By the editors · 2 min readLutèce opens on rosewood — warm and slightly resinous — before rosemary and lily of the valley shift the composition toward a softer, herbaceous-floral space. Cedar and vetiver in the heart add dry, slightly earthy contrast to the peony's tender sweetness.
The base follows a classic powdery trajectory: heliotrope and tonka bring an almond-like warmth, cinnamon adds spice without sharpness, and vanilla smooths the dry-down considerably. Musk keeps the close-skin character intimate. The overall structure is recognisably vintage in its layered femininity — powdery, lightly spiced, and warm. It wears best in cooler months when the dry-down's sweetness doesn't feel heavy.
