Pros & Cons
- ✅ Beautiful blend of honey, rum and orchid. It is not heavy, actually I find it very refreshing.
- ✅ This is a truly beautiful fragrance. It opens with a blast of honey and well aged scotch rather than rum; quite intoxicating.
- ✅ This is damn good. I blind bought this a few months ago and I will always keep this in my collection. It is warm, sexy and mysterious.
- ✅ The consensus on performance is very high, with users noting it possesses excellent longevity and a noticeable sillage that lasts through an entire night.
- ✅ It is frequently compared to the original Velvet Orchid, but fans highlight that the 'Lumière' version reduces the heavier, darker elements in favor of a bright, citrusy opening and a more prominent myrrh note.
- ✅ Most enthusiasts recommend this as a 'special evening' or 'night out' fragrance, though its lighter composition makes it more suitable for leisure and daily wear in cooler weather.
- ❌ IDK what the hell this is but lord have mercy this was absolutely NASTY!!! It smelt was too smokey
- ❌ Sweetish, smokey-ish, honeyed rum. So mild.. too mild... in my opinion. Fragrance was gone within the hour.
- ❌ the opening smells quite dusty and old-fashioned to my nose.
- ❌ While many find it sophisticated and mysterious, it remains a polarizing scent; some users perceive a 'vintage' or 'grandma' vibe.
