Serge Lutens wanted to create the “anti-perfume” with the clean notes of fresh and clear scent rather than a perfume in the classic sense. This fragrance is his response to the over production of perfumes and artificial scents. The fragrance is fresh as a mountain air and breeze, creating a feeling of just taking a bath and slipping into clean clothes.
Notes: aldehydes, citrus, magnolia, white mint, clary sage, ozonic notes and musk.
It is available as 100 ml EDT. L’Eau Serge Lutens was launched in 2009. L’Eau Serge Lutens was created by Serge Lutens and Christopher Sheldrake.
On me it smells like some sort of strong medicine when applied. Not a pleasant smell at all. After about an hour this strong smell faded a bit but it wasn't until after a few hours that it started to smell nice. The lasting power is very high on me, it only started to fade the next day. Still, I won't be using this one again, I want my perfume to smell nice from the beginning.
Smells like pizza...must be the sage. Several other Lutens perfumes are genius, but this is not one of them.
Well i like it very much, BUT on my husband is absolutely amazing! I think that is mostly masculine...It is a nice fragrance though!
Sorry but I don´t understand this one. 90 EUR for this?!!!
It's really fresh. I have just put it on and am waiting for it to develop.. For now it smells like citrus, slightly spicy, giving me the idea of a nice aromatic shower gel. Not necessarily "pour femme", I'd see it well also on a sporty man.
About an hour has passed since I sprayed it and it has now become exactly like Cool Water by Davidoff. I like it very much but I think that I'd prefer Cool Water to a very expensive version of it with a "WOW" first ten minutes...
I like it a lot after a few sprays... I smell a strong pepper note that isn't listed but makes it a great summer eau. It isn't unique but it works... I agree it's too expensive for what it is... still it gives a classy allure which fits a man or a woman equally and it's modern and easy to wear. Not in the first positions of Lutens' offerings but still a scent I'd use had I the full bottle with me. I think it's in the same group of creamy spicy citrus as Cereus 04.
it is true that the first minuts of the fragance are the best in my opinión . You feel the fresh minty , the whatery refresh orange ... really nice , fresh , casual unisex. But later the orange is more creamy and musky , more than a skyn scent not eau.
is the first time I can really smell the aroma of a freshly made natural juice of orange, fresh and bright. Incredible sensations you get with their perfumes ... clean and the smell of grass are also present. I recommend smell if only to feel ... Sergi is like one who places or objects portrayed in their perfumes.
it's more like a creamy orange peel scent..this is all i got and it doesn't last more than 3-4 hours !! is this lutens??
i love the first notes, resembles Chanel Chance to me, but in a lighter version! but after 15-25 min seems it disappears and i can't feel anything :s but i live the design, and generally i am an admirer of Lutens' masterpieces :)
A tad boring. And somehow not so original. All I get from this one is the loudness of magnolia and musks. It gets a bit sweet after 10 minutes and then it's all about powder. Nothing new and I believe some others done the anti-perfume genre in a more interesting way.
It's good if you don't really ask for much.
Very close to AQUA di GIO for men by G. Armani. Nothing special considering it's Serge Lutens.
Freshness in a bottle. This L'Eau Serge Lutens is very easy to wear and can be worn and enjoy by anyone. I get a lot of aldehyde, fresh basil and citrus, but I don't get a lot of floral. Then it becomes tea-like lightness and a bit soapy and clean. It may appear a bit common as it lacks a pizzazz. Perhaps it wasn't create to be. It's just another comfy scent for anyone.
The Healing Garden White Tea body spray, that's what this reminded me of. There's a hint of mothball in the fragrance. About 20 minutes or so it gets to a clean musk scent. It's better later and if it smelled like that, from start to finish, then I would buy it.
Fresh, clean, light, sophisticated, but simple and minimalistic...Not warm, not soft. Average lasting power. In my opinion overpriced. Definitely something different by Serge Lutens.
This is one for someone (probably male) who doesn't want anyone to consciously notice that they are wearing a fragrance at all, but want a subliminal association with freshly laundered clothes, that lingers longer than the first few minutes after they get dressed. Why would anyone expend the kind of money that Lutens charges for this non-event? Well, no-one ever said subliminal messages weren't powerful,,and just think of the kind of marketing aimed squarely at business people who want to convey a impression of sophistication, style and good grooming - they are the target group for this. Plus collectors/completists who want to experience an elaborate expensive experiment in anti-perfume for themselves. In its own terms, it works, like some of Commes Des Garcons more bizarre output, but unless you have a very high disposable income, it's not going to top your wish list. Very clever in many ways, but pointless
This is not fresh; it's clean and warm. Opening is a bit confusing but that's everything where you get the citrus part; the real thing comes after an hour, no lemons or anything like that, it does smell like clean white quality cotton freshly iron shirt. It is comforting and warm in a clean non soapy way. No soapiness like Prada Infusion etc. It needs few wearings to understand it but it is totally worth Luten and it's classy scent but predominantly for men IMO. I'm definitely buying it. Last thing this is “clean” scent more suitable for winter or fall not fresh; try to put it on when it is raining or snow.
I don't care about anti-perfume: this smells terrible and is unworthy of Serge. It is like a cheap version of Issey.
Crisp soapy clean, like laundry on the line without actually smelling of detergent. He succeeded in his anti-perfume.
You can pretty much smell all of the notes in here if you pay attention, including the soft floral, however the overall feeling is of a clean fresh soft citrus, very slight herbal feel, totally unisex. But a bit boring too.
Serge Lutens é un grandissimo profumiere,raffinato e le sue fragranze sono dei veri mosaici olfattivi! Anche se a volte per me, un po' troppo intense. Appena ho sentito l'Eau pero', ho capito subito che era il "mio".L'eccezionale di questo profumo é che essendo una fragranza che sa semplicemente di pulito,resta intatta per ore, perché é un'eau de parfum! E si sa che il profumo di pulito dopo un po'scompare...ma non questa Eau de Parfum eccezionale!
Very soft floral with a bit of freshness. I get the verbena at the opening, then the fragrance fades to something soft and slightly sweet with the mint peeking out. Totally inoffensive so if that's what you're looking for, this is your fragrance. I don't find the fragrance overly soapy either. Just so so to me.
Sure it's pleasant-and smells nicer than L'Eau D'Issey-and even a tiny bit more interesting than pure soap, but we've all smelled this long before Serge Lutens decided to do what is unusual, and make a minimalist statement--for him. This isn't just "blech" like Cologne by Thierry Mugler to my nose, but you've been warned, that my idea of perfect fresh scents extends beyond what I would like to call "soapy pranks".
I like the citrus opening more than the anti-scent dry down. Sure it would smell nice on some clean person walking silently down a white hallway, but what's the point? If you want to make an antiperfume statement, just don't wear perfume. If you want to smell like soap, just use extra soap.
I like fresh minimalist scents in general. You can tell it by the fact that years ago I was looking for the ideal fresh one and chose Mauboussin M Moi. L’Eau follows the same path, but sounds even more neutral without making any curtsey in the direction of feminity. It's neither cold like L'eau D'Issey nor fragile like Oui! by Lancome. Well, it's totally... neutral.
The concept of clear space in its commercial fits the fragrance very well. The space where it's nothing left to be thrown away. On the blotter it sounds exactly like that. When I tried it on my skin, I felt an immediate urge to get rid of citruses, alien admixture to such a clean white shirt scent - fortunately, they disappear in 20-30 min without a trace. On the whole within its concept frame, the scent is not bad at all.
