Meo Fusciuni Luce Review (Giuseppe Imprezzabile) 2013 +Between Light and Dark Giveaway

Meo Fusciuni Luce

Meo Fusciuni Luce is part of a poem cycle of two fragrances, Luce and Notturno, light and dark, a ying and yang of perfume that feed into each other. Notturno was one of the first perfumes I experienced from Giuseppe Imprezzabile’s hands; memories from my now emptied sample are of this boozy swirl of spiced floral ink that left its epitaph inscribed on soft leather and on my skin. A dark note of love enrobed in a swirl of mysterious incense, glowing with a golden amber warmth. Its scented words have stayed close in my mind since experiencing Notturno’s dark beauty.

Meo Fusciuni Luce takes Notturno’s words into its heart, letting its meaning resonate in the leathers, drawing those notes inward forming this creamy sensual woody vanilla leather musk. In Luce we get balance; it takes the darkness of Notturo adding a new structure allowing the materials to be what they are, while functioning. For me there’s something of moonlight too, it has that strange beautiful glow making the colours meld into this creamy light and giving it this mysterious stillness.

Aram Saroyan and image of his poem “lighght”

The use of materials in Meo Fusciuni Luce gives you this beautiful enticing effect, one that grabs your attention drawing you into this instant of self-reflection and light. Two things come to mind as I smell Luce and get lost in its beauty, the first is “lighght”, a minimalist one-word poem by American poet Adam Saroyan, his minimal poems are meant to be seen as much as read, giving the immediacy of an image, with the physicality of sculpture and in a way that for me feels close to how we experience scent. Sculpture, poetry and perfumery are all linked too, they all involve this carving and refinement of materials to relay the message to those experiencing the work, it allows you the space and time to reflect on its form, feeling, tones and meanings. Just like the careful insertion of the extra ‘gh’ into the word poem “lighght”, it’s refracting the image of the word, just like the materials used here bending light and dark tones so smoothly around each other.

The Passion according to G.H.

Clarice Lispector and the Passion According to G.H. New Directions edition

Clarice Lispector’s mystical novel The Passion According to G.H. also comes to mind when I smell Luce. It’s a story that takes place in the moment, where G.H. is locked in deep moment of contemplation, considering her experience of the events of the past day and how it connects with an instant (I won’t spoil the novel). Luce has this very meditative feel, almost like it has stopped time. It’s like the story exists in this space of silence and thought, the materials of the perfume have this inward feel, bringing you closer into this quiet moment. Like Clarice Lispector’s novel, Meo Fusciuni Luce captures the complexity of human nature, where darkness and light can exist simultaneously in thought and being, there is no edges just a smooth flow of thinking in a quiet space.

Meo Fusciuni Luce has me thinking of some classic Guerlains such as Jicky and Shalimar with an Italian twist. Luce is more paired back to this sensual woody leather and herbal creamy benzoin musk. All the flowers of the Guerlain’s are gone with a darker more intense passion at play in Luce, it’s got this elegant stripped back feel with that raw seductive leather and sweetness, while patchouli, tobacco and resins tease this smooth supple sensation into sweet purring pleasures, with that Italian green herbal twist, inherit in the many of the classic Italian perfumes of the past while also giving a nod to Giuseppe Imprezzabile’s past as an herbalist.

Meo Fusciuni Luce opens with a moonlight glow of benzoin turning birch into this soft leathery sweetness, with a creamy pale woodiness and cedar musk. The leather has a gentle purr to it, a soft fur that’s cosy, with creamy amber and sandalwood giving it this softly sensual powdery feel, or rather a feel of tobacco in a pouch that you pinch and pull out, a soft light woody powder, with a sweet darkness. Greens arrive with fir and patchouli adding an earthy grounded forest feel to the composition, its rounded and sweeten by benzoin and vanilla, which in turn plays off the birch and cedar forming this seamless feel. It’s very hard to tease this apart, as one material leads you to the next, like a snake eating its tail.

