4.1|1999|Unisex

Serge Lutens Tubereuse Criminelle, launched in 1999, is a distinctive unisex fragrance renowned for its audacious interpretation of tuberose. It opens with an arresting, almost mentholated or camphoraceous intensity, creating a cool and complex initial impression. This unique character is built upon a rich blend of Tuberose, Clove, Hyacinth, and Jasmine, yielding a powerfully indolic, green, and spicy floral heart. The composition gradually settles into a deeper, warmer base featuring Musk, Styrax, and Vanilla, offering a sophisticated contrast. It stands as an iconic and often polarizing scent, celebrated for its intense, provocative, and unique re-imagining of a classic floral.
