The irresistible beauty of the Givenchy woman
In 2011, Lutens then afflicts us with a real carnation wrath, the elegantly named Vitriol d'Œillet. The carnation flower carries with it a whole imagination as positive as it is controversial as this Vitriol of Carnation, so it seemed that the meeting between the mythical duo Sheldrake-Lutens and this little obsolete flower was inevitable… For our greatest pleasure of course!
The Angry Flower by Serge Lutens: Vitriol d'Œillet
"Vitriol d'œillet is an angry perfume" announces Serge Lutens with a gentle irony. The tone is set, the perfume is launched right in the head of the one who will know… not to avoid it! A pair of Lutens slaps cannot be refused?
So inevitably, one could advance the sledgehammer argument that Lutens makes of Lutens and that he will never name a perfume with charming names like the flower or the spice he uses. Because Lutens perfumery is like that, we love it or hate it, but if we love it, we love it for what it is and not for marketing tricks. What if provocation was one, after all? What does it really matter! Carnation Vitriol is not designed for lovers of floral romance, it is loud, powerful and snap like the snap of a slap. It floats in the air like a perfume of revolution ...
And yet despite its apparent violence, Vitriol d'œillet also knows how to be elegant by reminding us of the carnation in the buttonholes of our precious dandies such as the much loved Oscar Wilde. Or the terrible Doctor Jekyll? Vitriol d'œillet has fun playing our doubles and opposites, Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde who sleep in each of us.
Vitriol d'Œillet or the peppery flowery scent of Lutens?
Carnation Vitriol is powerful, powerfully charming, and powerfully dangerous too. Then the Lutens bottle is flushed with purple tones as if to better stun our mistrust of a few romantic sweets.
Yet from the outset, the pink berries pluck us with their tender and fragrant peppers in this Vitriol of carnation which locks itself in us as if to trap us. Then the floral heart ignites with the famous carnation with spicy facets like a clove that sinks into a very pretty rose. The ultimate blow will be the powerful black pepper accompanied by a horde of dynamic notes of vetiver and cedar. Fortunately, sandals and patchoulis help us to recover from this "scented blow" by coating us with their deep sensuality.
"I will tell you everything my child: take a carnation, cayenne pepper in sufficient quantities my faith. Push in the good, in the center of itself with cloves then, before taking action, to conclude, increase that with a pair of slaps offered by the wallflower. »Serge Lutens for Vitriol d'œillet.
Vitriol d'œillet, this beautiful oriental with a strong character, knows how to be as virulent as it is tender and charming. This modern day dandy plays with our nerves to better surprise us and throw us a flowery vitriol that makes us totally dependent on his supernatural powers. Vitriol d'œillet is loved or hated but in any case cannot be ignored.