Gentle herbal facets keep it from being gourmand, placing it back into a more natural musk territory, yet it also has this herbal liquor quality, from patchouli and benzoin’s richness. It fizzes adding this quietly playful alluring side, while a subtle char of labdanum adds whispers of darkness to the soft creamy moonlight of Meo Fusciuni Luce. These resins add depth and again tease out the soft animalic side of the leather, making Luce’s ambient musk haze this a very sensual, refined wear. The way the notes are used to add tones of light and shade is rather beautiful and you can see the influence of the architect, Louis Kahn on this composition, there’s an elegant balance of shape and form in his construction which mirrors the composition of Meo Fusciuni Luce, the materials too feel seamless, yet gives this a beautiful form, exuding confidence while also feeling Zen like, almost as if it’s a soft earthy leather musk incense to contemplate.

Luce feels as elusive and as beautiful as moonlight, quietly confident and creating this contemplative space that flows seamlessly between light and dark. Even the smallest can last a thousand years; Meo Fusciuni Luce gives me an eternity to dream.

    A fragrance as beautiful and elusive as moonlight. A moonlight glow of benzoin turning birch into a soft leathery sweetness. Sounds appealing to me. I’d love to win a bottle. I live in Maryland USA.

  • I love that one word poem!

    I am not familiar with meo Fusciuni, but Luce sounds very appealing. I appreciate Wearescentient pulling ideas about light, dark, and architecture into the review: I would love to experience them worked out olfactively.
    Thanks for the review and giveaway!

  • Meo Fusciuni Luce seems like a herbal gourmand and the references to classic Guerlains like Shalimar makes this one enticing. I am in US.

  • I’ve been quite intrigued by this brand ever since I first laid eyes on their bottles and accompanying artwork. It’s all so dark and mysterious, just my type of aesthetic. Sadly, I have yet to try any of their offerings as samples have not been easy to track down. Luce sounds like a gorgeous fragrance. I am a big fan of benzoin and soft leathers and Luce appears to be a delicate dance of those two notes. I am intrigued by the charred labdanum mentioned in Wearescentient’s essay. I imagine the smokiness would add a wonderfully dark nuance to the soft resins as well as bring out some of the deeper tones within the leather as well. Luce sounds like a simply wonderful creation and I would love the chance to get my nose on it. Best of luck to everyone. I live in NC, USA.

  • I’m still working on getting a bottle of Little Song, I haven’t tried any other fragrances from this house yet. I gravitate to darker fragrances so the idea of light and dark intrigues me. This fragrance contains several of my favorite notes so I’m certain it would be right for me.

    Indiana USA

  • I do enjoy Notturno and Little Song. All of the notes in Luce are some of my favorite. I enjoyed reading about the poet Adam Saroyan. The description of Luce having a “herbal liquor quality, from patchouli and benzoin’s richness” caught my attention. Thanks for another wonderful review and draw. Mich USA

  • liquidasset77 says:

    Something too lush in the mid caters to patchouli lovers but surely an enriched with soft inviting cedar. lightly mood enhance harmony of natural smelling facets. michigan usa

  • I don’t know where I’ve been! But looking after looking up the notes this is so up my alley with tobacco being one of my favorite notes! This seems like it would be such a lovely fragrance and quite smooth esp with the boozy/patchouli aspect! This would definitely be something more of a dressy date night or a fun evening with the friends and family. Would be a blessing to add this to my collection. Much love from PA USA!!

