French niche house Serge Lutens will launch La Dompteuse Encagée, a new fragrance in the brand’s Collection Noire.
Just as Joan of Arc, at her trial, could not swear to her judges whether her apparitions were clothed or naked, I cannot swear to it either. Her determination is like marble: cold and powdery white. Nonetheless, I sense the snow – so dreaded, yet desired – the avalanche is on its way. She provokes him by reminding him his injuries: All the screams you swallowed, and suffered in silence, will come pouring out! But they will barely be recognisable to themselves any more than to you, or perhaps in a past caught in the mirror, where you lose sight of yourself.
Notes for the gourmand floral include frangipani, almond and ylang-ylang.
Serge Lutens La Dompteuse Encagée will be available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
