Luci Ed Ombre, from Masque Milano was released in 2013. The perfumer behind this creation is Giuseppe Imprezzabile. It has the top notes of Incense, middle notes of Ginger, Jasmine, Oakmoss, and Tuberose, and base notes of Cedarwood, Olibanum (Frankincense), and Patchouli.
A white floral scent which immediately evoked memories of a female friend of mine that I haven't seen in years. It's quite a specific mixture, namely the smell of her car when she used to pick me up. A combination of jasmine perfume, soapy, waxy hair products, a hint of stale spliff car seat and maybe a magic tree hanging from the rear view mirror? Reminiscing aside the main accord here is the combination of Tuberose and jasmine which is honestly intoxicating. It should be awful and not my cup of tea but the jasmine sweetens it up just enough to be likable. There's a hint of smoke and I do mean the tiniest amount could this be the illusive incense? I can see how a fresher smell of frankincense could be hiding in this composition but I would never describe Luci ed Ombre as having an 'incense' note. Well there's definitely tiny hints of something else here like the ginger perhaps? I really couldn't say because the overriding sense is powerfully floral, so powerful in fact the longevity is very good and the projection pronounced at first then dying down. The basenotes are much the same as the opening but it gets a little more soft, soapy and clean as it matures. Still I'm not one to label a perfume off hand but this just says feminine to me and not something I would choose to wear. No denying this is quality juice and I would recommend it to a lady that loves white florals but have to point out it's not the most exciting composition in the world. I'm sure there's similar quality perfumes cheaper and more interesting elsewhere.
