Lumière d’Issey

“The bottle looks absolutely stunning. But the scent felt rather generic and something you everyone smelled before.For me, this is a very safe mainstream/boring floral scent. I did not manage to smell much of the woody notes.Dry down was pleasant. As skin scent, it lasted for 6+hours.This is based on trying once on my skin from the shop tester.”

“This one took me by surprise. It’s sweet, floral and has a slight freshness to it. It is similar to paradoxe which I can’t stand, yet I love this. The main difference is that it’s missing the heavy jasmine that paradox has. And I can also see how it’s compared to libre but it doesn’t have the lavender and the white florals don’t feel as heavy. It has the right balance of orange blossom, freesia and mandarin. Where it’s sweet, too floral or powdery.”

“I got a sample In the mail. I immediately sprayed it. Then promptly scrubbed it off.Too cloying, too floral , too sweet , too sickly, no dimension. I think I’ve smelled this a hundred times over under a different name. Nothing different or new. Like every other generic designer brand. I would never want to smell like this.”
