An article about Serge Lutens: Le beau sillage de Lutens by Marie-Dominique Lelièvre (L'Express)

There is an interesting article about Serge Lutens in L'Express, written by Marie-Dominique Lelièvre (in French). Some extracts (translation is mine and thus imperfect): "Si Lutens était un flacon de parfum - et il l'est, puisque son nom, justement, figure sur les fioles de verre - il serait le djinn qui s'échappe de l'élixir. L'esprit de l'air, le bon génie des contes arabes, parfumé au cèdre de l'Atlas." (If Lutens were a bottle of perfume - and he is, since his name is featured on the bottles - he would be the djinn who escapes from the elixir. The spirit of the air, good genius of the Arab tales, scented with the cedar of the Atlas.) *** "Mon choix change avec les saisons (...) Le week-end, en hiver, j'aime Bois Sépia, qui évoque la balade en forêt que je ne ferai pas. En été, Fleurs d'oranger ou Fleurs de citronnier me transporte dans le jardin oriental où je ne suis pas...» Mais c'est Ambre Sultan qui reste le best-seller de la marque, talonné par Fumerie Turque et Chêne." ("My choice changes with the seasons (...) On a weekend, in winter, I like Bois Sepia, which evokes strolls it in forest that I will not make. In summer, Fleurs d'oranger or Fleurs de citronnier transport me in the Eastern garden where I am not... " But it is Ambre Sultan which remains the best-seller of the line, followed by Fumerie Turque and Chêne.) And, the answer to the question whether Chris Sheldrake will continue working with Lutens: "Et, c'est officiel, ils continueront de travailler ensemble." ( And, it is official, they will continue to work together.) You can find the whole article at L'Express. The photo of Lutens is from L'Express.
