Serge Lutens Dent de Lait

Serge Lutens Dent de Lait sets milk and almond against cold metallic notes, while heliotrope and incense make the powdery sweetness feel strange rather than comforting.

Profile: Floral woody musk.

Notes: metallic notes, milk, heliotrope, incense, almond.

Evolution: cold metallic notes cutting through milk and almond, with powdery heliotrope and incense keeping the sweetness strange.

Best for: For the surrealist who finds fascination in sterile childhood memories, white-tiled rooms and beauty that is slightly uncomfortable; try it for an experimental film or a grey museum afternoon. Metallic milk, almond and incense are deliberately uncanny, not cozy gourmand comfort.

Origin: France.

Longevity: 6–10 hours.
