Cellophane night? The name was meant to shock, says the enigmatic maestro of the Palais Royal -- though what it alludes to is simply the material used to wrap bouquets in flower shops.Serge Lutens has launched Nuit de Cellophane, the latest fragrance in the export collection. As the night unfolds, it reveals a cluster of heavenly bodies. The velvet pirouette of moths fluttering around glowing lanterns. Creatures of darkness, crickets and other dwellers of the shadows lying undercover, transmit their requests.
-Excuse me, miss? Could you wrap that please?
-Is it a gift, sir?
-Indeed it is, a gift for you. Serge Lutens.
Fragrance notes include Green note, fruity note, jasmine, osmanthus, carnation, lily, muscs, almond, wood, and honey. It’s more lightly fruity, in the apricot area, with a little lily and more jasmine floating around. The fruitier aspect seem to blow off about an hour in, leaving this much less of a fruity floral and more of just a beautiful floral.
At first sniff, you may think Serge Lutens has gone mainstream. Nuit de Cellophane is, undeniably, a fruity floral drowned in a cloud of fluffy musk. But smell more closely, and the little night music running through the Lutens opus will make itself heard: the stained-glass light of mandarin, warmed by the solar cinnamon roundness of myrrh, drowns the dusk-blooming, indolic jasmine in sunset hues. A slight mentholated whiff betrays a roving tuberose throwing her green flash.
Chinese osmanthus, with its juicy apricot sweetness and suede-like facets, is offset by the clove-y warmth of carnation and the milky lushness of almonds. A touch of lily adds smokiness to the blend, melding into the woody, creamy sandalwood base drowned in honey. A deceptively innocent, multi-textured fragrance whose carnal whispers will draw you into the luminescent sparkle of a cellophane night.
So for those of you wanting to find a more floral Serge scent you can wear besides Clair de Musc, Nuit de Cellophane is a good winner and an excellent example of what a well done fruity floral should smell like.
Serge Lutens Nuit de Cellophane was introduced January 2009 and is available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum.
