"Tiny feet and long nails may be things of the past, but the odor of peeled mandarin oranges is forever. Suddenly the fragrance comes back to me. As a child, I would place the peel on a hot burner of the stove, rendering a scent I’ll never forget."

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.
