This scent is designed to be a mix of old and new. The bottle is made of heavy glass and has a rounded base so that the fragrance rocks.
The perfumer behind the scent also created Joop! Homme

Reviews of Rochas Lui| voidvader BrazilShow all reviews | Well... Rochas Lui is a good scent to be in the front line of any wardrobe. It has great longivity e good sillage, and that´s too important for me. For me a unisex pherfume. I don´t igree with all those cedar people says before here... What is very dominant here is the spice and florals... i would swear it had jasmin into there (remember me minotaure) but it is not described. Its comfortable, and i imagine using it for a walk, as a well-being state of my soul... just that... 9th May, 2011. |
![]() alfarom ItalyShow all reviews | Smelling Lui made me think about how much we can be silly when we try obstinately to cathegorize perfumes. Niche, Designers, Mass Market, Up-Market etc. etc.. IMO, sometimes (sometimes), we should simply stop making many differencies and divide perfumes into good ones and bad ones. No matter who released or created them. Lui is surely a good one. A very good one. 3rd May, 2011. (Last Edited: 4th May, 2011.) |
| Harvitz81 Show all reviews | Rochas Lui starts with a blast of alcohol that quickly fades into my nose as a citrusy, oriental spice opening. Cedar and Neroli take over and eventually the vanilla notes come through. Overall though it is just a rather too sweet fragrance for me and as other have noted, the burnt sugar or candy shop smell is just too much to handle. Not something I view as terrible, but not something I'd want to own or wear on any sort of basis. 22nd March, 2011. |

| Redbeard United StatesShow all reviews | RL is interesting to me as a point one notch more toward the floral end among woody orientals...almost like the jasmine (?) and honey components of Bois du Portugal had been amped up. The florals resemble the orange blossom extract water that you can buy at middle eastern markets, or the super-sweet, flowery Namoura pastries that are made with it (uncannily similar to RL!). There's enough patchouli to give it sweetness but not sharpness. Generally, I think RL is too "confectionery," reminding me of the ever-present smells of a candy shop or ice cream shop, which can be sickly sweet, even though RL doesn't actually smell like waffle cones or fudge baking. I like it as a creamy wood scent, but the florals and honey make it too assertively sweet and buttery...for me it's like a good cake that's been ruined by having too much standard white frosting on it. Alas. 20th January, 2011. |
![]() david32 Show all reviews | This scent was almost impossible to find as early as 2008, at least in europe. Lots of bottles at discount stores have turned to vinegar, urine ect. I tried it last week, and it immediately smelled like a rotten fragrance, with the unmistakeable vinegar note at the start. It would be great if rochas would relaunch Lui, but I doubt it. So for the moment, any review dated past 2008 must be taken with a grain of salt. 31st December, 2010. |
