Serge Lutens - Gratte-Ciel Collection Oak

A symbol of royalty. The oak tree has been very important in French history. Serge Lutens used rum absolute to recreate this exceptional, iconic woody note and add a comfortable and elegant masculine element.

"The French Revolution didn't just decapitate the king, it also felled the emblematic oak... By deduction, the king of woods! Oak has many connotations: oak barrels filled with rum, ancient dwellings, floors worn smooth by the footsteps of aristocrats. It is tannin that is used to create its aroma. Like the sap of the oak, it is at the heart of this fragrance" - Serge Lutens

"Higher and higher!"
While everyone was calling this new collection "signature," a series of questions buzzed in my head. Besides black, what other color could be attributed to a rejection?
What more radical line would be allowed to demonstrate my relentless will? Was it not the armor compared to the knight whose task in battle is to wear it?
The bottle speaks to me and says: "Do not alter the perfection within me. The indescribable sensuality I contain is already too eloquent."
"Go back to being silent," I tell it. "Skin is not glass, and it will confess what you love to keep silent."
