Mood changing jewel
As soon as I acquired this fragrance and I sprayed it on my skin (it was a blind buy, because I already own and love The One for Men Eau de Parfum , so a clone of The One Luminous Night could not hurt my senses too much), and a ruthless blast of heavy incense overwhelmed my nose to the point I instantly put it back into its packaging and decided to resell it.

But, deep down, the fragrance was telling me much more than just an initial blast of heavy incense, so I decided to let it sit for some time and see if its tantrum went away.

After 1 month, not only the tantrum went away, but also this fragrance greeted me so gently I decided to make it one of my mains in my rotation.

Even if the incense is perceived by my brain in a very subtle and tamed way (even as an almost imaginary hint if that makes sense), it is still present rounding and guarding this scent.

I cannot get much of the bergamot, but I do get the basil and pepper at the top, mixing with a delicious sweet date note (it is not at all overly sweet, as I am able to compare it with fragrances where the contrary is true like Le Mâle Elixir or Ambassador for Men , 2 fragrances that I have big love for).

The same or reminiscent ambery / sandalwood final touches and scent holders that happen in The One for Men Eau de Parfum also happen here, but this time in a way that goes more in the direction of creaminess in Lumière Garçon instead of the orange leaf slightly aromatic / slightly fruity personality (even if it's not a protagonist) of The One for Men Eau de Parfum , making them differ also, and redirecting this bit of airiness of the final smell in the air of The One for Men Eau de Parfum , where the ambery drydown takes its way progressively, into a more robust and creamy finish in Lumière Garçon due to the dates mainly.

In general I am extremely happy with this purchase, and will definitely refill when I run out of this beautiful, inviting, warm, sweet (not at all overly), alluring fragrance.

Spicy and fruity bomb
This fragrance smells fruity, spicy and sweet. It actually hasn't got a synthetic opening on my skin, and is a pleasant journey to experience. I think it's a nice spring/autumn fragrance.

I can definitely smell some of the pepper, amber, sandalwood and date, and they blend in very well. Now as a clone, I don't think it's a very complicated fragrance that has a lot of changes to it, but for a casual day, it definitely does the job. You just have to have the certain mood to wear it. I'd wear it when I'm walking or just having an off day. It feels relaxed and fun!

On my skin it lasts about 8 hours and the Silage is mid, it doesn't project too much but isn't too low. It's definitely fine. I like it as I have a strong character and putting this on makes me feel that I'm having an easy day!

I would say it's a safe buy and the bottle looks pretty neat with the big cap.

Compared to niche fragrance it's 6/10 and as a clone it's a 8/10. I don't know exactly the counterpart but it is fine. I like that one. For a 50€ price tag it is good & worth the price if it's a fragrance to add to your expanding collection.

Very helpful Review 6  
Unfortunately not for me (The One Luminous Night Alternative)
I have heard a lot of positive things about "The One Luminous Night | Dolce & Gabbana," so I was quite curious about the dupe that FA has brought to the market with "Lumière Garçon | French Avenue."

I first tested LG in a perfumery specializing in oriental scents and was not impressed at all.
I thought it might be due to me.
That evening, I had several fragrances under my nose and somehow I wasn't perceiving everything very well, so I needed a decant.
But even the decant did not suit my taste at all, so it wasn't my nose after all.

I was looking forward to a sweet, slightly smoky date scent and got an opening with a lot of pepper, balsam, and incense.
I found the pepper to be far too overpowering.
Pepper is one of those notes that I can't stand if not done well.

I can barely detect the bergamot in the opening; unfortunately, it gets quite overshadowed.
That's a pity, as it would have benefited the opening or the fragrance in general.

In the dry down, it becomes a bit more pleasant due to the sweetness of the amber.
However, it doesn't smell sweet at any point in my opinion; the dates should have been much more prominent, but I unfortunately don't perceive them at all.
Instead, I can smell the incense a bit stronger in the dry down.
This note causes the fragrance to develop a smokiness that is not very pleasant for me.

LG remains smoky until the end, quite peppery, and very subtly sweet.
Unfortunately, it's not a fragrance I would ever consider purchasing.

Performance is moderate; it could be stronger.
And it is definitely more of a fragrance for the male world (M85%/15%W).

Despite my rather negative review, I would still recommend that if you're curious, definitely get a decant and see for yourself whether it might be for you or not, because tastes are thankfully different.

The Luminous Night? Well, in parts
Lumière Garçon is said to be inspired by The Luminous Night by Dolce & Gabbana. Admittedly, I haven't smelled that fragrance in ages, but I believe that Lumière Garçon does have some parallels.
However, I liked The Luminous Night a whole lot better back then. It had a somewhat typical designer touch, but still felt "different" in some way. It's difficult to describe. I really liked it for a Dolce & Gabbana fragrance.

Lumière Garçon starts with a slightly peppery bergamot.
The scent then gradually shifts into a warm and sweet corner. Towards the end, a nice and truly pleasant hint of incense comes in.

What I somehow don't like about Lumière Garçon is this noticeably more intense synthetic quality this time. The fragrances I have been able to test from French Avenue didn't have this in that form. What a pity!

Longevity and sillage are perfectly fine. On my skin, the fragrance lasts about seven hours and projects quite sufficiently.
The scent is also wonderfully unisex wearable.

On the skin mau, in the sillage Wow!
I don't know the "original," so I can't comment on the similarity.

When I first tested Lumière Garçon with a spritz on my forearm, I wasn't particularly impressed. On the skin, the top note comes across as herbal, somewhat musty at times. This persisted for quite a while...

In a second test, I approached it with a bit more boldness. 2 sprays on each forearm, one on the neck. After a brief fresh start with the bergamot, I again detected that herbal-musty note on my skin (probably from the pepper). Disappointment.
So I took my nose off my arm and turned to other things.
And then... again and again, this soft warm scent wafted into my nose. Wonderful! Sometimes the incense would flash through - and it was quite sacred. But in combination with the other fragrance notes, it was very pleasant and interesting.
Overall, a very nice scent that can definitely be worn on not too hot summer days.

My recommendation to everyone who wants to test the fragrance: Pay attention to the sillage and don't apply the scent too sparingly.

About the bottle: Well. That cap... one can also go overboard.

I own The One Luminous Night and I think the dupe from FA is very well done. 95% directly on the skin compared.

Oriental, spicy, fresh-sweet. I really like the scent, hard to describe what’s happening here. Complex and more of a niche fragrance. Strong.

Honestly, it's not my thing. Smells more synthetic than usual for FA and has a very short longevity!

A great sexy scent. I don't know the original, but it's said to be very close to D&G Luminous Night. Warm, sweet, a bit spicy, good.

Starts with a lightly peppery bergamot. Then it gets warmer & sweet. In the end, a hint of incense. Unfortunately, everything feels too synthetic.

I don't know The One, but this is a solid sweet sage date scent that you don't smell everywhere.
