An improbable, paradoxical and elegant perfume. Serge Lutens reflects on the well-known French expression La Proie pour l’ombre, to create a fable on those torn apart by impossible choices. Plagued by a lack of resolution, they take refuge in a world of illusions, a hall of mirrors where they chase after shadows rather than substance.
