Description
Lumiere or “The Light” appeared in 1984. Its floral composition included: aldehydes, bergamot, fruity and green notes, violet and orange blossom as top; honeysuckle, hyacinth, oriss root, rose, tuberose and ylang-ylang in the middle; and cedar, musk, oakmoss, sandalwood and vetiver at the base. It was re-launched in 2000. Being relatively similar to its forerunner, it became modern; kept its brightness and optimism but became lighter and fruitier. The soft beginning includes floral notes of lily-of-the-valley, honeysuckle, orange blossom along with fruity notes of bergamot and plum; slowly dries to the heart of flowers where Damask rose reigns followed by sweet apricot; to the base of sandalwood, musk, cedar, vanilla, tonka bean and vetiver. This new version of fragrance was created by Michel Almairac.

Lumiere Eau de Parfum! could be a little sister to D&G femme classic (red cap). Great but soft aldehydes and fresh flowernotes. Compared to D&G classic Lumiere EdP is a bit softer and a little bit shortlived, about 5 hours on my skin (D&G 12 hours+). If you find it – try it.
Lumiere Eau de Toilette! Great deep, unsweet and a bit dark flowernotes. Lumiere EdT is for grown-up girls =). Very nice and a perfect every-day-scent or office-scent.
Lumiere Eau de Parfum! kan vara en lillasyster till D&G femme classic (med klarröd kork). Fina tydliga men lite mjuka aldehyder och fräscha blomnoter. Jämförd med D&G Classic, så är Lumiere EdP lite mjukare och lite mindre hållbar på huden, ca 5 timmar på mig. (D&G 12 timmar+). Om du hittar den- prova den.
Lumiere Eau de Toilette! Superfin med djupa osöta och lite mörka blomnoter. Lumiere EdT är för vuxna tjejer. Otroligt fin och en perfekt varje-dag-doft eller kontors-doft.

This perfume is bright and sunny – it’s name is spot on.
Wellbalanced – just the right ammount of sweetness, flovernotes and greens.
This is the perfum for every woman and age.
More of a daytime scent but could work for evning as well.

I bought a massive 100ml bottle of this many years back, because, well, I thought that smelling like turkish delight was a good idea. I’ve still got some left, I did try to make it work as a linen spray, even that failed.
I don’t know why anyone would want to wear this when there are so many other beautiful perfumes out there! Does it smell like Ghost? Oh well, there’s another one for me to avoid…

Light floral.
The Damask rose note is the most noticeable mixed with the lily-of-the-valley note lightness.
I can’t say that I like this fragrance. It seems to me too light. And I would say that it smells simply.
DESERT – :
Remind me a lot GHOST THE FRAGRANCE (by Tanya Sarne). Rose+ Softly Aldehydes+ Cedar and Vanilla = Lumière or GHOST? This is one of those scents that is inexplicable. Reminds me of the past, living things, good memories. It makes me nostalgic! I LOVE THESE TWO FRAGRANCES!

While everyone is complaining who bad it is, I am kicking myself for getting a 50 ml bottle, in stead of my usual 100. This is an absolutely lovely shypre, zesty and deep at the same time, very unique. This fragrance would definitely appeal to the fans of Y by YSL as they share some silmilarities in character.
Great sillage and longevity! after 2 hours it still goes on strong, but changes into a warmer,sweeter rosy scent. Beautiful!
So far I have been consistently happy with Rochas, even their new formulas.

I couldn’t wait to try this however, when I did it smelled like stale wine that had been sitting out for too long. I have tried several times to like it but that is all I get. Good luck for those who can wear it I wish I could.
kovandri – :
Wow these reviews. I have this perfume and it is one of my favorites. I always get compliments whenever i wear this. May be it’s my body chemistry but i absolutely love this one. It smells sexy but in a clean way. Unlike those heavy floral/ sugar overloaded scents tagged as sexy. This one is classy and unique.
wxz150speagoessenda – :
i think Aldehydes and Hyacith don’t go
together in my opinion their to strong
of substance it’s like a power keg going off it just make me have a
headache but the drydown is nice smells
almost like Giorgio of Beverly Hills
but more heavier and with more Aldehydes

Another member of the category MISTAKES WERE MADE, Rochas LUMIERE holds the dubious distinction of being the grossest fragrance in my collection. My 1.7oz edt bottle is nearly full, and this one is sooooo very bad that I cannot even stand to test it on my skin. A spritz on a kleenex suffices to demonstrate the nocent qualities of this potion. The very thought of letting this possibly toxic liquid come in contact with my skin fills me with anxiety, evoking memories of the plight of Gulf War Syndrome victims…
Has my bottle turned? Or is the reformulation no more and no less than a noxious chemical soup? Either way, I retain the bottle as a note to self: do not buy fragrances scent unsniffed!

there is something off about this fragrance, it smells like roses& alcohol. i am not a fan but seems to work for other people.
sheriff095 – :
I can’t say anything really nice about this. Smelt very synthetic. A cold, fizzy, pungent floral. One to definately test before you buy. Not a fan, there are many more beautiful scents than this.

I sold my flacon via Ebay, as on me it smelled like insecticide. IMO the rose and the peach don’t mix very well in this one, making a bizarre concoction.
Jeciapy – :
Lumiere or “The Light” is a simple beautiful fragrance. Roses – old fashioned roses and I say it utterly respectfully – delicately blended with hyacinths. Peaches give fruity accords and accompany the flowers to the fabulous drydown. Incredibly long lasting.

ravenrose, lumiere is a good choice, yet very difficult to find these days. I used to wear the previous version of lumiere, it was awesome you not only smell the rose notes but also the hacinth and narcissus.. . but the fact is that I really don´t know if this is the same smell or aroma as the classic and original lumiere I strongly belive the narcissus notes, which were very very beautiful and used to give this perfume its personality have dissapeared in this version.it is a sad thing which occurs with reformulations..
pugopush – :
Clean and powdery rose.
I thought it would have a more “old perfume” smell but I was wrong.
It is a fragances for all women, no matter what is their age.
Fresh, joyful and very good rose scent.
