Remember we had talked about the Paris exclusive bell-jar coming out of Le Palais Royal de Shiseido in September back when we had announced both Lutens releases for this year? The other was of course the stupendous Santal Majuscule, for the export market.
Une Voix Noire by Serge Lutens (a black voice) is finally out for purchase in Paris and online at the official Lutens site, tagged with the cryptic -as always- text: "The stars rise in focus. The night sky is filled with the light of the moon." Read a bit more about it on the link provided, before we embark on a full review shortly.

I can't wait to read your review!

The name he chooses for his fragrances are...la cérise sur le gateaux!
Post your review soon, please!
I love the name and I love the text; being one of those individuals who could spend hours on my deck staring at the stars and full moon-it's a form of meditation for me! :)
ReplyDeleteI have sampled many SL (recently J de P which I love) but still don't own a full bottle!
