To be honest, I was a bit skeptical due to the price - caramel and hazelnut have a lot of potential to smell cheap and artificial.
What can I say: I was very positively surprised - the scent is beautiful and smells much more expensive than it costs - I notice no synthetics, no sharp notes. On the contrary: it is beautifully soft, creamy, smooth, and fantastically balanced.
Although Luxe Blanc is definitely sweet, there is no sugar shock.
Even though Luxe Blanc is a gourmand, it does not smell edible - if hungry colleagues enter the staff room, they would not get false hopes of a cake.
The performance is also surprisingly good: detected at 7 AM, it is still there at 3 PM and is well perceivable.
The progression is quite linear and the overall impression slightly reminds me of This Is Her!.
