Photographer, filmmaker, fashion designer, many professions that are not really for this accomplished artist, atypical and talented. Because creativity flows in the veins of this man, who conceives perfumes as one goes on pilgrimage: in search of a sensation, an olfactory memory or an impression of déjà-vu, Serge Lutens is a perfumer of impressions.

Each of her creations tells a story, in total thirty-one olfactory narratives that you can discover or re-discover in the Salons du Palais Royal at the Valois Gallery. In this space, designed to the last detail by the perfumer, the dark orange tones and irises paneling envelop you as in a box.

For mariclarie.fr, he was willing to play the game of our interview "scented perfumer" :



If you were a flower?
I would not have legs, alas ... there I can not tell you, it would depend on the days and traps I want to reach.

If you were a book?
"The miracle of the rose" by Jean Genet.

If you were a painting?
What a table! The woman in the center with the crooked nose of "Demoiselles d'Avignon".

If you were a painter?
I would depict to understand myself.

If you were a music?
I would dance all day.

If you were someone else?
I would observe myself as long as I confuse myself

Finally if you were a fragrance?
And so that your "if" has a meaning, undoubtedly "De profundis".
