Serge Lutens, born in 1942 in Lille, is a French artist of many talents: photographer, filmmaker, fashion architect and perfume creator. After starting out in hairdressing and make-up, he worked with prestigious magazines such as Vogue. In 1980, he began a decisive collaboration with Shiseido, contributing to the brand's visual identity and launching iconic fragrances such as "Féminité du bois" in 1992. In 2000, he founded his own perfume house, Serge Lutens, offering unique and avant-garde olfactory creations. Deeply influenced by Marrakech, where he acquired a residence in 1974, he draws from this city a major source of inspiration for his perfumes. Today, the Serge Lutens house is renowned for its artistic approach and its commitment to originality and quality.
