  I want this perfume to be commercialised again!!!! It was my first important perfume, and I haven’t stopped loving it. When it was discontinued, I cried with anger. And the new version was HORRIBLE. I want the formula!!!

  Lumière was an ostentatious, complex perfume with a multitude of nuances. It had the peculiarity of smelling different depending on each woman (it highlighted a different floral note according to the skin) and reflected an era of perfumes with great floral richness. I loved it. My mother had a miniature of this fragrance and smelled it many times (she was a teenager, and my sense of smell was sensitive and very curious about the new fragrances coming out…). It was a complex and expensive fragrance to produce, and I believe that is why it was discontinued, because it was a sales success (at least in the 80s). How nice it would be if it came back again, but we are in an era of reformulations to cut costs on raw materials and loaded with synthetics. I see it as difficult. A perfume that had its big moment in the creative 80s and gave a distinction impossible to find today in commercial perfumery. Its trail was exquisitely elegant. I miss it!!!!

  Lumiere was an ostentatious, complex perfume with a multitude of nuances. It had the peculiarity of smelling different for each woman (one floral note would stand out depending on the skin) and reflected an era of perfumes with great floral richness. I adored it. My mother had a miniature of this fragrance and smelled it many times (I was a teenager, my sense of smell was sensitive and very curious about the new fragrances coming out…). It was a complex and expensive-to-produce fragrance, and I believe that’s why it was discontinued, because it was a sales success (at least in the 80s). How nice it would be if it came back again, but we are in an era of reformulations to cut raw material costs and loaded with synthetics. I see it as difficult. A perfume that had its great starring role in the creative 80s and offered a distinction impossible to find today in commercial perfumery. Its trail was exquisitely elegant. I miss it!!!!

  I didn’t particularly like this perfume in terms of its fragrance, but I loved its presentation from the first time I saw it. It was one of the perfumes in the 80s that began to innovate with art in bottle design. In that sense, houses like Cacharel, Salvador Dalí, and Rochas were pioneers, I think, and Lumière got ahead of current designs. My mother adored it, and in the late 90s, I brought it back as a gift from a trip. We are very sorry to see it discontinued. They could have at least kept the design lines, with some variation, as the new version is the most plain thing.

  It smells of dangerous innocence and candid sweetness. It smells of sublime elegance and charming ecstasy. Deeply narcotic, beautiful, and exquisite delight. I love and adore it to perdition. It is a wonderful work of art of the most sublime kind that does not exist in today’s perfumery. This jewel evoked, summoned, and invoked romance, daydreaming, and a bedspread of the most beautiful and glamorous roses, with airs of the most grandiose elegance. It had the touch of a craftsman, made of love and commitment to the infinite world of perfumery, and it was or was a divine gift for the senses.

