Serge Lutens Louve is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007. Louve opens with Fruity and Almond, settles into a heart of Musk, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Resin, Amber, and Vanilla. Serge Lutens's Louve carries a Statement verdict, an almond-led wear.

Louve is for almond lovers, pure and simple. This one divides opinion quite sharply, with some finding it a comforting dream and others identifying notes of "public bathroom cleaner" or "cherry cough syrup." Still, a unique experience if you're game.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Given its moderate sillage and often described 'soft' nature, Louve is quite versatile for casual wear and suitable for a date. However, its heavy almond-gourmand character can be too sweet for formal settings or too prominent for the office if oversprayed. It’s certainly not for sport.

About

Louve (meaning 'she-wolf', not 'love') opens with a potent, sometimes bitter, almond note, often taking on a cherry-like or amaretto nuance. This rich, nutty start gradually mellows into a powdery heart of soft musk and subtle florals like rose and jasmine. The drydown is a comforting, sweet embrace of vanilla, amber and resin, leaving a warm, clean, yet often polarising skin scent. It’s an interesting take on oriental vanilla, leaning heavily into gourmand territory.
