Lumiere Blanche

This perfume has turned into such a lovely surprise. I didn't think I would like it as I am not a fan of Orange Blossom. I find it is a note more suitable to masculine based scents. On first spray it is overwhelmingly Orange Blossom but give it some time and I don't know if it is the mix with Tuberose but it becomes something really special. I could sniff my arm all day at this rate. Two hours later and there is this delightful concoction of creamy floral with the sweetest Mandarin Oranges. Holding it all together is a soft skin musk, gorgeous and perfect in every way. I am really glad I tried Lumiere Blanche and gave the Orange Blossom a chance. First perfume I have tried where the citrus Mandarin Orange takes centre stage and stays there. I love the smell of Mandarins.

This is your classic, very pretty, sunshine white floral that I enjoy very much. At first I found it's resemblance to Giorgio to be off putting, as I had grown to loathe that scent from years of over exposure in the 80s, but when I spray lightly - 2 sprays MAX - I find that the things I disliked about Giorgio fall back and the "California vibe" which I love (and is done so well by Van Cleef and Arpels "California Reverie" for more money and far less performance) comes forward. I'm an East Coast woman, wearing a French perfume, and feeling quite LA Chic while doing so. Far from necessary, but delightful to own nevertheless!

I love this scent. It smells almost like the original Giorgio which is a fragrance I love. A beautifully blended mix of orange blossom, tuberose and soft musk and the longevity is great on me. I seem to enjoy quite a few of the Gres fragrances and have good luck with my blind buys from this fragrance house.

I picked this one up in my hunt for a natural orange blossom scent. Unfortunately, the tuberose us much more dominant than the orange blossom--gives it an almost astringent quality. This is definitely safe for work but you must really like tuberose--and sharp, crisp tuberose. I'm conflicted because I like it but it's not what I was looking for when I bought it. I think the comparisons to GBH are fair but this is definitely not as sweet.

Veryvery creamy on me! The musk was nice but quit prominent second to tubereuse so I resold it. But its a nice ckean white floral, give it a try!
