Luminous

Light, fresh and beautiful. Very pretty and delicate. Love it. The more I wear it, the more prominent the pineapple note becomes but I really like the pineapple- it's a little bit different!

Luminous is the kind of perfume that walks into the room whispering, “I’m soft, I’m gentle, I’m ethereal,” and then proceeds to smell exactly like the prettiest girl in sixth form who always had perfectly straightened hair and a pink flip phone. The opening hits like a peach that’s been dipped in moonlight. It’s fruity, it’s fresh, it’s slightly sparkly - like someone carbonated a flower. For a moment you think, “Oh, this is lovely,” and then the florals arrive with the energy of a bridesmaid who’s had one too many prosecco's. The heart is all soft petals and polite sweetness, the kind of scent that says, “I don’t start drama, but I do observe it from the corner with a knowing smile.” It’s pretty, it’s pink, it’s giving “I own three different pastel cardigans.” Then the dry down hits and suddenly you smell like a clean, freshly moisturised angel. The musk is so soft it’s practically whispering. The vanilla is trying its best to be seductive but ends up sounding like, “Would you like a cup of tea?” It’s charming. It’s harmless. It’s the perfume equivalent of a rom‐com where nothing bad ever happens and everyone has glossy hair. Do I feel luminous wearing it? Not really. I feel like I should be floating around a garden party offering people mini cupcakes.

This is a well blended, very fruity, girly composition with floral heart, where jasmin and freesia are dominant and with soft, warm base with sandalwood the most prominent there softened by raspberry. Well blended because you cant really say its a pineapple scent, its definitely there but nicely blended with bergamot, apple, melon and floral notes. It gives you nice aura and is long lasting on me - 7h and I can still clearly smell in around me. Perfect for summer, carefree, girly scent and not does not turn chemical. And although its arguably not the most original composition, its a safe, showergel-fruity option of good quality. I like it even though it does not suit me.

Luminous is an interesting perfume. Something that I initially loved, then really liked, but it's settled down more into an appreciation. It's a strange floral-fruity concoction; it has a mixture of sweet and sharp tones, with neither being really dominant (although to my nose, it leans slightly to the zestier side). The thing I like most about it is it manages to leave an impression on you with the little kicks of fruitiness, the pineapple and green apple being the most predominant of the top notes. There's also a persisent lingering of the melon for me, which I love. Definitely light enough to be wearable for day to day basis.

Bright and fruity - it grabs your attention. I'm in two minds about this one. I like smelling this perfume, but I'm not sure if wearing it suits me. It's not elegant - just a bit of youthful fun.
