Serge Lutens Sarrasins is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007. Sarrasins opens with Floral Notes, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk. Serge Lutens's Sarrasins carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Sarrasins isn't just a jasmine; it's a divisive, dark floral masterpiece. You'll either swoon at its 'howling velvet' indoles and animalic depth or recoil from what some call 'stable boy' musk and 'poo smell'. This is art, and like all true art, it's not for everyone.

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

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and powerful, unconventional floral and musky accords, Sarrasins is far too bold for the office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines for date nights and formal evening events, where its mysterious and sensual character can make a lasting impression.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine night-blooming jasmine, but turned up to eleven. Sarrasins unfolds with a potent, intensely indolic jasmine that’s both narcotic and raw, underpinned by a subtle spiciness from carnation. As it settles, a deep, slightly dirty musk emerges, giving it an earthy, sensual foundation. It's a rich, dense floral with hints of something wild and unforgettable.