  I absolutely adore this perfume. It was mine, and no other scent has ever given me those same feelings. I’ve loved it since forever. Even though I forgot about it for years, remembering it made me realise just how important it was. It’s a pity it was discontinued so long ago. Lumiere was created by Nicolas Mamounas in 1984, and in 2000, Rochas had the ‘brilliant’ idea (not at all) of replacing it with a different bottle containing a different perfume but the same name. It bore no resemblance to the original; at least, that’s what I thought when I smelled it. I couldn’t believe it was Lumiere by Rochas; I kept looking at it and smelling it again and again. And it wasn’t, good heavens. I’ve since noticed they released a new edition in 2017, but the notes are totally different, so… it’s not my Lumiere. A couple of years ago, I dared to buy a miniature in its original box just to smell it again. Seeing that it was indeed my Lumiere, I went all out; I also bought a vintage bottle I found at a good price, without the box. It had changed; the opening wasn’t as radiant and full of life as I remembered, yet it still made me happy. Would you stop loving someone just because some wrinkles appeared on their face? It still had that dazzling, beautiful soul. I enjoyed it for a while, but now… It’s a pity my Lumiere has died. Yes, the other day I went to try it and realised. It had died! I didn’t want to believe it, but that was how it was; it was definitely rancid. Nevertheless, if I spray it into the air and smell it, I can still remember its beauty, though with great effort. The miniature is still alive, albeit delicate in health; I’m afraid to open it too much. And what was Lumiere like? A shamelessly sensual perfume with an incredible trail and a longevity that is no longer seen. My room sometimes smelled of Lumiere when I came home after having perfumed myself and spent hours out in the world. Its cloud of aroma carried me away, made me float; life changed and became always more wonderful. Perfume made into art. It was penetrating as a dagger and beautiful as an angel. Bare and radiant, like the life breathed in its true essences. An excessive floral scent but so perfectly balanced with its woods, moss and vetiver emerging, giving you a symphony of low tones, wrapping you. The balance was perfect. And the aldehydes? I didn’t know what they were then, but now I think they intensify the fragrance so much that without them, it wouldn’t have been the same. They weren’t soapy aldehydes, or if they were, they couldn’t compete with the other notes and served more to highlight the flowers and base notes. I never noticed the musk, and I don’t now either, although it surely played its part, perfectly integrated. This is my opinion as a total admirer of this perfume from the past: nothing was superfluous, nothing was missing. And the bottle was incredible too! Perhaps one day I’ll find another perfume that seems to me so unique and wonderful. I’m sure my Lumiere would want me to remake my life with another perfume.

  I love this perfume. It was my perfume, and nothing else has ever provoked the same feelings in me. I’ve loved it since forever. Even when I forgot about it for years; when I remembered it again, I understood how important it was to me. Unfortunately for me, it was too late as it had been discontinued for a long time. Lumiere was created by Nicolas Mamounas in 1984, and in the year 2000, Rochas had the ‘brilliant’ idea (not at all), of replacing it with another bottle containing a different perfume, but with the same name. This perfume bore no resemblance to the original, at least when I smelled it. I couldn’t believe it was Lumière by Rochas; I looked at it and examined it several times. And it wasn’t. Good heavens.

  It is the favourite perfume of all time; truly, I don’t know anyone who hasn’t liked it. An exquisite floral scent, yet very distinctive, unlike anything else. I really hope they manufacture it again.

  If I were to smell this perfume again, I’m certain I would burst into tears. I would cry for that irretrievable stage where I thought the world was at my feet, for my innocence, my adolescence, my first love, and my loved ones who are no longer with us and who adored my perfume. They celebrated it, telling me what I already knew: that Lumière was ME, that it was made for me. It may sound pretentious, but that was a special characteristic of Lumière by Rochas. As its name suggests, every woman would light up in her own unique way when wearing it. It transformed on the skin and projected hundreds of different sensations for each owner of this magical potion. And the bottle, oh my God, that bottle, with a cap that looked like a great jewel. The entire bottle was a jewel of iridescent colours that shimmered depending on the light. It was glorious, unique. I have never felt anything like it. When I wore it, I felt happy, powerful, and unique in the world. Please, let’s pressure perfume houses to bring it back. Beauties like this should not die.

  Beautiful perfume, a jasmine embrace, fresh, youthful, sweet. Simply a charm. I understand that in the later version they changed the fragrance. What a pity. It was a proper treat.

  It was a work of art. I gave it to my mother for her 90th birthday as her favourite scent. I’ve bought it again, and although the smell has changed slightly, I don’t mind. Just having the bottle and a bit of its essence was worth the money. I’m begging them to produce something similar, but there’s no way… I’ve searched other fragrances and can’t find it. It was a wonder.

  I never tried it myself; I was too young and broke back then. It was my aunt’s perfume, and every time she wore it, I felt I could lift myself up just to follow in her trail. I adored it. Eventually, I convinced my mother to buy it for her, and she still keeps the bottle because it was so beautiful. There are a few drops left; if you unscrew the cap, you can still catch a whiff of the scent. Seriously, is there nothing out there that resembles it? It was a masterpiece, perfectly in line with all those nostalgic reviews. I really hope they bring it back; I’m certain it would be a hit.
