Le Parfum Lumière

This is truly a luminous tuberose. Maybe better said luminous white floral! Big, bold, beautiful white flowers layered on a warm, ambery, woody, musky, earthy, patchouli base. Opens with a beautiful sweet, juicy sweet mandarin orange mixed with bright orange blossom and creamy ylang ylang. The usual white floral trio, tuberose, jasmine and gardenia constitute the loud and vivid heart of Le Parfum Lumiere! The name fits perfectly as this juice feels sunny, warm, soft, ethereal (but not light that would disappear fast) harmonious, up lifting. The overall vibe that Lumiere gives me is something warm and bright, like a golden hour! This could be happening also because of the exquisite look of the light yellow colour of the classic Elie Saab bottle. I would say it’s in the vein of original L’Interdit by Givenchy or the new J’Adore L’Or composed also by Francis Kurkdjian. I have never owned Le Parfum or the Intense version by Elie Saab so I can’t comment on those similarities! Best suited for spring and summer season. Very feminine and underrated. I rarely see or hear anyone mentioning this. Compared with the other creation of Francis Kurkdijan for Dior, this costs a third of the price for nearly double the amount of the perfume. This is not a straight up dupe of J’Adore L’Or but it’s very similar. Good longevity and projection. A winner for me!

Having recently worn both Le Parfum and Lumière side by side, I can confidently say that while they share the same DNA, they are not identical on my skin. The original Le Parfum opens as a fresh floral. It's elegant, feminine and beautifully composed, with the flowers taking centre stage from the very beginning. As it develops, it remains soft, graceful and effortlessly pretty. Lumière, on the other hand, opens much brighter to my nose. I immediately get a fresh citrus sparkle that the original lacks. As it settles, it becomes a gorgeous amber citrus, white floral fragrance before eventually transforming into a warm amber drydown. This is where it truly shines for me. Many reviews describe Lumière as lighter than the original, but I actually find it richer and more radiant. There is a warmth running throughout the fragrance that keeps drawing me back. I enjoy both, but Lumière has become my signature scent. It's one of the few perfumes I've completely used up and repurchased without hesitation. Every time I wear it, it feels like sunshine on warm skin and flowers blooming in bright summer light. If you love the original, I think Lumière is well worth trying. Don't dismiss it as a simple flanker. Give it time on the skin and allow it to develop. That's where the magic happens.

Francis Kurkdjian understands this line perfectly, it is seen that almost all the flankers and the original creation are his author and this Le parfum Lumiere fulfills what it promises but it is not a dim luminosity, it is a jet of light, bright and intense, while Le parfum edp showed us one offiner facets of orange blossom (for me, my favorite perfume with this note) here the white floral ensemble is overwhelming, although from its opening we feel the DNA "Elie Saab Le parfum" quickly mutates to something more daring and modern, I would dare to say that it is halfway to some flanker from Alien with some from L'interdit, a perfect mix of these trendy white florals with their ambroxanic touch (quite measured) and with a Ylang-Ylang that makes the difference here and contributes its tropical yellow floral part but without stealing the spotlight from the white flowers. In short, a flanker worthy of the line some may not like (I personally loved it) with outstanding performance by current standards, excellent work by Kurkdjian and once again I can say that I do not know an Elie Saab fragrance that does not have highquality, a applause for the talented Lebanese designer who has managed to maintain his line of perfumes with a high standard

This was a blind buy for me. This feels like a mix between Alien eau Extraordinaire and Coco Mademoiselle with a bit of No.5 into it. It has that uplifting feeling like Alien eau Extraordinaire(without the Alien DNA) and it's sophisticated like CM. It's not a dupe for any of them. I don't understand why both options got downvoted as the suggestions are for similar perfumes, as the title suggests, not exact clones. There is certainly a similarity to both of them. Alien eau Extraordinaire is sweeter/frutier and doesn't have that strong Ylang Ylang note. CM has lots of similar notes, but it's more citrusy and the Ylang Ylang is less strong. If you like these 2 you'd probably enjoy Le Parfum Lumiere too. For me the Ylang Ylang note is very strong in this perfume and it reminded me a bit of Chanel no.5, but they have nothing else in common. It has a strong sillage and medium longevity. I used 2 sprays on my mom, you could feel it withing arm's length in the first 2-3h, after that it started to fade and it became more intimate. I could no longer smell it on her after 6h.

