Today we introduce to you the origin, characteristics, as well as worth buying styles of SERGE LUTENS this niche perfume brand.

How we distinguish niche perfume from designer perfume?

Compared to designer perfume, niche perfume is tapping into a small minority niche market. It generally uses natural and healthy fragrant ingredients, but its disadvantage appears on the long-lasting effects of fragrance. It’s generally shorter than commercial perfume. But this is not absolute. Because our Serge Lutens has three to four perfume product line, limited edition has longer fragrance scent.

The perfumers of the niche perfumes are free in their creativity. They can experience their full passion at the niche perfumes and combine ingredients that would not be possible to use in a designer fragrance.  In a designer brand company, a perfumer has to follow a business plan. Corporations are on the safe side and create fragrances, which work 100% because it has to be tailored to mass market. A niche perfume is built with lots of passion. There are no rules. Here essences are combined that are unique. High-quality and expensive ingredients are used for niche perfumes as well.

Furthermore, niche perfumes dispose a tiny marketing budget, which means less exposure comparing with designer perfume, Buyer discovers niche perfume in some specialized fragrance shop, or from some online opnions leaders.

 

The origin and Serge Lutens’ brand story

Born in Lille, Serge Lutens entered into the fashion circle by the grace of his photography talent and he has worked with these magazines : Vogue，Elle, Harper’s Bazaar. Later, thanks to his achievements in the fashion industry, Shiseido when entering the European market, chose to cooperate with Serge Lutens, and then Serge Lutens had produced his first perfume——Nombre Noir. This perfume allow him to build a very successful career in perfume making industry since 1992, some of them are very famous，like “Ambre Sultan”，”Cuir Mauresque”，etc.

In 2000, Serge Luttens created his own brand “Serge Luttens” with his own name. After decades of perfume production and olfactory work, this brand has earned some popularity and a group of loyal buyers.

The brand that embodies mostly the characteristics of niche perfume could be Serge Lutens, if we are allowed to be subjectivement speaking. Jo Malone’s fragrance appears too light and lacks a breathtaking taste, in my personal opinion.  The packaging of Diptyque is relatively less attractive, it’s a problem for the visual  preference buyer personas.
