Serge Lutens was born on May 14, 1942 in Lille, located in the north of France. He clearly had difficulties in acquiring knowledge, and when Serge was 14 years old, his father advised him to go to study as a hairdresser - so, at least, he would have a profession and some income. And it turned out that the choice was correct. Serge was a capable student, and soon they started talking about him - his hairdressing art ensured him recognition among the visitors, and he gained a reputation as a master. Serge Lutens works with passion and creates hairstyles that start to amaze and delight everyone - from conservatives to supporters of innovative ideas.

In parallel with the hairdressing skill, he also had original ideas in make-up. In the late 50s, the images of his models with porcelain faces and shaded dark, almost black, eyes resembled Japanese prints. And these innovative ideas caught the attention of specialists. Photos of his models, and Serge began to engage in photography, he brought to Paris and showed the editor-in-chief of Vogue. From that moment, and this was in 1963, he began to work in the world-famous Vogue magazine. There was both a sense of style and aesthetic power in his photographs.

Serge Lutens lives in Marrakech, where a huge garden is laid out near the mansion. Apparently here, in this garden, he draws inspiration for his new masterpieces, looking at delicate hyacinths and crocuses, luxurious roses, inhaling their deep and rich aroma. His garden is a true source of pleasure, which opens up new ideas and horizons for Serge to create perfection. Once, having visited Morocco, he did not expect that his home would be here. Only the brought piece of cedar wood, which he carefully kept, reminded him of the country of exciting and intoxicating aromas. Apparently then some feelings, hidden in the depths of his soul, prompted him to create fragrances.After all, smells can express feelings in the soul, and creating scents is a way to communicate them.

Serge Lutens' fragrances are works of art. It was for his skill in perfumery that he was awarded the title of Commander of the Order of Arts and Education. Each fragrance is a story of deep feelings that gradually reveal their secret. Fragrances adorn the owner, complement his image. They have an attractive power, as they put passion, tenderness, romantic mood, sophistication into the soul of the fragrance - everything that each of us can feel in ourselves.

Serge Lutens creates his aromas with a predominance of fruit notes: currant, lemon, orange, pineapple, mango. In the compositions, you can feel the breath of coniferous aromas, patchouli, moss, notes of musk and woody ingredients sound.

Fragrances can be presented in three categories. This is how they look like:

Perfume Tubereuse Criminelle Serge Lutens - a fragrance for a true woman, complex, aggressive fragrance, belongs to the family of floral fragrances. Released in 1999. Perfumer: Christopher Sheldrake.

Perfumer Christopher Sheldrake deals with the technical side of the perfume company, and Serge Lutens himself is responsible for the creative side., because "... no one can write my story instead of me." All his feelings are translated into the language of aromas. As a writer who expresses his thoughts and feelings in words, the Serge Lutens Fragrance expresses itself through perfume.

It is Morocco that is the country with which Serge Lutens associates his success in perfumery. The smell around him made Serge develop a sense of smell, which, in his opinion, was not sufficiently developed.

When does success come? No, he does not come suddenly, by accident. It seems to us that a person suddenly discovered a talent, or, as we say, a gift. Somewhere within us there is already something that only we ourselves should discover and use this gift.But this requires a lot of work, and this must be pursued, this must be desired. Yes, sometimes there is an accident in life that you need to be able to take advantage of. As Serge Lutens says about himself, that everything that happened to him was by chance, and he took advantage of this opportunity. But there are people, and there are many of them, who, neither of their own gift, nor of the accident that they just talked about, do not know how to see and notice. Let's remember the words of Socrates: "In every person the sun, just let it shine."

We must agree with Serge Lutens that in the modern world it is very easy to get lost and not find yourself, not reveal your creative potential. And in the world of people, everything is not very simple, often a creative person is a victim. “The modern world is a source of stress. All conditions have been created in it so that the talent of the creator does not reveal itself in a person. "

This is probably why Serge himself chose for himself a position in which he does not extol anyone and does not blame, especially when it comes to vulnerable creative personalities. He sees dignity in every person. By nature, he is both a philosopher and a psychologist, he likes solitude, he tries to get away from the hustle and bustle, where there is stress. The atmosphere in which he lives, of course, leaves an imprint on his perfumes. But it cannot be otherwise. The perfumes of Serge Lutens were not born from scratch, they were born from the inner content of the soul, from what was yesterday, a year ago and far in the past. Serge has always adored art, but when he turned to perfumery, he realized that it was through her that he could express all the depth and philosophy of his feelings.

Why some perfumes suit one and not another. The perfumer also has his own observations. Yes, of course, the magic of perfume attracts not only from what is your character, temperament, your feelings, whether they coincide with those feelings of the perfumer who created them. But there are also features by which the correspondence of the perfume and its owner is created. This is where you live, your nationality, your food. That is why Serge Lutens carefully chooses the ingredients, as our skin influences the release of the notes of the scent.

For example, the inhabitants of the countries of the East, India, light and green aromas will not make an impression, since they use a lot of spices in food, and the Japanese do not like sweet aromas, since there is too much fish and rice in their diet, and around the salty sea air. According to Serge Lutens, orchid-based perfume will be preferable in Japan. Serge Noir Eau de Toilette is also popular in Japan. And Europeans, not everyone loves spicy notes or heavy notes of the East. In his perfume Serge Lutens takes into account the traditions of the country, and uses mostly natural ingredients. Therefore, Serge Lutens perfumery belongs to selective and luxury. The production volumes are small, and there is almost no advertising. But the aromas are in demand, they delight with their freshness and sophistication. His business is growing and developing. Serge Lutens continues to follow the old traditions when many famous houses change their assortment and create cheaper fragrances. In addition, perfumers, being in the system of the company, are highly dependent on it. And Serge Lutens is free to indulge his fantasies and dispose of his time while making perfume - he is a freelance artist. There can be no unambiguous position here. After all, every girl wants to buy a bottle with a little sorcerer. Therefore, the choice of perfumery is yours.
