Poivre noir by Serge Lutens, 100 ml eau de parfum with its box

The story of Poivre noir

Poivre noir is a minimalist, uncompromising fragrance, straight and angular, placing Madagascan black pepper at the heart of a spicy woody. A creation of character from Serge Lutens' Collection noire.

Black pepper opens the composition, burning and vibrant; nutmeg warms the heart with a spicy sweetness; cedar signs the base, dry and coniferous. A spicy woody of absolute purity, austere and refined.

Composed by Christopher Sheldrake under the direction of Serge Lutens, Poivre noir is worn in autumn and winter, for a spicy, sober elegance.

Expert tip

A Serge Lutens perfume favors, as far as possible, the use of top-quality raw materials of natural origin. They alone guarantee a true evolution of the perfume on the skin. Apply or spray* the perfume preferably directly on the skin and wait a few minutes, the time for the composition to develop its fullness and reveal itself in its most disturbing truth. At Serge Lutens, the essences always end up confessing themselves!

*Serge Lutens perfumes offer a dual option for applying the perfume: for purists, by applying with the finger (bottle cap)/for more convenience, by using a spray tip
