“The Girl from Berlin” is Serge Lutens’s third tribute to the rose, and his second to the divas of yesteryear after the Palais Royal exclusive Une Voix Noire, inspired by Billie Holliday. This time, the model remains unnamed, but she is obviously a creature of the decadent 1920s in Berlin: a sleek-legged, smoky-eyed femme fatale. Louise Brooks as the amoral Lulu in Pandora’s Box, a pre-Hollywood Marlene Dietrich crooning “Men cluster to me like moths around a flame” in The Blue Angel. And how couldn’t theyà This angel is not blue, but as red as the petals of a blood-gorged rose. Here, the flower is expressed at its richest: you can almost taste its jamminess, lifted with metallic hints of pink and black pepper. But its velvety flesh is also a woman’s, musky, honeyed and dark. A riveting, take-no-prisoners sillage monster, La Fille de Berlin is Lutens at the top of his flamboyant form. So femme a man could rock it. So true to the flower no rose lover should be without it. So good it could even convert therose-averse. 1.6 oz. Made in France.
Dissimilar though they may be, these fragrances all have something in common: they are the progeny of Serge Lutens’ imagination. He watched over their development, session after session, from conception to the moment of their birth, when they were first used to fill a Serge Lutens spray bottle. The quality of these fragrances is remarkable.
Small and ultra-portable, they can either be applied with the stopper for the sheer elegance of the gesture or sprayed on for ease and convenience.
