"Inspiration is not something that comes in a flash. It is there within us and belongs to all. Nothing is less inspired than a suddenly inspired person! The components are already there inside you: elements, scents, colors, shapes… and when they express themselves you realize they have always been present. In fact, all my perfumes are sixty six years old!"
- From
Serge Lutens' interview for Victoria Forlova of
Bois de Jasmin.
Another interesting quote from the interview:
"The great problem of commercial perfumery is that people keep buying it!"
Read my interview for Fragrantica - so beautifully illustrated by Elena Knezevic and with thought-provoking questions by their olfactory oracle, Hieronimuss.
