4 HTF Serge Lutens Non-Export Scents Now Available in the US {Shopping Tip - Deal}

Traditionally the much sought-out house of Serge Lutens is parsimonious and deliberate in making its collection of non-export perfumes available outside of Europe. Only those lucky enough to have a pied à terre or good souls as friends in the old continent can plan on a relatively painless purchasing experience...
This fall, American aesthetes and aspiring perfumistas can rejoice as no less than four chapters from the select series usually coded HTF (hard to find) are now available at New York City perfume haunt Aedes. They are: Un Bois Sépia, Bois de Violette, Bois et Fruits and Chergui.
