Launched in 2015 by Serge Lutens and perfumer Christopher Sheldrake, La Religieuse EDP is a contemplative, unisex floral fragrance inspired by solemn, spiritual themes. Its notes include jasmine, bergamot, green lily, incense, musk, and a whisper of civet. The opening is fresh and smooth, with jasmine and muted bergamot blending into a soft green lily accord, evoking late winter’s emergence. As it dries, a resinous incense lingers subtly, contrasting the solemn florals with a gothic, meditative aura. Described as a scent of solitary prayers in foggy mornings, La Religieuse is approachable yet introspective, with moderate sillage, ideal for cold, dreary days or those seeking a serene, floral musk.
A fragrance tester is an entirely new, unused product that has never been sprayed. These testers are genuine, fresh, and 100% original, featuring the exact same fragrance as the full-priced version. Manufacturers produce testers, which might come in simple packaging and lack decorative caps. As a result, they are offered at a lower price, and we pass those savings directly to you.
