieval legends and heraldic characters recounted in illuminated books.

 The eau de parfum is now exclusively available at the   Boutique du Palais Royal and sergelutens.com 

The new fragrance is part of the export range available internationally at select doors carrying the Serge Lutens line, in a black label, high concentration atomizer and will be available worldwide September 2012.

    Hi Michelyn,
    I just tried this over the weekend and I loved it. Beautiful and lasted for several hours. I can’t wait for September!

  • Hi smokey toes
    The actual press release was quite involved with portraying serge Lutens as a student arguing with his teacher and trying to make boring home work more beautiful
    I definitely got a sense that this fragrance was proustian
    Lucky you to try it already

  • Maybe this will be the Sandalwood fragrance from SL that will work for me 🙂 It sounds lovely

  • I already enjoy Santal de Mysore and Jeaux de Peau, this sounds like such a different take on Sandalwood but utterly lovely also and very much worth seeking out…. Thanks for the heads up!

  • I’ve been away from the computer and perfume for a while but am excited to return and read about this new one from SL! Rose and cocoa (with sandalwood) sound ideal!
