Lumiere Blanche Eau de Parfum

Declared Notes

The Architecture

Picture a chalk cliff looming over a sea as still and metallic as mercury under a blazing sun... This is the picture selected by the renowned Italian photographer Massimo Vitali � whose work has been exhibited in major museums like the Guggenheim � as a brief for Lumière Blanche (i.e.�white light��). To translate this concept of whiteness, but also the heat of the sun and the coolness of the sea, Sidonie Lancesseur has similarly played on olfactory contrasts. Coolness? A brace of cold spices like cardamom and star anise. Heat? The burn of cinnamon. This spicy cocktail livens up a soothing, creamy blend of almond milk, sandalwood and tonka bean: the almond and sandalwood produce skin-loving milky effects, while the almond and tonka bean pick up on the licorice-y facets of the star anise. Powdery iris and musks add another, different layer of whiteness to a fragrance which, unusually, has a slightly milky aspect. A beautiful, sensuous yet candid fragrance that might just turn into your go-to bottle.