A soft delicious citrus, smooth, bright, gently sweet, as they said “the fragrance of bright ray of sunshine”, to me it’s more of a ray of sunshine of the afternoon/evening rather morning, but it still works. It has an element of sharpness, maybe it’s the jasmine. It’s beautifully floral like a citrus scented bouquet. Elegant yet laidback. Like a Mediterranean sunlight. Despite being’s bright it’s also grounded. When it dries down it gets warmer and earthy, almost bitter. Imagine you’re sitting on a balcony mid spring or early summer, wearing a cotton garment, the gentle orange warm light of the afternoon/evening sun is hitting your skin, sparrows are chirping, you have a citrus tree that peeks into your balcony, with a warm citrus scented breeze as you sip your tea. I didn’t expect to love it this much, truly a visual masterpiece to me. As for the longevity I’m still experimenting with it, I just got a sample so my experience will be limited.

Elie Saab and Francis Kurkdjian are a collaboration that can do no wrong, at least as far as I'm concerned. They have created some stunners already but this is by far my favourite from the Le Parfum line. I ordered myself a 50ml plus 10ml gift set without hesitation and have already ordered another for the stash drawer ❤️ This is smoother, creamier than the OG and is blended to perfection. I think warmer weather will bring the tuberose, gardenia and amber notes forward. She's strong, beautiful, swoon worthy, lasting through the whole day on skin and far beyond on clothing. She will definitely be noticed by anyone within 6ft. As with others from the Le Parfum line, this probably won't be around forever. So if you love this as I do, I recommend getting yourselves a back up bottle or two 💕 😊

The orange blossom and Orange fruit are so strong, in the best possible way, the smell is unique, vibrant, fruity/floral and sexy, there is a pleasant mid-tone musk in the background. You need the attitude and confidence to wear this fragrance, or perhaps the fragrance will make you feel assertive, it is really intense so I would recommend for the Autumn/Winter season only, the price point is surprisingly good for such a long lasting fragrance, It smells expensive and the aroma will announce your presence in the room, I wear it for work but to be honest, it is not an adequate place for it, if you over spray, you will make people sick, to me it is more for a night out, special occasion or a walk in the city during a frosty evening. Lasts for ever 9 hrs +, I love it

This is a gorgeous daytime perfume that smells like freshly-brewed, high-quality fragrant jasmine tea with a slice of lemon. I audibly gasped in the store. The manufacturer's notes class this as a chypre fragrance which I think is more accurate than oriental floral listed here - there's a wonderfully tannic characteristic on my skin that is so clean and vibrant, this is completely missing on a test strip. The white flower bouquet may read narcotic or vintage for some people; others may have an issue with the citrus developing into a dish-detergent smell, this is a problem I tend to have with citrus-forward fragrances but this one doesn't do that. Projection is about arm's length, with moderate sillage. Longevity on my skin is over 7 hours

Wore this one for the first time today. Bought two gift sets of Elie Saab Lumiere because I was sure I would love this, and fortunately it turns out I wasn't wrong. This is really gorgeous. The mixture of every single note in this results in a perfect! sweet, fruity and flowery scent, that lasts many hours and automatically lifts my mood. The colour of the bottle matches the scent, I think. It is a bright/luminous, "sunshiny" perfume. The mandarin orange note, makes all the difference for me and makes it just amazing and such a joy to wear. Suitable for all ages.

