Un bois vanille by Serge Lutens, 100 ml eau de parfum with its box

The story of Un bois vanille

Un bois vanille is one of the most famous vanillas in perfumery: a black, gourmand vanilla, woody and slightly bitter, signed Serge Lutens within the Collection noire.

Caramelised vanilla opens the composition; the heart, creamy, blends coconut milk, licorice, beeswax and tonka bean; the base, drier, reveals smoky guaiac wood, sandalwood and almond, held by a soft musk. A warm, rich, enveloping vanilla.

Composed by Christopher Sheldrake under the direction of Serge Lutens, Un bois vanille is an essential for cool days, worn from autumn to winter.

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
