Serge Lutens - Gratte-Ciel Collection Cuir Mauresque

Leaving Andalusia, the Moors claimed they were leaving paradise. What they left behind was indeed an iconic fragrance, an elegant and sophisticated leather tanned with acacia bark, which takes us back to a past rich in conquests, culture, and refinement.

"Moresco. When the Moors occupied Cordoba, the leathers had a particular smell: animal hides were tanned using acacia bark!" - 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 refusal?
What more radical line would be allowed to demonstrate my relentless will? Wasn't it 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 inherent in me. The indescribable sensuality I enclose is already too eloquent."
"Go back to being silent," I tell it. "Leather is not glass and will confess what you love to keep silent."
