Lumiere d'Epices

I was unfair to this perfume in the beginning. The first time I tested it, in the middle of winter and craving warmth and spice, I wrote (in my personal perfume notes, not in review) - "Nice enough but not very original for the niche label (or price). Smells a little similar to Elie Saab le parfum intense combined with something, perhaps Opium. Actually, smells rather like Opium Vapeurs. Spiced orange flower, neroli, orange, honey, hint of jasmine, I think. Gives me the same slight eye watery headache that Opium and Opium Vapeurs can sometimes induce. Not sure what is the point of this one". How mean I was! And unfair. I didn't think about it so much until the spring when I was sorting through some samples, and suddenly decided to give it another go. Well it worked much better in mild weather and I noted - "this is way better, definitely a warm weather scent. In mild weather this becomes a clean fresh orange blossom, neroli and jasmin scent with a touch of warm soft spice. I like this a lot more in this weather. It is still quite similar to some other scents that come in a lot cheaper, but this is nice and I do like it." Fast forward to this evening, I wore baume du doge during the day but that had faded and I wanted something spicy-clean before bed. Today it is warm, muggy, close, it has been hot in that stuffy city hot (we're talking British 'hot' here so low twenties) and so I reached for this. I am very happy to admit I was wrong before, and to move this to my love section for the summer. This is definitely a hot weather perfume it has come alive tonight and I feel beautiful! Tonight I have a wonderful blend of clean jasmine, warm juicy orange, a soft neroli, the sweetness of orange flower, a hint of rose and a touch of honey but not strong or overpowering, the lemon and bergamot give a wonderful lightness and some soft warm gentle spice nutmeg and clove give this some edge and intrigue, it is beautiful right now! One for the summer!

Anyone who likes orange blossom fragrances will have fun with this one. I agree with others who complain about this being harsh, as it does open a bit strong. I find it not harsh but maybe acidic from the citrus. One it settles this becomes sweeter, with the flowers and honey notes coming through. This soapy and somewhat fresh, but thick, rich and succulent at the same time. I find this expensive smelling and exceptionally well made. The longer it's on, the more the spices comes through. I clearly smell the nutmeg and cloves in this, at least on me. They stay in the background but they are there, giving this depth and complexity. There is a sour note in this and maybe its the grapefruit, but it's what sets this apart. This reminds me of a cross between 24 Faubourg and Shanghai Lily with tart grapefruit juice thrown in. The tartness may turn some people off, but I for one, am intrigued. Longevity is less than I had hoped, and runs feminine, but as a guy I like this.

I’ve been testing this fragrance for about three weeks now. If you ordered it online you have to wait for it to settle for about a week or two, otherwise you’re going to get sharp flower notes which will be sticking out unpleasantly and it’s going to feel a little grandma. But if you let it settle and be patient, after a few weeks what you will be getting is a beautiful floral fragrance of an expensive body lotion. The strongest notes are Orange blossom and jasmine. There’s no sweetness in this fragrance at all, it’s very floral and smells like an expensive soap, right out of the shower kind of smell. I don’t really get a lot of wear out of this, It basically lasts about an hour on my skin, but I have a colder skin so most of the perfumes don’t last on me, you could get several hours out of it if your skin is warmer. This is a perfume if you don’t want to smell like a perfume but luxurious soap or lotion.

A sunny and refined fragrance, suitable for some parties or for walks in the city in summer. I really like it when the honey and spicy notes start to make themselves felt, the bottom is very beautiful. It lasts very long (safe more than 6 hours) and the sillage is strong so a few sprays are enough. Personally i believe i will buy it in the future, for now I have my sample. Beautiful!
