"The portcullis is down, the drawbridge up. Gilles de Rais, alias Bluebeard, has returned to his castle. Soon, blood will stain the moss of Tiffauges Wood! Originally, the name of this chypre fragrance included the country of provenance, whose inhabitants used to scent their homes by hanging small "sachets" of cistus leaves and oak moss from wooden rafters."

With their rounded shoulders and apothecary stopper, the delightfully old-fashioned luxury of the exclusive bottles played a key role in forging the Serge Lutens reputation. Taking us back to basics with a perfume which is dabbed on with the finger, these very special bottles were initially only available from Serge Lutens’ Palais Royal shop in Paris. Today, they are distributed on a slightly larger scale to reach the growing number of aficionados.
