Fils de joie
Night-blooming jasmine brings fuller white-floral brightness into a deeper nocturnal setting.
Fils de Joie brings together flowers opening after dusk and laughter that cannot be contained. Introduced in 2020, its name means “son of joy,” placing pleasure beside the pain and shadows that can remain within it. Serge Lutens’ words connect that scene with the brightness of flowers unfolding into the night.
Night-blooming jasmine is the central note. Its fuller white-floral character expresses the intensity of flowers opening after sunset, joining brighter petals with a deeper, more enveloping impression. The fragrance keeps the flower vivid within its nocturnal setting, allowing floral richness and the quieter atmosphere of dusk to form its central contrast and texture.
Consider it for evening outings when a fuller white-floral presence suits the clothing or occasion. This is a suggestion from its inspiration. The illustrated 100mL Eau de Parfum has tall rectangular clear glass, a black rounded stopper and reddish-purple liquid. Its black anniversary label carries the house’s twentieth-anniversary Arabic-inspired pattern.
