Lumiere Noire

BLACK CANDY FLOSS MADE OF ROSES Rose entwined with woody patchouli but with not long enough longevity. It opens so beautifully, like stepping into lovely fragrance floral mainly sugared rose and warm, powdery, woody patchouli cloud. Something about it makes it nearly oriental but is light one. It's like resting after enjoyable time on a warm patchouli bench in the rose garden still eating candy floss during dry evening. In respect, the perfume is quite simple, doesn't develop much but it's well balanced. I enjoy the fragrance a lot, got compliments even from women but the longevity is pitiful, even layering does not help. Despite its shortcoming, I still cherish the moments of happiness every time I spray this perfume on me.

Lumiere Noire is a gem that opens with a citrus burst that turns sweet and pleasant very quickly. The rose and patchouli dance together so well with patchouli being the leader. The amber note adds a degree of sweetness and warmth that renders the rose with a dark undertone. Yes I agree Lumiere Noire is reminiscent of something much richer and expensive which makes this the best blind buy yet. It is worth trying, for the price you get a nice bottle with a wonderful juice, definitely worth more than its cost. Longevity is great, this really last 7-8hrs on my skin, with moderate to soft sillage.

Got this today and wow this is so nice and fine. It is a modern classic. For this price it is absoulutely underrated. I love it, it`s the best I got last times. It`s not the same as Chanel or Dior, but in the same class of quality and way, but I think it stands for itself. Very, very beautiful.

This fragrance is amazing. It's rich, sensual and wearable. Blind bought it because of the Coco Mademoiselle references and it was a great deal on black friday. I've never owned a Gres perfume before and I'm so pleased, no doubt it will be a part of my permanent collection.

Oh~~I love this! I paid less than $20 for this one but smells excellent! Nicely blended rose & amber make me feel being elegant mature lady. Suitable for all season & all time. I definitely buy it again and again.
