‘Sandalwood with a capital S, in full size!
“Oboedi silentiis meis non imperii”: “Obey not my commands, but my silence.” The powdery dark chocolate accents cause the sandalwood note to sink deeper and deeper into the velvety soft base note.’ Serge Lutens
With Santal majuscule, Serge Lutens takes us back to his childhood, back to his school desk, where he sat high on a horse in his daydreams and dreamed of a fairy-tale princess...
“Lutens! Stand up!” shouts the teacher, snapping him out of his reverie...
“Why, why do you keep using capital letters for no apparent reason?” He was referring to the previous day's essay, in which Lutens had let his imagination run wild and embellished his text about the Middle Ages with ornate initials.
