Serge Lutens 2002 EDP
Douce Amere
Serge Lutens Douce Amere is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Christopher Sheldrake. Douce Amere opens with Absinth and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Jasmine, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Sugar Cane, Cinnamon, and Vanilla. Serge Lutens's Douce Amere carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.
A truly unique Serge Lutens creation that balances sweet, herbal, and floral notes with a refined elegance. This 'bittersweet' beauty is divisive for some, but a 'love' for many who appreciate its subtle, comforting complexity.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
The green absinthe-artemisia opening keeps it spring-fresh while the cozy vanilla and sugar-cane base carries it through autumn and winter - a genuinely transitional, near all-season wear that only thins in high summer.
Best Occasions
An approachable, cozy bittersweet character with moderate sillage suits casual wear and the office, and warms nicely for a date. It is comforting rather than commanding, so less suited to formal statement settings or sport.
