Serge Lutens has created a collection that treats the flacon itself as a work of art. Each bottle in Royaume des Lumières is encased in an elaborate rectangular composition of geometric patterns and decorative flourishes, rendered in precise serigraphic technique. The designs incorporate symmetrical motifs in gilt and deep burgundy, framed by sharp black geometric borders that speak to Art Deco sensibilities reimagined through an oriental lens.
The three fragrances within this collection are Zurafa, Cachepot de Lumières and Bois roi d’agalloche. Each flacon contains liquid amber and deeper, richer tones of liquid, visible through the crystalline glass. The black spherical stopper sits crowned atop each bottle, finished with a thin band of gold at its base. The geometry of the label work repeats across all three bottles, creating a unified visual language while each fragrance maintains its own identity.
What distinguishes these flacons is the deliberateness of their ornamentation. Every serigraphic layer has been applied by hand, meaning each bottle carries minute variations in the precision of its decoration. The interplay of light through the layered glass and printed surface creates depth and movement, transforming the perfume bottle from a mere vessel into an object worthy of display.
Serge Lutens fragrances are available through the brand’s official channels and select luxury retailers globally.
