L'orpheline is a heavenly, lonely, and familiar fragrance from the Collection Noire by Serge Lutens. All the mystique of incense. Like an orphan, it plays with the grayness of past wounds. Layer by layer, it peels off, turning into fine dust what once was bark. 'Fragile yet steadfast. A name that seems to break in two parts. However, its first two syllables evoke Orphée (Orpheus), who had the gift to enchant even stones.' Serge Lutens. A perfume line created by Serge Lutens in his own image. Minimalistic, straightforward, angular, and uncompromising, each of his flacons reflects the urgency and character of its creator with its absolutist purity. A sobriety that emphasizes the richness and opulence of the fragrances, whose compositions and colors are as numerous and nuanced as jewels or our personalities. For over 20 years, perfumer Serge Lutens has been developing iconic, genderless fragrance creations that refer to his personal memories: From 'Féminité du bois' to 'Ambre sultan' to 'La fille de Berlin,' each perfume tells its unique poetic story.
