Serge Lutens La Religieuse Eau de Parfum 100ml is a refined, contemplative unisex jasmine fragrance from the legendary French niche house, launched in 2015. Created by long-time house perfumer Christopher Sheldrake, the composition centres on a luminous, slightly soapy jasmine — supported by incense, musk and a softly animalic civet facet, evoking the quiet, contemplative atmosphere suggested by its name (French for "the nun").

Who it's for
La Religieuse is genuinely unisex — equally at home on men and women drawn to refined, slightly mystical jasmine fragrances. The composition reads as quietly luxurious rather than projecting loudly, with the soapy-incense facet giving it a meditative, contemplative quality. Best year-round, particularly suited to spring and autumn, and a natural pick for fans of niche perfumery and serious jasmine compositions.
How to use
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, the base of the neck and behind the ears — from around 15 cm away.
- Apply sparingly; the EDP develops over many hours and projects subtly close to the skin.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists; the jasmine-incense accord develops more elegantly when left undisturbed.
