Radiant Light

Remarkable. An icy cold hyper-mentholated burst of camphorous mint and citrus notes get this one off to a rollicking start. The banana leaf adds some sweet green notes to the mix and you're left with a startlingly radiant example of freshness-pushed-over-the-edge, past all normal boundaries and into something bizarre, unique, and completely new. Synthetic? Absolutely. Eau Radieuse seems as if it was concocted in a futuristic lab complete with hazmat suits and puffy clouds of liquid nitrogen smoke. But it's totally wearable AND the general public seems to like it. I get compliments when I wear this. It's not weird in an "eww, what's that smell?" kind of way, it has more of the, "Oh my god, what are you wearing?" type of effect. And it's not surprising that people notice it because this one PROJECTS. However, the way it projects is very unusual. Think of dispersed light rays refracting from a crystal and you'll have some idea of the physical nature of this fragrance. It's not solid. It's an aura, ethereal and radiant, befitting of its name.

Absolutely try this, as it needs to be experienced to be understood. One of my favorites, and completely different than anything else I own. Eau Radieuse is one of those fragrances that I stumbled upon and was instantly reminded as to why this is such a thrilling and enthralling hobby.

Eau Radieuse

This fragrance opens with mint and citrus notes. It is very fresh and clean-smelling, so at first I associated it with toothpaste. Upon closer sniffing I smell a bitter green note underneath the two head notes I mentioned before. This third note gets progressively stronger and this fragrance eventually becomes greener and less citrusy. Still, for most of the time there is a minty undertone which I am not particularly fond of. Although pleasant to wear, I think this scent is very commercial or common.

Frosted nature

I’ve been trying to test the Humięcki&Graef fragrances for years. There is always a sense of doubt when it comes to testing discontinued fragrances but also curiosity. The house was known to be divisive. One can read on the internet that the fragrances of H&G were trying to hard or that the concept of the brand was overblown. This sparked an interest for the brand in me. There was something unique in the design of the bottles, the overall artistic direction in the promotional material. The people in the photos were highly stylized, statuesque, fashionable. “Maybe the fragrances were indeed beautiful?”, “It that one of the instances where a good fragrance house dies too soon?”. The questions were piling up in my head and I decided to search for any remains of the fragrances. I managed to grab a few scents from the house, Eau Radieuse being one of them. It was also the one I was the most excited for. Hailed as the best of the line, the fragrance seemed to resonate well among different audiences - loved both by people who came across it accidentally as well people who were knee-deep in the niche world.
The opening is shocking - a wave of cold mentholated air blasting through my nostrils, freezing everything on its way. It’s not just fresh - it is biting cold. The fruity and green aspects come second - neon citruses, sticky green sap and vegetal sourness. To put things into perspective - Eau Radieuse is not reminiscent of any drinks and lemonades fragranced with mint - it is a sub-zero experience pushing the limits. It’s a neon fruit garden frozen to death. It’s not evolving much - everything is frozen in time with echoes of a green banana peel coming up here and there. The fragrance is linear, slowly losing its power as my skin defrosts from its cold embrace. Humięcki&Graef fragrances are very different from those of other houses. It seems like besides the concept of complex human emotions they aimed for something much more simpler - to make scents that are vastly different from anything that’s on the market. Here Laudamiel put an astonishing amount of menthol and aspects of the green skin of the banana which together forms a very unique experience. It doesn’t come off as cheap, the quality is there along with longevity. The projection is almost nuclear - unheard for fresh fragrances. It is also totally wearable which makes the perfume a sweet spot between art and utility. It is a shame that the house has closed but the memories remain.

Head Note Freezing Need

I don't really like summer. At least not when the thermometer climbs above 30 degrees for more than two days in a row and I can't be by the sea.
So far this year, I often haven't liked it.
There are very few fragrances that I can tolerate. My "heat collection" has now even grown to five inhabitants, but I still haven't found the ultimate "fresh kick fragrance"...

In a very pleasant souk deal, I snagged a sample of "Eau Radieuse" as a goodie.

And during the first test on a day of about 32 degrees, the term "fresh kick fragrance" took shape. Suddenly, I had a clear idea of what I envisioned and what I was looking for.

Upon spraying, I was instantly enveloped by an icy aura of peppermint. Even though the scent was different, the effect reminded me of earlier times when I always used that "China oil" inhaler during colds. A feeling that almost physically pulls through to the last nerve fibers of my brain and suddenly bombards me with images of ice crystals, stalactite caves, and bubbling, clear mountain streams - all at an outside temperature of 32 degrees.

That, exactly that, is what I had imagined.

And it's in such a beautiful bottle. I really like very simple bottles; they appear clear and cool, and this one, combined with the light turquoise (according to the photo), even more so.

And now comes the catch. This cold/icy effect/scent impression lasts for only about 35 minutes for me (today, during the second test, I checked the time). Then the fragrance becomes significantly sweeter. The peppermint recedes and makes way for a (not further defined) lighter mixture of (if I were to rely on the listed ingredients, I wouldn't recognize it) banana or bamboo. Although it's not listed, I think I detect a hint of jasmine for a while. Lemon doesn't stand out to me at all, nor do mandarins. What lingers at the end is, for me - distinctly perceptible - rhubarb.

And at this point, "Eau Radieuse" has completely lost me. Because I've never liked rhubarb, not even in cake, and certainly not in a fragrance. The really decent longevity of about 5 hours doesn't help either.

Nowadays, you can freeze almost anything. Bread, pastries, meat. Ice cream, of course. Whole fortunes can sometimes be frozen. And even pictures - whether worth seeing or not - can be frozen on the TV or DVD player.

So why, for heaven's sake, has no one invented something to freeze the top notes of perfumes on the skin??? For a few hours - four, five maybe. Then you can start all over again. I wouldn't even care if it were a spray that you distribute on the sprayed areas after applying the perfume or some kind of invisible gel that you spread where you sprayed the perfume.

It just has to work. Simply ensure that what you smell and feel right after spraying remains exactly the same. And doesn't change. Including the tingling of the nerve fibers. And the images of ice crystals. That would be something. I would like that.

And "Eau Radieuse," this newly invented freezing thing, and I would become inseparable friends from June to September.

Huch... it´s damn cool :)

In search of a summer fragrance for really hot days, I came across Eau Radieuse. A freshness kick is always good when the thermometer hits 25 degrees. I received a sample from a lovely perfumer for testing and commenting ;) ... Thank you!
First spray... Huch... this is really icy cold. I feel like I've shoved a mint candy up my nose. Are my nose hairs still intact? Or have you frozen :)
I've never experienced anything like this. Now that's what I call a freshness kick of the highest order!
About the scent:
Eau Radieuse starts with an ice-cold mint. Soon, a green note joins in, which I attribute to bamboo. As it develops, I catch a whiff of an unripe banana and tart rhubarb.
Actually quite nice and interesting ... but towards the base, the scent unfortunately becomes greener and more astringent on my skin. Fresh-green and astringent with a grated mandarin peel ... that's how Eau Radieuse remains on the skin.
The longevity is around 6-7 hours ... I would rate the sillage as average.
A fragrance for the absolute midsummer and best suited for sports and leisure.
I wouldn't assign Eau Radieuse solely to women. It is also perfectly suitable for you men.
The bottle is simple, color-coordinated with the fresh scent.
Conclusion:
Huch... it´s damn cool :) I feel like I've shoved a licked mint candy up my nose. Citrusy-minty with green notes. Freshness kick!
Unfortunately, Eau Radieuse develops on me into a green-austere direction that I no longer like. But the cooling effect is something you have to experience ;)
