For me, Tuberose is the scent of Catherine de' Medici──Serge Lutens
The "ENGRAVED BOTTLE 2011" features a special bottle, meticulously engraved one by one in Paris. This year's motif is an alluring depiction of a man and woman, inspired by traditional Indonesian shadow puppetry. Around the mid-19th century, embracing a new wave of luxury, Paris imported silk fabrics from Indonesia.
The motif, born from musings on ancient tales and the captivating allure of Indonesia, with its abundance of silk from Java, Borneo, and Sumatra, expresses an eternal pursuit of beauty transcending infinite time and space. The fragrance is "L'Eau Froide," a proud scent with strength and warmth.

The Eau de Parfum "Tubéreuse Criminelle" is a special fragrance selected annually from the Paris flagship store 'Les Salons du Palais Royal Shiseido' and bottled in an octagonal flacon, released in limited quantities worldwide.
This year's fragrance, "Tubéreuse Criminelle," captures the noble scent of "Tuberose," which blooms more intensely at night. This flower, with its milky-white, creamy petals, evokes the pale-skinned women depicted by Lutens.
