La dompteuse encagée, floral, almond and bright is the new eau de parfum in Serge Lutens' Collection noire. Muzzled language, moulded from a one and only way of thinking, La dompteuse encagée reminds us of the hazards of a society on the lookout for the slightest misstep. But hope lives on, in the revelation of a frangipani blossom that can be savoured... right here on the skin!

I cannot disavow this cold, white-powdered girl. Nonetheless, I sense the snow – so dreaded because expected – the coming avalanche. After what the whiteness of the flower has seen, freshness is beyond augur, but the scent of frangipani softens the blow. A taste of subtle almond, to be savoured on the skin!
