Luminae Alkemia 2018

I didn't really know what to expect from Luminae - to this day, its notes are a mystery to me. But its so creamy, so milky yet skin-milky, the perfect skin scent. Something no one could resist. It's a bit sweet, but not gourmand, and it makes me picture a naked body, silky white skin... Something pure and untouched yet incredibly sexy in its innocent way. As someone said before, its Cleopatra after a donkey milk bath. I quote that 100%. Feminine and sensual, not too over vanilla but it surely has some of it going around especially in the opening, making it all smooth and sensual. I like it!

Alkemia fragrances are different!
They transport you to realms that you rarely want to leave after getting to know them:
They invite you to linger in the scent.

“Luminae” - the light: How important, especially now in these months when darkness increases and envelops us not only protectively and allows us to find peace, but can also be overwhelming.
Winter light, as welcome as it is, is usually clear with sharp edges that often resemble cut glass, and it can quickly become painful to the eyes.

How different “Luminae” is: A milky-white fragrance, a kind of soft focus, that warmly envelops with veils woven from musk and vanilla aromas, while being both powdery and creamy at the same time.
The powdery particles that I perceive during the scent development indicate iris.
Iris, the goddess of the rainbow, messenger between heaven and earth, fits very well into this fragrance image, as she joins Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who, as always, generously brings sensual warm vanilla pleasures.
All of this invites you to a soothing bath of finely spiced milk and a spoonful of golden honey, enveloping you, crowned by an elegant dose of amber, with a fine glow that reflects in surprising light reflections on the skin.
“Luminae” is not only a soul-soothing milky bath in a warm room of silence, illuminated by softly flickering candlelight: It pampers!

If Cleopatra bathed in donkey milk, then “Luminae” is a feel-good bath for the senses that offers comfort for several hours, wrapping you in soft and aromatic scent veils woven by goddesses.

Thus, Alkemia has once again succeeded with “Luminae”: Who would have expected a fragrance like a warming, caressing milk bath?
I will enjoy it this evening.
