Do you remember old style Chanel No.5? This fragrance will take you right back. Lumiere Intense is a massive floral aldehyde.
Lumiere Intense doesn’t just have a top note – it makes a grand entrance. It’s a BIG, waxy aldehyde and it’s not afraid to announce it’s presence. I’m someone who can appreciate a subtle fragrance, but I love how unapologetic Lumiere Intense is. I have arrived; the party may begin.
There is nothing sugar sweet or gourmand here. It’s not modern. This is old skool cool. Wear it if you dare.

I received this today-unboxed-My first reaction was OMG-this is a fake-it’s used-and defective! Because-Please hear me. The label was almost erased on it. I couldn’t see the bottom as it was concealed with a bar code, the spray part on top looked crooked (defective) and there were finger prints on it!! Ugh! I knew it was an unboxed purchase but this bottle looked a bit more than what you’d expect from an ‘unboxed’ purchase :-((( So I started researching and I realize it really is somewhat coveted vintage and is discontinued. Although I was certain I would return it-I still wanted to smell it so much, I decided to spray it..and OMG..OMG..OMG..This is a TREASURE. THIS IS A TREASURE. THIS IS A TREASURE!! I’m so glad I didn’t send it back right away!!

This one is beautiful.
The bottle I have comes in the metal case which is gorgeous on its own. I thought it was pump spray like most others I have come across but it comes out in a constant plume (the first test went everywhere haha).
What I get from it I don’t feel like grandma would wear , although if she did, she would smell sexy. I get from it Slightly dirty jasmine with a dash of gardenia and you can tell tuberose is in there playing around as well.
I do think know the pyramid but that’s what I get. I go get a slight amount of green as it calms down .
Good longevity and overall a keeper.
Why are there not more reviews of this one?

This is a peculiar and lovely early eighties-style fragrance. I don’t know the date of its release but there doesn’t appear to be many reviews on this. If you like big, complex and heady fragrances with aldehydes e.g. Chanel No 5 with a sweet and very slightly amber drydown, this is a charming and persistent fragrance. I would recommend spraying on your clothes the night before and lightly misting on your skin. It has excellent sillage and longevity. Additionally, because it is part of an ‘old school’, vintage composition, it tends to stand out.
Unfortunately, my bottle had a faulty nozzle and would occasionally emit a continuous spray (rather than a single spritz) once the nozzle once depressed. The bottle is now entirely gone. I can still smell parts of soft furnishing or shelves on which this phenomenon had occurred; I still find the accidental discovery of its scent to be disarmingly charming.
I think white floral or sweet tubereuse would be a base note on this perfume, which is unusual, as it starts with a very strong, almost floral-chypre.