I tried it today and I think it's about 80% similar to the original, I have L'Intense version and for the few hours I was wearing it, I kept forgetting this was the new one and thought I was wearing mine. It's like version 1.3, if we count Le Parfum, then L'Intense and lastly Lumiere. The name fits as it does feel sunnier, fresher, overall less heavy (maybe the no-Honey effect) but to me the DNA remains the same, While floral, Ylang, Amber with a touch of smokiness from the Patchouli. Projection and longevity are pretty good like its predecessors.

I tested this a few months ago, then I thought the opening was nice, but the dry down did not impress me at all. It was almost stuffy and old fashioned in my opinion. I forgot about this parfum for a while. But now, I have been testing again, and this time I love this scent, all the way. Interesting floral, woody musky base, softly lingering and comforting. Scent for all seasons. This reminds me to give time to scents and always try again!

FK did it again... Uplifting,airy,and very feminine scent. As owner of original and Royal flankers, Lumiere is really a scent which makes me happy. Such uplifting and so beautiful scent with amazing silage and longevity💫 main star of this flanker is definitely orange bloosom very well blended with jasmine, dry down perfectly done musk and patchouli, very gentle and pleasant. To me, this is a sunshine in the bottle in Elie Saab way🌞

I fell in love with this fragance Blind buy 🙈 success 😍 It feels mature to me, like something my mom would wear but it's very bright and feminine, it feels quite elegant too. Really anyone can wear it. After a few minutes this fragance reminded me so much of Scandal By Night, but a lighter, brighter, fresher summer version. This could definitely be a Scandal flanker This is forever, so much depth. I love it so so much.

Very good. Very well balanced, pretty, elegant and feminine. Perfect for Spring/Summer. It is actually luminous, like they describe it. I smell the jasmine sambac, the white floral combo and the ylang ylang for sure. Lasts for a long time and then i get the ambery woods. It's creamy, soft and sweet. Brings like a harmony state of mind, because it's cozy. Very good projection and longevity. A winner, for me.

This is available in Europe, I absolutely adore this. It’s incredible. It’s similar to the original but added Gardenia and Tuberose. It’s a truly stunning fragrance. As soon as I saw FK was the perfumer I had to add it to my Elie Saab collection. The longevity is great And the through is fabulous. stunningly beautiful flanker, I hope they keep bringing ones like this out on the market. ❤️❤️❤️

Oooh, I want it!! It smells like a brighter or 'sunnier' version of Le Parfum Intense (huge pity they discontinued it) so I might get it as its 'replacement'. The orange blossom is prominent (typical Le Parfum) but I don't see any resemblance with Alien or La vie est belle Soleil Crystal (no coconut at all). The vibe this scent gives me is something warm and bright, like a golden hour!

I don’t know why this has such bad reviews, it’s my favourite from the line! Lumiere has remnants of the original Elie Saab and the Royal, but to me it’s so much better because I’m not one for girly fresh perfumes. It has amber and patchouli and Jasmin so it is deeper than the original and more interesting to me. Smelt it once and bought the 90ml bottle!

Smells beautiful!! This one does not disappoint, great sillage and lasts for a long time.I first bought a sample of Lumiere and had to buy a full bottle. Love it! Perefct for Spring, Summer, day or night. I wasnt a massive fan of the original Le Perfume but this flanker is one of my favourite perfumes, yet other reviewers say they are very similar!

a dream; a sophisticated, hyper-realistic animalic white floral: smells so raw, real, carnal, yet incredibly yet refined and classy. pure sensual jasmine. my physical reaction upon smelling this was intense, i closed my eyes and took a breath in with intense bliss and euphoria! don’t even try other white florals, run to Elie Saab!

When I first spray it, it's much like the original, but once it starts settling, it's lighter, more soft version. The musk really comes through after a few hours of wear. Long lasting, and silliage is amazing. Elie saab collection is by far my favourite perfumes. I have repurchased most of them once finished.
