Name: Vitriol d'oeillet Eau de Parfum
Brand: Serge Lutens

Serge Lutens Vitriol d'oeillet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Christopher Sheldrake. Vitriol d'oeillet opens with Pimiento, Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Wallflower, Lily, Carnation, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Ylang-Ylang. Serge Lutens's Vitriol d'oeillet carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a divisive affair. Expect a sharp, spicy floral that some absolutely adore for its unique character, while others find it a challenging, even 'traumatic' experience. Definitely not a blind buy, but if you're into polarising scents, get stuck in.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Fall Winter

The spicy carnation-and-clove heart over a creamy ylang drydown reads warmest in autumn, the anchor season, with winter a natural extension. Its lightness lets it carry into cooler spring days, but the warm spice keeps it off the summer shelf.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Intimate sillage and a my-skin-but-better spicy-floral character suit casual wear and date nights well, with enough quiet sophistication for a formal evening. The pointed spice opening makes it a poor fit for the office or sport.

About

Vitriol d'oeillet opens with an unapologetic blast of warm spices - bold cloves and a medley of peppers, especially pink. This fiery introduction mellows slightly into a floral heart dominated by carnation and lily. There's an underlying creamy, almost metallic nuance, with hints of ylang-ylang bringing a subtle sweetness that balances the sharp spice, sometimes leading to a clean, soapy dry down.
