A black mass where the voices are low, & soft as silk. A ritual, an image: slim fingers carefully slip the stocking up the leg, from ankle to thigh... The woman alone, scented with a blend of powdery iris and hyacinth, keeps our attention. The iridescence of a dragonfly's wing. Our Fragrance Expert says: ' In Bas de Soie, Lutens uses the cool, earthy & aloof note of iris to evoke the feel of silk stockings (from which it takes its name). Aldehydes & galbanum add a fierce & bitter edge to the powdery iris, helping to create a perfume that is appropriate for the boardroom as much as it is the bedroom.'
