I get the spices and whipped cream with just a whiff of chocolate… discernable coffee would have been better. Reminds me of something from Kyse, just feels unfinished.

Spicy chocolate with the least coffee. mild cream yes but more doses of spices.
Later it turns to an oily texture and goes quite zero chocolate, coffee and zero cream! it turns into balsamic oily blend. kind of weird to be honest!

It’s a 107 degree California day in mid September, but I uncovered a decant of Lumiere that I had not yet tried and decided to give it a whirl. I am not disapointed!
It starts like a bowl full of awesome vanilla ice cream–not the cheapie generic stuff, but the real vanilla bean stuff–with a shot of cinnamon whiskey poured over the top. It’s a rich concoction of cinnamon and vanilla that is delectable. As the fragrance dries down, a lightly peppery-spicy note arrives. It adds a bit of depth and interest to this scent.
Lumiere is a lovely scent. It’s rather like L Lolita Lempicka, but without the citrusy notes. Despite it’s title as a holiday scent, I have no trouble enjoying it in the summer; it would be great for those who enjoy a lightly sweet, rich vanilla. I don’t care for overly sweet vanillas, and this is certainly not.
I don’t get the coffee note, which is too bad; maybe some of the developing spiciness is the coffee note. I think I will try this on a cooler day to see if a lower temp is friendlier to the subtleties of this scent. Sillage is low-modest, while longevity was around 5 hours (good for DSH fragrances, in my experience).
