Wow! I'm impressed by this. Highly original and authentic. Opens with sweet honeysuckle, cumin and rose. The dry down is smooth and reminds me of Her by NR. This stuff is seamlessly blended and the transition for top to bottom notes effortless. The wormwood/cumin combo does recall Le male and it is this spicy facet that sets it apart from Lumiere Noire pour femme. A highly passionate composition from Francis Kurkdjian and well worth the money. I bought a bottle direct from his store and it arrived in a matter of days. Will shop there again very soon.
