Dusty, dusty iris. No lightscape.

I'm a huge fan of iris, but if the perfumer emphasizes the dry, powdery aspect too much, it's a real turnoff. This is the case with Lightscape. First off, the name is completely inappropriate for the atmosphere this features. Lightscape is waaaAAAAYyyyy too powdery! Almost like you need a huge makeup brush to apply it. For some reason, when I wear this, all I can think about are those 1970's polyester dresses. Ligthscape smells like a stuffy bedroom where a woman spilled her loose powder on the vanity and, being in a rush to get to work, has forgotten to clean up or crack a window open.

Dintotdeauna am bănuit că nu sânt mare amatoare de violete sau stânjenel pudrate, dar Lightscape m-a convins de chestia asta. Parfumul este fooooaaarte pudrat! Iti dă impresia că dacă il scuturi, ar pica praf din el, si ar trebui aplicat cu o pensula de machiaj, atât de puternic se simte pudra in el. Florile miros cât se poate de synthetic si strident, din punctul meu de vedere. Mă face să mă gândesc la rochiile acelea din rayon si poliester pe care le purtau femeile in anii '70. Numele de Lightscape nu i-se potrivește absolut deloc. Are un miros de budoir neaerisit de pe vremuri, unde o femeie și-a vărsat accidental pudra pe masa de toaletă, dar în graba de a se pregăti pentru muncă, a uitat să o curețe sau să deschidă ferestrele pentru a lăsa aerul proaspăt să intre în dormitorul ei.

Nomen est Omen

Can you buy a fragrance just because of its name?

For some mysterious reason, I am firmly convinced that I like scents with cyclamen. And a few search parameters while browsing through the Parfumo universe are indeed more than helpful, so that day I used the keyword "cyclamen."
Thus, I stumbled upon "Lightscape" and was immediately fascinated. What a word, "light landscape," in my mind's eye, wonderful mountains of clouds quickly built up in an infinitely vast, yellow-tinged sky, light, carefree, worry-free... It's quite strange what associations a single word, which you are hearing (reading) for the first time, can trigger.

Of course, I did NOT immediately buy the fragrance next but clicked on it to read more about what it was really about. Clouds seemed too improbable to me. However, the keywords galbanum, cyclamen, and violet were indeed enough to manifest an immediate, urgent desire to test it and to classify the less promising ingredients, such as cashmere wood and cedarwood, as negligible. (A recklessness that often backfires, but that's just a side note.)

Thanks to ALzD, I was soon able to test the fragrance, and sometimes the imagination aligns with reality. Thus, a bottle has indeed found its way to me. Because of its name, and because it simply smells good.

Since this is a perfume review, it would be unfortunate to put a period at this point. So what does Lightscape smell like?
This question is not so easy for me to answer, as I perceive Lightscape somehow as a whole, which is certainly also due to the not very pronounced scent development.

I would like to start with what it does not smell like: no fabric softener, no freshly showered, no freshly creamed, not aquatic, not citrusy, and (thankfully) not woody.
I would most likely describe Lightscape as a cool winter floral scent. The scent of a cyclamen on a cool windowsill, figuratively speaking.
I assume that galbanum, (alpine) violet, and iris are the main players here, creating this cold floral accord. I cannot perceive rose. The other more substantial components listed in the fragrance notes, such as musk, ambrette, tonka, etc., form the finely woven background and contribute warmth, which, in combination with the cool flowers, results in a very balanced fragrance composition.

Overall, Lightscape is a light fragrance, as the name suggests, which in English is used for the illumination of a (e.g., park) landscape or even the pure creation of a light world made up of many small lights.
It is a scent that surrounds you like a fragrant aura without drifting into clean scent vibes.
I mainly wear it for myself at home, primarily on weekends; it is exactly the "no-perfume-today" scent I have been looking for a long time.
Of course, you can also wear Lightscape outside your four walls ;-)
It has proven itself on the recent days over 30 degrees, where (for me) any stronger scent would have been too much.

I consider the fragrance suitable for year-round wear (although it does seem a bit softer in summer than in the cold season) and absolutely unisex.

One more word about the bottle. It is surprisingly light (plexiglass?) and will certainly not entice flacon aficionados with its simple appearance. But you don't buy a fragrance just because of its bottle. Or do you? ;-)

Back to the Roots

To get straight to the point, Lightscape fits into the Ulrich Lang fragrance line. Just like Anvers, we are dealing with a rather subtle and refined scent here, and that’s despite the fact that Iris is involved, which can sometimes almost overwhelm you in certain perfumes.

At the heart of the perfume is the iris-violet combination, which is framed by a slightly citrusy opening and a warm woody musk base. I found the longevity to be okay, but the sillage, even for a more discreet perfume like Lightscape, is too weak for my liking.

I can easily imagine this perfume as an office scent, as it is subtle, pleasant-smelling, and almost no one will be bothered by it. In 04 Petrana from Odin New York, Lightscape has almost a fragrance twin, aside from the slightly fruity note of Petrana.

Conclusion: Anyone curious about a violet-iris combination should definitely test Lightscape.
