Lumière Elle

A very good budget-friendly alternative to the Stellar Times fragrance! I have Stellar Times in my collection, so I can compare the two scents directly. Of course, Stellar is richer, more long-lasting, and louder. However, Lumiere Elle is no slouch either! While it’s not as long-lasting as the original, its price is 12 times lower, so expecting it to perform like a €500 fragrance might be unrealistic. That said, their scents are very similar—I’d say about 80–85% alike. Especially in the sillage, I think most people wouldn’t notice much difference. So, it’s quite a worthy option! For those who don’t want to splurge or are looking for a fragrance in a similar direction, Lumiere Elle is a solid choice. By the way, on my skin, I don’t get any soapy notes from this Arabian perfume, whereas the original does give off a slight soapiness on my skin. In conclusion, it’s up to you to decide, but in my opinion, this bottle is definitely worth having!

This is a stunning perfume! It is very perfumey, so you have to like that kind of scent DNA to enjoy this. The scent is spicy, warm, and ambery. Sophisticated and classy. I have not smelled the OG that this is duping but I love this as a stand alone fragrance that I am not willing to shell out the money to try the overpriced LV version. This lasts 6-8 hours on me with moderate projection. Love it! You smell like a put together adult that is living their best life when you wear this.

What a strange fragrance, sometimes I like it in a weird way because it's very unique.. and sometimes I think it smells off putting, a previous reviewer said it smells staticky or ionic or something and I can definitely understand where that thought is coming from. But it reminds me of something else I can't quite put my finger on that isn't a perfume but a household object I've smelled before maybe an old electronic device or something ... It's very clean though just too clean. The notes don't really represent to me how this perfume smells I can't really make out anything individually except in the opening it's fruity. It's definitely floral but more so just generically floral. I guess you just have to try it yourself

One of my wife's favorite but I do not like it. I understand her appeal because it is a clean and fresh and she gets lots of compliments. I think it is mature and perfumy, but it has a note I can't put my finger on. It smells like static from an old TV when you would put you nose to close to it. Almost ionic. It has gotten better as the fragrance sat a few months.

Smells very much like dry (not sweet) rosé wine, which is the pink ‘girly’ wine. That’s all you need to know. What that comes across as is a fizzy, acidic, and sharp watery-musk with a very subtle astringent rose-esq nuance. Hard to explain. Overall, it’s a unique style of watery musk. Smells like the opening of Armani Si. It’s decent but not particularly nice unless you’re prompted to think of rosé wine - then the realistic smell will impress you and give you much more enjoyment for the smell. To you it may smell amusing and lovely, but to strangers it may smell kind of generically musky. I’m very happy to own this because I love all types of boozy scents, and rosé wine is my favourite wine. Unisex, very-slightly feminine leaning. Can be worn by guys. Exemplary spring fragrance, but appropriate in spring, summer, fall. Best dressed up semi-formal for daytime events. Coincidentally, this is suitable for the same situations where you’d drink chilled rosé wine.
