Plasticine
After first donning Luctor et Emergo I was laughing. It is really a funny scent. When I was little child, I had colored, perfumed plasticine, and also colored, perfumed eraser (pink). It has almost the same fragrance. I connect it only to good, childish, carefree things, but I am curious if somebody else feels the same.
First it shows more almond and cherry (I doubt that it would be sour cherry), later it is more sweet and powdery, but does not changes so much.

Hard to call this to a parfume, but it would never be a problem to me to wear it. The name is a bullseye - I do not know what it has to do with this fragrance, but it is easy to recall.

A Darker, More Sophisticated Cherry Almond Perfume...
I was reminded immediately of Lolita Lempicka FLEUR DEFENDUE upon donning The People of the Labyrinths LUCTOR ET EMERGO this morning. It was obviously the almond and cherry notes, which are rare enough and all the more in that particular couplet. Later in the day, I decided to see how close the two compositions really are and found that in fact FLEUR DEFENDUE is a lot sweeter and somewhat one-dimensional--more of a straight-up cherry and almond dessert perfume than this one is.

Relative to A*MAZE, LUCTOR ET EMERGO seems like a dessert perfume, but relative to FLEUR DEFENDUE, LUCTOR ET EMERGO seems like a much more sophisticated oriental perfume featuring something along the lines of ambergris in the base. No, it's not labdanum amber but the metal mesh texture I sense in the presence of ambergris.

I do not smell Playdoh or plumber's putty as others, including my buddy Aromi, below, have reported. The Playdoh perfume to end all Playdoh perfumes remains to my nose Dior HYPNOTIC POISON. LUCTOR ET EMERGO, in contrast, really seems to me to be ambergris, and I'd love to hear from anyone who can confirm or deny the presence of that substance in this otherwise dessert-sounding line-up of notes. The longevity and sillage are excellent, and I find this creation to be every bit as well-made as A*MAZE. Basically, The People of the Labyrinths have created two perfumes to cover the two big categories which appeal to women most: candy and flowers. Here we have the box of candy, but it is considerably more complex than the usual suspects.

I really like this perfume and over the course of the day and especially after reapplying it, I have come to appreciate why it has a cult following. It takes a bit of time to wrap one's nose around, but in the end LUCTOR ET EMERGO commands respect.
