CreamyWhat does Lumière d'Issey smell like?
Citrus and floral accords lead, while the fruity, sweet side is softened by a creamy feel. Neroli and green mandarin orange open it up, then orange blossom, freesia and white musk form the heart. Pistachio wood and sandalwood settle underneath, giving it a warm, gentle base.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. With few votes so far, these ratings are only an early indication. Byredo Sundazed and Carolina Herrera CH Beauties have a close profile.
