About this fragrance

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

Profundis, launched in 2011, is a unisex floral fragrance from Serge Lutens that stands apart for its striking green and earthy composition. The listed notes include chrysanthemum, green notes, violet, soil tincture, incense, and plum tree, creating a scent that evokes a damp garden after rain—crisp, cool, and rooted. The soil tincture adds a distinctive petrichor effect, while incense lends a subtle smokiness. With main accords of green (100%), herbal (89%), violet (84%), earthy (79%), woody (71%), and powdery (68%), it leans decidedly towards the natural and melancholic rather than the sweet or conventional.

Collectors who appreciate unconventional, atmospheric florals will find Profundis compelling. It suits those who enjoy green, earthy scents with a powdery violet undertone, and it works well in cooler weather or for introspective moments. As a discontinued release, it is a sought-after piece for Serge Lutens enthusiasts and anyone drawn to fragrances that feel like a walk through a shadowed, verdant landscape. Its complexity and rarity make it a noteworthy addition to a curated collection.

中文簡介

Serge Lutens Profundis(2011)係一款中性花香調香水,但絕非傳統甜美路線。香調表包括菊花、綠葉、紫羅蘭、土壤酊劑、乳香同梅樹,營造出雨後濕潤花園嘅氣息——清新、涼爽、帶泥土感。土壤酊劑賦予獨特嘅潮土油效果,乳香則添上若隱若現嘅煙燻感。主調以綠色(100%)、草本(89%)、紫羅蘭(84%)、泥土(79%)、木質(71%)同粉感(68%)為主,整體偏向自然、憂鬱,而非討好大眾嘅甜香。

適合鍾意非主流、氛圍感花香嘅收藏家。呢支香啱晒喜歡綠意、泥土感同粉狀紫羅蘭底蘊嘅人,秋冬或需要沉澱思緒時使用尤其合適。作為已停產嘅作品,Profundis 對 Serge Lutens 粉絲同追求獨特嗅覺體驗嘅藏家來講,係一件值得留意嘅珍品。
