What do reviewers say about Lumières and Meant To Be Seen?
The aldehyde opening hits like champagne, rare in modern perfumery, which is exactly why this one stands apart. Cool iris and sharp saffron keep everything restrained, never pushing.Lumières
This is not a wallflower fragrance despite the name. The sesame in the base is a bold choice that separates it from typical powdery orris compositions.Meant To Be Seen
