Das NUVO Magazin besuchte den legendären Parfümeur Serge Lutens in seinem palastartigen Riad in Marrakesch. Der Duftimpresario sprach mit dem Magazin offen über sein Leben und Werk.
Grant HARDER c/o MAKING PICTURES fotografierte den bereits zu Lebzeiten legendären Serge Lutens für die Coverstrecke des NUVO Magazins. Der 1942 in Lille gebürtige Lutens sieht Marokko inzwischen als zweite Heimat und ist so vielseitig interssiert wie talentiert : Makeup Artist, Fotograf, fFlmmaker, Creative Director und nicht zuletzt Interior Designer.
Über sein einzigartiges Gebäude, das zu keiner Zeit sein Wohnsitz war, lesen wir im Heft : “Lutens has created this palatial house but has never lived in it, choosing rather to live in a conservative home in the palm grove. “Owning does not interest me,” he says, and he has secured the Serge Lutens Foundation its future as a museum. While “legacies are for kings and gods,” Lutens hopes to leave ‘un bon souvenir’ (a good memory), vowing not to abandon the people who work for him even after he dies. ‘That is the spirit of this foundation. Those who have lived this story with me can continue to live it, and keep it in their memory.’ The enigma that is Serge Lutens reminds us that his fragrances are a search for identity – in himself, one he does not always understand.”
