About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

L'Eau Froide by Serge Lutens (2011) is a unisex oriental woody fragrance that opens with a striking blend of sea water, mint, and incense, accented by olibanum, ginger, vetiver, musk, and pepper. This top-heavy composition delivers an immediate rush of aromatic freshness with a spicy, marine edge. The heart and base notes are not specified, but the listed accords—aromatic, fresh spicy, amber, green, marine, and warm spicy—suggest a dry, resinous undertone that lingers subtly.

Collectors who appreciate unconventional fresh scents will find L'Eau Froide compelling. Its cold, incisive opening evokes a gust of sea air over incense, making it ideal for those who enjoy aromatic woody profiles with a mineral twist. It suits wearers seeking a unisex fragrance that balances freshness and depth, perfect for daytime or transitional weather. As a discontinued Lutens release, it holds appeal for completists and those drawn to the house's more austere, non-gourmand experiments.

中文簡介

Serge Lutens L'Eau Froide(2011)係一款中性東方木質調香水,前調以海水、薄荷同乳香為主,加上乳香脂、生薑、香根草、麝香同胡椒,營造出清涼、辛辣又帶海洋氣息嘅開端。雖然中調同基調無明確列出,但從主調(芳香、清新辛辣、琥珀、綠意、海洋、溫暖辛辣)可以推斷,佢有陣乾爽嘅樹脂底蘊,低調咁延續落去。

呢支香水適合鍾意非傳統清新調嘅收藏家。佢嘅冰冷前調好似海風吹過乳香,啱晒鍾意芳香木質、帶礦物感嘅人。中性設計,日常或轉季用都合適。作為已停產嘅 Lutens 作品,對追求完整系列或者欣賞品牌簡約、非美食調實驗嘅香水愛好者嚟講,值得留意。
