Serge Lutens 2021 EDP
La Dompteuse Encagée
Serge Lutens La Dompteuse Encagée is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Christopher Sheldrake. La Dompteuse Encagée opens with Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Almond. Serge Lutens's La Dompteuse Encagée carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.
This Serge Lutens offering has really divided the crowds. Some find it a realistic tropical dream, a frangipani soliflore that transports them to sun-drenched islands. Others think it's a screechy, synthetic floral that smells like shampoo or even gardenia. Love it or hate it, you can't dispute its powerful projection.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A hot-weather floral. The lush frangipani and ylang-ylang read as tropical, humid yellow florals that wearers reach for on muggy summer days and warm spring afternoons; it can carry into early autumn but loses its lift in the cold.
Best Occasions
Its bold projection and sweet tropical-floral character make it a strong pick for dates, casual warm-weather wear, and balmy evenings, while the soft soap-musk drydown keeps it from feeling formal. The loud, lush florals are a bit much for the office and too sweet for sport.
