Eau de Parfum

The spirit of Parisian haute couture, its ethereal and dreamlike world, is incarnated in this glimpse through a translucent cellophane veil, in a night suffused with the cooling fragrance of mandarin and osmanthus.

With an airy and mysterious opening of white flowers (osmanthus, jasmine and lily) this is a rare fruity floral in the expansive catalog of fragrances from Serge Lutens. As the name suggests, there are also hints of a plastic wrapping around the bouquet, giving a complicated sophistication that evokes fresh and glistening flowers.

“I know the niche perfume community tends to frown on pretty in favor of interesting but damn it, interesting doesn’t wear well on me. I want a complex, spicy scent but they don’t work. With that said, I adore NDC! Yes, it’s a pretty floral but it’s not typical at all. Its well done and I find it has a “curious” quality in that there’s something that keeps you sniffing, trying to figure out what it is that makes this pretty floral so special. I’ve been wearing floral all my life but this one stands out. Very well done.”
