What comes to mind when one hears or sees a nun? What questions and guesses emerge? The fragrance of Serge Lutens La Religieuse captures the mysteriousness and complexity inherent to this religious spirit, embodying both the purity of a soul, akin to white flower petals, and the darkness of a dense night, the cloak in which she hides. This perfume is a symphony of contrasts, contradictions, and the unification of elements that seem impossible to combine.
The initial chord of the fragrance pyramid gently resonates with a honeyed overtone of regal jasmine. At the heart of the perfume composition, one can sense the animalistic shades of rich civet. The intoxicating trail of the scented water leaves behind a captivating aftertaste with smoky tones of enveloping frankincense with balsamic nuances and the sensual subtleties of powdery musk.
I didn't buy it here, but I want to share my impression. The first thought after applying it is that it can't be Serge Lutens, as most of the master's works are complex, sometimes even heavy to perceive (but that's why they are even more beloved))). This perfume, on the other hand, envelops with a light cloud of jasmine, I don't hear civet, maybe because I don't know how it sounds, then musk, pure, white, and then frankincense... In the end, it all sounds very harmonious, the fragrance is perfect for everyday wear and any season, it definitely lasts for 4 hours, I will enjoy using it!!!
