What does La Lumière smell like?
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It doesn't lean toward one gender and can sit on a man or a woman alike. Its profile is close to Bottega Veneta Bottega Veneta (Eau de Parfum) and Balenciaga Balenciaga.
The top notes are civet, oakmoss and leather, so it starts dry, earthy and leathery. At the heart, patchouli, carnation and geranium add floral, spicy and green touches. In the base, clary sage and bergamot soften it toward freshness, while woody and powdery tones stay in the background.
