Serge Lutens 2011 EDP
De Profundis
Serge Lutens De Profundis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Christopher Sheldrake. De Profundis opens with Green and Chrysanthemum, settles into a heart of Violet and Plum, and dries down to a base of Soil Tincture and Incense. Serge Lutens's De Profundis carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.
This is a polarising masterpiece: a hauntingly beautiful, gothic floral that's either bottled melancholy or just a fancy floral. It's not for everyone, but if you're after something truly unique and emotionally resonant, it's worth seeking out - provided you can actually find a bottle.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cool-weather scent built for the soft edges of the year. The dewy green-stem and chrysanthemum opening reads like a rain-soaked garden, so wearers reach for it on grey spring days and damp autumn afternoons; the cold, watery violet heart loses its delicacy in summer heat.
Best Occasions
Its introspective, gothic-floral character suits formal evenings and contemplative date wear far better than office or sport. The damp violet and incense drydown is a personal, slightly melancholic statement rather than a crowd-pleaser, so it rewards intimate settings where its emotional weight can be felt.
