CreamyWhat does Le Parfum Lumière smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters place it in autumn and spring, with summer and winter close behind, and name daily wear and leisure as the top occasions. Most voters read it as feminine.
It opens with mandarin orange and ylang-ylang, a fresh, lightly fruity brightness. The heart of gardenia, orange blossom, Indian jasmine sambac absolute and tuberose turns creamy and sweet. Patchouli, woods, amber and musk leave a warm, woody-oriental base. Roberto Cavalli Florence and Abaco Odelia have a close profile.
