Serge Lutens 2021 EDP
La Proie Pour L'Ombre
Serge Lutens La Proie Pour L'Ombre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Christopher Sheldrake. La Proie Pour L'Ombre opens with Fenugreek and Licorice, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Leather, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vanilla. Serge Lutens's La Proie Pour L'Ombre carries an Acquired verdict, a soft spicy-led wear.
A divisive yet distinctive beast from Lutens. This licorice-leather-vanilla syrup is either a masterpiece of dark luxury or a cloying, uninspired rehash. One thing's for sure: it's not for the faint-hearted.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A firmly cold-weather scent. The syrupy liquorice, leather, and dark vanilla read heavy and warming, which community voters place overwhelmingly in fall and winter; the sweetness turns cloying in heat, so spring is marginal and summer is a poor fit.
Best Occasions
Its strong projection and 12-hour longevity overwhelm an office, but the dark, sensual liquorice-leather-vanilla character suits date nights and formal cool-weather evenings. Casual winter wear works for those who already love the polarising profile; it lacks any freshness for sport.
