SERGE LUTENS - "LA PROIE POUR L'OMBRE" EDP 100 ML

La proie pour l'ombre, an unlikely, paradoxical and elegant perfume in the Gratteciel collection by Serge Lutens

Serge Lutens reflects on the famous French expression La Proie pour l'ombre, to create a fable about those torn apart by impossible choices. Plagued by a lack of resolve, they take refuge in a world of illusions, a hall of mirrors where they chase shadows rather than substance.

Tender vanilla or carnal skin, you can't mistake one for the other! Like two sides of a coin, they are diametrically opposed, yet their destinies are irrevocably intertwined.

"Oh Prophet, within you you carry his cross, a blood different from yours flows in your veins! Cursed by this duality within me that has condemned me to chase shadows rather than substance.

The tender caress of vanilla and the snapping rustle of leather, united in a single emotion, to reflect the ambiguity evoked by the two sides of the same fairy tale." Serge Lutens

The design of this collection of perfumes by Serge Lutens is inspired by skyscrapers, taking us back to the aesthetics of the New York skyline of the 1920s and 1930s. In a deep black color lacquered to perfection and with edges as sharp as the tip of the Chrysler Building, this iconic bottle with Art Deco influences ushers in a radical modernity and a dizzying style that stands above the rest.

In his now iconic olfactory creations, perfumer Serge Lutens has been producing strong spirits with Proustian accents for over 20 years. From "Féminité du bois", to "Ambre sultan" and "La fille de Berlin", each perfume tells its own exceptional story and has its own unique signature.

Maybe yours too?
