Serge Lutens — La Vierge de Fer


Serge Lutens — La Vierge de Fer
Eau de Parfum
A fascinating and singular pairing of lily with pear and a sandalwood base. The composition meets sharp, modern metallic edges in heady ozonic aldeydes.
“Fresh, green lilies immaculately arranged in a baccarat crystal vase sitting adjacent to a bowl of juicy pears on a chilly, marble counter. There is a breeze coming through the open window. Absolutely gorgeous.” — ebh12, Fragrantica
“A very interesting modern floral from the eclectic Serge Lutens line. The perfume whose name translates to “The Iron Maiden” opens with a burst of lily and pear. The heart reveals a slight metallic note and the perfume dries into a powdery base of incense and sandalwood with the lily still dominating. This is a cold, modern, and icy floral. Well blended with moderate to strong projection and long lasting. Recommended for daring ladies and men not afraid of smelling a bit floral.” — rbalkris, Fragrantica
