Pure Joy of Life
A fragrance that conveys joy of life? Yes, it exists, I had some under my nose, and Illuminare is one such scent.
It smells wonderfully fruity, is bubbly, lively, cheeky, and fresh. What conveys more joy of life than these qualities?
....Imagine you are on a warm spring day in a blooming garden full of plum trees. The plum blossoms exude an enchanting scent that captivates you immediately. You can almost feel the joy of life that hangs in the air.
Suddenly, a fresh breeze picks up and brings the scent of bergamot and pomelo with it. These fruity aromas blend with the sweet smell of the plum blossoms, making your heart leap with joy. You feel alive and instantly in a good mood.
Then, from a distant garden, a hint of magnolia, osmanthus, and red roses drifts over. These flowers mix into the prevailing melange and merge into a cheerful composition without allowing these rather dominant blooms to take center stage.
The day progresses, you enjoy the atmosphere and mood, absorbing every little bit of it. Nothing is more valuable than joy of life and feelings of happiness.
After the fruity and floral notes have made their impact, the fragrance slowly transforms. Cedarwood, tonka bean, and suede come into play, giving the magic in the air a spicy-soft and woody base. You can almost feel how the energy and joy of life transform into a warm and cozy atmosphere. On the horizon, a mountain of musk clouds builds up, crowning it all....

Illuminare is such a wonderful fragrance that radiates pure joy of life and feelings of happiness for me. I love that.
It resembles Phytomineral quite a bit and could also be a sister to "Violet Eyes | Elizabeth Taylor." It definitely goes in a very pleasing direction and has immediately landed on my wish list.
H+S are good. Price is just as well. I find the bottle very pretty.
It was a lovely surprise, the Illuminare.

Yes, I'm blown away. So far, I love everything. I agree with your description; I'm also completely surprised by the scent, the H/S, and the unique bottle. I was made aware of the brand through a thread in this forum, which I already know from a fragrance of my husband's. The Illuminare is discussed NOWHERE-really a shame. On one hand. On the other hand: For me, it's a very special scent at a nice price-not everyone will smell like this because it's simply not well-known. Perfect. These are exactly the kinds of fragrances I'm looking for.
