If you like your floral perfumes then Terre de Lumière L’Eau from L'Occitane is the perfect addition to your fragrance wardrobe. Sitting within the Oriental Floral family, this is perfect for a hot Summer's Day because it is not overpowering, not overly musty and not overly sweet.
One thing I love about fragrances from L'occitane is the description given to the scent and for this one, it goes like this:
Luminous and exhilarating, Terre de Lumière L’Eau is a tender floral eau de toilette that breathes femininity.
It’s the scent of daybreak, that beautiful moment when the sun’s rays emerge gently over the horizon. Inspired by Provence at first light, the serene notes of this tender, floral fragrance evolve slowly, giving each accord the time to reveal itself fully, like the unfolding dawn…
Terre de Lumière L’Eau opens with the notes of Bergamot, Pink Pepper and Blackcurrant which give it quite a fruity hit and just as it settles, the middle note of Pink Peony re-energises the floral side of the scent and gives it, for me, that wow factor and then the base notes of Bitter Almond Essence, Tonks Bean and White Musk turn this fragrance into the most beautiful light floral fragrance which has amazing longevity on my skin.
The bottle which takes on an Ombre pattern with a sold white section at the top is circular in shape and when it captures the light, it does create a rainbow. Terre De Lumiere has a special meaning for L'Occitane and it is quite a beautiful description:
As the day draws to a close, the sky is set alight, embracing all the shades of gold. Beauty is suspended in time as this stunning spectacle reaches its height. This is the golden hour. Meaning "land of light", L'OCCITANE's new collection is inspired by the special time of day in Provence known as the golden hour... A short moment at dusk as the sun falls and the sky fills with golden and purple light. The air is filled with the most fragrant Provençal scents.As well as Terre de Lumière L’Eau, the L'Occitane fragrance collection is quite extensive and well worthy of looking into here. For this scent, it comes in two sizes 50ml (£49) and 90ml (£65).
