What does Lumière (1984) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters place it in autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it leans towards evening and nights out, though it also gets votes for daytime and the office. It reads feminine and classic.

It opens with honeysuckle, lifted by citrus and green freshness and a fruity touch. Jasmine and gardenia form the floral heart, while powdery, woody and faintly earthy tones settle with the ambergris into a spicy, slightly smoky depth. Rochas Lumière (1986) Eau de Parfum Intense and Guerlain Chant d'Arômes have a close profile.
