One of the ugliest rose accords ever created. The 2000 version is a crime; I’ve rarely seen a rose so rat-like and sickly. It smelled of a rose with a cloying dirty aftertaste and insecticide punctuated by horrid musky morning breath like sniffing a used tissue. I remember the simple crystal bottle the orange and silver box and the magazine ad featuring a model having an orgasmic romp on the beach at dusk during the golden hour. I tried it and was deeply disappointed. There was none of that sensual modernity of 2000; the opening was washed-out a soft light citrus but once it gained body horrid soapy aldehydes and undefined wild flowers churned my stomach smelling of a mixture of insecticide and depilatory wax. The worst was the rose playing the owner turning everything into a musky flower radiating dirt dust old false teeth and carded blankets. A horror. Not even God bought it because that modern promise vanished upon spraying leaving something old and antique like a musty catalogue perfume in an older woman’s dressing table. I’ve seen it in the Madame Rochas bottle before not sure if it’s the new version or the original from the eighties and I haven’t bothered to check. If anyone wants to savour a rose accord with a cricket cage rancid sweat and dirty mouths aftertaste go ahead. Gives me the creeps.

The first one fair enough I’ll just say: I’VE COME BACK!!! Come back Lumiere please. So incredible so ethereal so unique. It has nothing to do with anything else. Fresh with presence yet nothing intrusive; a scent that doesn’t tire you. Powdered delicate and super feminine. The trail and longevity are moderate; you need to reapply every five hours. But I’ve been showered with so many compliments. I’m sorry they’ve discontinued it here. Greetings from wonderful Mendoza Argentina♥
