Lux

I like it a lot. First the scent is wonderfully natural, freshly-squeezed lemon juice on my skin. Gradually, it moves to supportive roles. Meanwhile, a coldish spring morning arrives to join the lemon juice. It's a bit humid. And there's a smell of a freshly-peeled aspen twig in there, too. Here come animalic notes that my nose finds good. The scent gets warmer, the twig disappears, the lemon juice gets still quieter, and animalic notes - louder. The air gets warmer, drier. Summer. Well-warmed by the sun, freshly-shaved wood that has the tiniest sparks of lemon juice's citrusy, lemony freshness sprinkled over it. Plus the good animalic notes that came here earlier, plus very beautiful, aromatic tobacco notes. The lemon juice gets quiter again. Disappears. Just like tobacco. THe very end gives me calm, soft woodness with amber and somewhat sweets-like musk. It smells nice to me, but I wish there could be more tobacco and lemon juice in the very end. None for me, but oh, the memory, they're so nice to remember. I like them very-very much.

So few reviews yet... Anyway, Mona di Orio Lux is the kind of bright, happy lemon opening that is just right for my taste. The sharpness on the first mins is being pulled back to keep from being too strong. It must be the litchi because there is a slight tinge of sweetness there. I agree that this one can be worn both by men and women for the summer. Just clean, refreshing and aromatic citrus. There is a change of direction upon dry down. Yes, the citrus note is still there however it warms up and becomes softer as the woodiness and vanilla comes into the picture, which i love.. Rate: 4.2 / 5 Ps. Im thanking justas for sending me a sample. :)

Lux starts with a burst of lemon, which fairly quickly dries down to a beautiful woody scent. I really like this fragrance but it's not different enough from the other woody fragrances I have nor does it last long enough to justify a full (very expensive) bottle. If I had it I would definitely wear it and enjoy wearing it, but can't justify the price. I would also say this is a Unisex rather than solely masculine scent.

Lux. Light. The way sunlight behaves with branches, leafs and trees. Lively. Joyous and in equal measures sorrowful in the shaded parts. Body and soul. Dancing. I love the confidence and generosity and the clear simple message. Juicy. Sunny. A sweet larger then life lemon. In the shadows, smoky sacred incense.

I love it. It's a very contrasty perfume - changes often from light, sweet/bitter citruses, to darker softer, gentler musk and vanilla and wood, then the lemon comes back, and then the wood, and you never know where you are, but it's amazingly good.
