La Religieuse

by Serge Lutens

3.9|2015|Unisex

Serge Lutens' La Religieuse, launched in 2015, is a UNISEX fragrance that explores profound themes of duality and contrast. Often described as a study in light and shadow, the composition evokes a compelling interplay between purity and a more intricate, perhaps darker, devotion. It is built around a prominent jasmine note, which offers both a radiant and deeply indolic character. This floral heart is beautifully interwoven with the mystical smokiness of incense, contributing a spiritual yet melancholic dimension. Animalic undertones of civet and musk lend a sophisticated warmth and an intriguing depth, crafting a complex and memorable olfactive experience.
