Vitriol d’œillet
by Serge Lutens
Serge Lutens’ Vitriol d’œillet, launched in 2011, offers a distinctive and assertive interpretation of the carnation flower. This fragrance is characterized by a striking interplay of sharp, peppery nuances and a cool, almost metallic edge. Prominent notes of carnation and clove are amplified by a vibrant array of spices, including black pepper, pink pepper, paprika, and nutmeg. Undertones of lily, wallflower, and ylang-ylang add subtle floral depth, yet the overall impression remains dry, unsweetened, and intensely spicy. It is often described as a sophisticated and challenging scent, evoking a fiery yet refined elegance.
