Eleganza Luminosa

This is absolutely divine. I dont normally like anything too citrusy or anything with too much floral and I would never buy a FB of this based on the description and notes because it just doesnt sound like something i would love, but wow this is so pretty yet timelessly sophisticated at the same time. The fruits and flowers are so seamlessly blended into one another, my nose is having an orgasm every time i breathe in. Im not sure how to actually describe to you how this smells, but it first and foremost reminded me of Coco mademoiselle, which i like, but this a softer version with maybe a touch more sweetness. Get a sample if you can and try this, I was really pleasantly surprised and I will now have to buy a bottle :)

I bought this at a niche perfume store in Paris at the beginning of a semester in Europe and proceeded to wear it, and only it, for 8 years until I felt it was time for a change. Having plunged into the deep end of niche perfume discovery, I sometimes wear this to reminisce on a time when I actually had a signature scent. It lacks some poetry, but that’s probably why I was able to consistently reach for it over such a long period. It’s androgynous without making a point of it. I remember feeling comforted by traces of it on my turtleneck sweaters. Cedar, bergamot, and that moderate uplifting/clean floral smell, so dependably delivered by a freesia accord.

I REALLY like this, it is a very likable, elegant and feminine fresh floral perfume, with loads of freesia and citruses on the top, followed by smooth and sweetened rose and musk. Dries down to a very pretty musky base. Even though this is not unique, it is very much worth a try. It has a very good silage. I would really justify buying a FB of this pretty floral, but I have a certain "5 hour rule". Eleganza Luminosa dissapears from my skin within 3 hours. On clothes though it lingered for around 10 hours.

Another wonderful creation by Egon Oelkers. The same as eo02 by biehl.pw that I’m in love with, this is very special and impressive for me. Complicated and divine. For very special occasions. Distinctive, creamy with unbelievably wonderfully balanced woody notes. In my opinion much better than “Amouages” but the style is a little bit similar.

I have to agree with alfarom here - much as I enjoy this scent, I can't help but feel that it's been done before and a similar fragrance can be found for a much lower price. Scents such as this remind me of champagne - sparkling, light, golden yellow in colour, fruits blending with florals. Very wearable, very pretty, superbly feminine. Projection is minimal on me and longevity isn't great at only 4 hours or so. I often think that the benefit of having so many similar fragrances is that we can each choose the one which leans towards our particular preference, so that we may wear variations on a theme. The question then is whether you want to pay £145 for this variation or hold out for one that may only cost you £50.
