What does Lumière d'Épices smell like?
It opens on citrus: blood orange zest, grapefruit and bergamot keep it fresh. In the heart, orange blossom absolute, Indian jasmine sambac and rose build a floral base, while dry woods and spices dry it down. Cedarwood, nutmeg and clove close it with a woody, spicy warmth, and the overall impression is sweet, lightly powdery and fruity.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with evening and night out leaning slightly ahead of daytime use. More than half of the voters read it as feminine, and it sits closer to a classic style than a modern one.
