Hearty Sillage Serge Lutens Jeux De Peau  1

The connection between memory and scent is as fascinating to researchers as it is to fragrance enthusiasts. Inspired by the power of scents, Serge Lutens extends an invitation to indulge in an olfactive reverie with his latest gourmand creation, Jeux de Peau. Anointed with mouth-watering notes of milk, coconut, licorice and apricot, the fragrance is a nod to the nostalgia of childhood, telling the story of Lutens’s many memorable trips to the boulangerie as a boy. Unlike the tooth-achingly sweet accord that is associated with most gourmand perfumes, Jeux de Peau approaches the genre from a hearty angle – more buttered toast than cupcake. As the imagery suggests, the top notes greet the nose with warm, yeasty baked-goods accords, tempered by the floral notes of immortelle and dry sandalwood.

Serge Lutens’s Jeux de Peau is available at Escentials at Paragon.
