Notes: Tuberose, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Hyacinth, Nutmeg, Clove, Styrax, Musk, Vanilla. Gothic, extravagant, majestic. The Serge Lutens Tubéreuse Criminelle Eau de Parfum cocoons the body in dark floral hues. Inspired by the darker side of life, the fragrance sees the wickedness in mother nature. Rising up from black soil, these flowers grow with twisted stems, dappled with thorns and filled with poison. Also paying homage to some of the most controversial female figures, like Catherine de Medici, the fragrance finds pleasure in sinful extravagance. The delicate hues of Tuberose and Jasmine are corrupted by the smoky note of Nutmeg, complicating the perfume with a daring edge. This scent is filled with tension, colliding the earthy note of Musk with the sweet hue of Vanilla, fusing to create a bittersweet fragrance. From the Gratte Ciel, or ‘Skyscraper’ collection, the shape of the bottle is inspired by the cold beauty of the modern metropolis. Drawing on the overwhelming stature of New York’s skyline, the bottle is tall and crisp, with edges as sharp as the tip of the Chrysler Building. Realised in deep black, the bottle is lacquered to perfection, a towering vessel to reflect the perfume’s inspiration.
