Lueur d'Espoir Arena Intense

Not a fan. The rose notes are extremely strong! May keep to use for layering but I'm not into rose at all.

To me this is horrendous, it doesn't smell like a perfume, it's pure acetone!

Disregard the notes ranking above - LV employees have screwed them up. This is an accurate clone of LV Les Sables Roses, which I've smelt in-store a couple times. Inky oud and jammy rose. It's the LV Ombre Nomade DNA without any leather. I can tolerate Ombre Nomade because the subtle leather tones down all other notes, but I find Les Sables Roses (and this Paris Corner) off-putting - but this DNA is some people's favourite. For example, FB Fragrances (a prominent fragrance reviewer) really loves LV Les Sables Roses. On the other hand, I've smelt over a dozen popular oud-roses and I still personally think MFK Oud Satin Mood (and its many super-accurate clones, particularly from Fragrance World, Maison Alhambra, Zimaya) trumps all other oud-roses that I've smelt. The jammy rose in this Paris Corner and in Les Sables Roses isn't the same as the jammy rose in MFK OSM. The MFK OSM jammy rose is basically gourmand. Whereas the Les Sables Roses jammy rose is also mixed with a little bit of a vintage realistic lush rose. I don't actually know what that style of rose note is called, but it's very present in Fragrance World Divin Aoud (clone of Roja Dove Amber Aoud) and it's genuinely disgusting when it's the sole rose note. Hence its mild addition to the Les Sables Roses DNA simply makes it slightly off-putting to some noses, like myself. Regarding the reviews below, I personally didn't get acetone or any alcohol blast from the tester bottle I smelt. And personally, I found the jammy rose moderately-sweet from memory. This isn't a particularly sweet fragrance imo - especially since the inky oud is also prominent.

For me it's quite similar to Zara's Fashionably London, but more sweet and intensive (like mb Fashionable London with a hint of Rose Gourmand). Very sweet and rosy scent.
