Have you worn L?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. It’s floral with exotic touches, very earthy yet with aquatic notes—a sky-and-earth balance that smells clean and optimistic. It’s a floral soundscape featuring bergamot, rose, jasmine and plumeria, alongside peach and white musk that gives a bath and soap vibe. A catchy melody that lasts until sunset, where everything blends into a rose sailing across a white sea of musk. The paradise of a sleeping nymph in a nest of water hyacinths, beneath wings of petals. In her dreams, she merges a floral swamp and sky into a song.

    I’ve put it back on now that the heat has broken. In this fresh, cloudy weather, the scent feels incredibly clean. The fruit notes stand out—pear and something aquatic, like fresh river water, nothing beachy. It’s like being in El Yunque. Will I wear this, which was a summer favourite, through autumn and winter? I think I will.

    I love it; it’s rare that I buy another bottle, but this is one of my favourites. It’s like an explosion of fruit, smelling of a delicious citrus punch, sun and sea. I generally wear it in summer, but in winter I use it during the day.

    It’s quite fresh, smelling of mango and shampoo. It’s great for not wearing a ‘celebrity’ signature, as those tend to be very sweet and repetitive. I think it’s an excellent option for everyday wear.

    On me, it smells very green, like a jungle straight after rain. I’m still keeping it because I love the bottle.
