Le Jour se Lève

I've had a sample of this one for a while. I've mostly gotten unisex or masculine samples from the Louis Vuitton store, whenever I've bought a full size bottle. I'm up to 20 samples now! I got Matiere Noire, Attrape-Reves, and Rose des Vents, as the first feminine samples, to find one for my fiance, that she loves. I bought Attrape-Reves, but in hindsight, I think Matiere Noire suits her more. We just tried a spray of this, Le Jour Se Leve, over the weekend, and Katie loved it! I forgot that the name just means the dawn, basically, the morning and sunshine and bright, uplifting scents. For some reason, I kept thinking it was more like Tom Ford Beau du Jour, and meant something like "lady of the day" or something like that, and had held that against it. But I might get this one as my next feminine LV fragrance. Then my collection will be complete (for now lol) since I'll have 10 LV bottles, and I'll be able to arrange them like bowling pins, with the one extrait in front, then the two oriental ones behind that, and then the rest. I really want Fleur Du Desert and Les Sables Rose, and Matiere Noire, Symphony, Stellar Times, L'immensite, and so many more lol I'm definitely a frag head!!!

Waking up in Italy, grapefruit orange peel freshness, dewy leaves as you stroll though an intricate rose garden, I love ISO because it makes you open your eyes wide. Years ago for my birthday I stayed in a nice house in Rome. I awoke early to birds chirping, I strolled though the peaceful residential neighborhoods filled with greenery laden with jasmine vines, up the Aventine hill to peek through the Knights of Malta keyhole: The Vatican framed by foliage in the distance, and then to the Giardini dei Aranci (the Orange Garden Rome) where I saw the sun rise over the city as I picked up fallen fruit. I walked down the otherside of the hill and came upon the Rose garden just opening for the day. Dew still on their leaves and petals. 1100 varieties of roses. After the garden, at the bottom of the hill I found a little bakery full of vanilla and sugary delights. Le Jour se Lève is that alluring memory for me.

I reach fir this mostly on the weekends or late in the afternoon during the week. I wouldn't say this is mornings at the office appropriate, just because it is super bright and uplifting. The citrus is predominant in the opening, projecting nicely for about an hour then settling down to a 3 hour clean soapy skin scent. It is beautiful and puts me in a cheerful mood, but too bright for bedtime wear for me. I have to be in a certain mood or want to be in a certain mood to reach for this. IMHO this is a female version of Imagination, packs the same kind of clean soapy punch but with a hint of vanilla and floral. I do feel it is overpriced for the DNA but also underrated in the fragrance community. In the drydown it smells like the soft Spoken daughter of Stellar Times and Imagination. I will refill the bottle when it is done, along woth both Imagination and Stellar Times.

It's not loud, but it's divine. Elegant, simple, luxury in a bottle. Sometimes, I prefer fragrances that leave a trail in the air, rather than become the air you're breathing. Not the type of fragrance to fill a room. I can still smell it on my skin after 4 hours and it sticks to clothing pretty well. I used to live in Rome near that orange grove another reviewer mentioned. Agree, it transports you to Italy; waking up early to the dewy air, walking to the local bakery making fresh citrus juices. There's something pure and ethereal about it. Most people will probably take a pass, but I find it magical and FBW.

I got a sample spray of Le Jour Se Lève and fell in love with it immediately. This is a beautiful summer sunrise in a bottle. Very fresh and light, very elegant. A perfect blend of fruits and florals. The price is high for a perfume that doesn't seem to be long lasting, at least the sample disappeared fast (but maybe because it's a sample). I did get compliments after using the tester. This could easily become my signature scent. I put this on my want list. (This is my 400th review here, maybe I should celebrate it by getting this lovely but pricy fragrance!)

Bright, invigorating citrus scent, "fancied" up with some white florals & rose and sweet vanilla . Spray it in the morning to start your day! Underrated LV scent. I don't understand it when people complain of the sillage & longevity of LV scents, it is so Beast Mode to me. 2-3 sprays will fill a room & last all day. LV fragrances seem pricey for designer scents but seriously, they are so potent and that makes it worth the price.

There are similar qualities to Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle in this one. However, I think this one is so much better. This is less sweet and has a beautiful citrus and slightly green scent that plays against the florals to create one of the my favorite perfumes. It works well as both a daytime/work fragrance and can be worn for a night out or special occasion.

Every time I wear this I get crazy compliments. It's more of a Spring/Summer scent, very fresh, but honestly I wear it to any fancy event I have to attend to regardless of the season. If you're into citrusy scents like Chanel's Eau Tendre, D&G Light Blue, TF Neroli Potofino, etc you would probably like this. It's not for everyone, so don't blind buy!

Even though I can only smell it as something vaguely citric, it smells absolutely amazing! Yet another good LV freshie that I have tested. I like it more than the others I have tested so far because the citric freshness is a bit toned down here. It smells like modest cleanliness of clothes (when sprayed on clothes).

top notes: oranges, sweet, botanical, airy (subtle), feminine middle notes: citrus, fruity, sweet, feminine, clean, powdery base notes: linear from there this is an amazing feminine citrus fragrance. Decent performance too! LV did a great job here and i think its pretty underrated. 9.5/10!!!!

Just got done with my bottle. Not sure why prople are complaining about performance, my bottle had strong juice that lasts forever. It's a lovely feminine smelling freshie, but the refills cost over $200 plus tax now and it's just not worth it. Rather just move on to something else...

Soft, pretty, citric floral w/ fresh green notes. Bright, springy, uplifting. Each time I wear this, I fight the urge to sing aloud while skipping. Evolves prettily w/ all accords remaining in play, no particular one taking center stage. A vivifying sillage to leave behind.

Citrus, yes, but it's primarily a rose fragrance to me. Beautiful and uplifting, this fruity floral has good lasting power. It's sweeter and more feminine than California Dream, with more rose and vanilla than fresh citrus. Absolutely beautiful feminine scent.

I get so much compliments when I wear it and it’s definitely unisex and not at all feminine. Very similar to California dream but a little more depth and greener. One of my top spring and summer scent for sure

It’s an effortless feminine freshie! Just beautiful — like a very elevated and expensive clean citrusy shower gel/shampoo that stays with you for a long time. I love it.

Whoever says it's female! They're wrong. It's beautifully unisex. Fresh! Green! Musky! Fruity!

This is what I imagine Grace Kelly's character in To Catch a Thief wears

After a fresh but luxurious mandarin opening, Un Jour se lève unveils a white floral heart, yet still fresh. The fragrance is enhanced with green facets, that you could already detect in the topnotes with a blackcurrant facet, but on skin, the greenness becomes more obvious. Combined with an undefinable floralcy, it clearly evokes this new "wearable green floral" trend you had in Gabrielle in 2017. Well done, Mr Cavallier.

Very green and wearable. Citrus dominant opening as expected from the top notes. This definitely could have been a Chanel Chance flanker. It's pretty but not exactly my style of perfume. I received it as a gift so I wear it occasionally but there's no way I'd buy this for myself. Smells nice though. Given how inoffensive it is it would probably make a great work scent.

This reminds me of a bath and body works scent from 17 yrs ago called basil citrus. Anyway try layering this with victorias secret bare vanilla. it brimgs out the supposed vanilla note in this perfume
