Baptism by fire is a biblical symbol, a sacred ritual, meaning complete cleansing from sins and repentance. It inspired the perfumer Serge Lutens to create the fragrance Serge Lutens Bapteme du Feu, which reflects the feelings of the creator, the fluidity of his emotions, like liquid wax poured into a mold, it acquires certain features and its original incarnation. An extraordinary combination of rare tonalities in the oriental composition can be appreciated only by true gourmets, true owners of the finest taste.

The fragrant melody opens with a spicy and slightly burning sound of hot ginger with a predominance of delicate powdery notes. The heart of the perfume plays with bitter undertones of sunny, invigorating tangerine and leathery nuances of seductive castoreum with tar shades. In the trail of the composition, the warmth of dry woody chords, enriched with fragrant accents of velor osmanthus, is felt.
