Le Participe Passe Perfume by Serge Lutens, Although, the scent was released in 2018, Le Participe Passe, which translates to the past participle,was created in order to evoke feelings of the past. The top notes of artemisia and bergamot are at once floral and a little sharp from the citrus addition. In the middle, more fruit is balanced with the spiciness of pepper. Finally, the base notes of Egyptian balsam and leather anchor the scent, while the additional notes of caramel and cumin evoke familiar smells of sweet treats and the warm comfort of a favorite meal. This is a heavy perfume with long longevity and sillage.
