What does Terre de Lumière (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top opens with bergamot, ambrette seed and pink pepper, where bergamot adds freshness and pink pepper a light spice. Lavender honey brings sweetness to the heart, and the base of white musk, bitter almond, acacia and tonka bean settles into a powdery, creamy, woody warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring close behind, and it suits leisure and daily wear best. It reads feminine. It has been discontinued. Lalique Le Parfum and Roger & Gallet Amande Persane have a close profile.