  • I really like Meo Fusciuni wide range of imagination , and the poetic treat he serves us with his perfumes. If he was a Chef, most likely he would’ve been a Michelin 3☆ restaurant owner and Chef.
    I’ll be happy to win Luce , it sits in between light and dark, and feels somehow melancholic.
    Little Song id my favorite Meo Fusciuni fragrance
    Appreciate J Wearescentient first review, and the giveaway campaign

  • The fact that Luce feels as elusive and as beautiful as moonlight really sparks my interest. A poem cycle sounds very intriguing. This perfume is really something different. It has such a mesmerising appeal to it. I live in Trzebnica, Poland, EU. I never tried this masterpiece house so I don’t really have a favorite but Luce sounds like something that could be my favorite.

  • Regis Monkton says:

    Like Jorum Studio, Meo Fusciuni is one of the fragrance companies I’ve been most interested in familiarizing myself with. I’d like to try Meo Fusciuni Luce for multiple reasons. Even though this one might not intrigue me as much as their more incense-focused fragrances, I’m still very interested in trying it. I like to hear about its muskiness, and that it has a herbal liquor quality from patchouli and benzoin’s richness. I like to hear that it’s a very sensual, refined wear, and that it’s a soft earthy leather musk incense to contemplate. I’d love to win a bottle of it. I live in the U.S.A.

    Absolutely love this line.
    Love the idea of a sort of yin and yang in a work of fragrances.

    Hope to win but will look for both scents to experience.

  • The dark “floral ink” descriptive was evocative, but there are no flower notes listed, interesting impression. A black watercolour of trees, softened by buttery tropical yellow flower vanilla pods, wrapped around a tall and towering ancient cedar, two plants I’m sure would never encounter each other in the wild of nature, but what can make a perfume so magical, by bringing them together. Sounds elegant and confident, dark and light, delicate and grand, una strana armonia. ~ Genevieve, domicile in 2 countries: Italy/Canada

  • Meo Fusciuni Luce opens with a moonlight glow of benzoin turning birch into this soft leathery sweetness, with a creamy pale woodiness and cedar musk. The leather has a gentle purr to it, a soft fur that’s cosy, with creamy amber and sandalwood giving it this softly sensual powdery feel, or rather a feel of tobacco in a pouch that you pinch and pull out, a soft light woody powder, with a sweet darkness. Greens arrive with fir and patchouli adding an earthy grounded forest feel to the composition, its rounded and sweeten by benzoin and vanilla, which in turn plays off the birch and cedar forming this seamless feel. It’s very hard to tease this apart, as one material leads you to the next, like a snake eating its tail. A tantalising description really fascinated by the notes especially Patchouli, Benzoin, Leather, Tobacco and Sandalwood. Thanks a million from the UK

  • I sampled Luce some time ago and I remember fully enjoying this light tobacco scent. I had not heard of Adam Saroyan prior today and I shall look him up. Thank you John for this review and thank you Meo for the giveaway.

  • I think when you have written a piece describing the scent as “as elusive and as beautiful as moonlight”, there is no doubt that every reader, myself included, would be captivated and adore the opportunity to smell Luce. I would also eventually love to smell Notturno in order to understand the pairing or dichotomy. Having never encountered Meo Fusciuni fragrances, I am very interested in discovering this niche brand. The notes for Luce sound like a dark yet comforting and mysterious blend. Hoping sincerely to get chance at smelling this fragrance, thank you for hosting the giveaway! I am from Canada.

  • hippononamus says:

    The essayist’s comparisons to Luce being like moonlight as well as it coming across almost like an incense really interest me about this fragrance. I’ve been meaning to try Notturno, but never had much interest in this one until now. I’ve still yet to try a Meo Fusciuni, but I now have several I hope to try. I’m in the US.

  • “Gentle herbal facets keep it from being gourmand, placing it back into a more natural musk territory, yet it also has this herbal liquor quality, from patchouli and benzoin’s richness.” YUM. This feels Like a dark amber yummy vibe, Like if i want to be a dark fairy. Also want to explore this brand. Im from eu

  • Thank you for a wonderful read, Wearescentient!
    Luce sounds absolutely delightful in your words. A timeless, floating, flowing, suspended fragrance as still as moonlight which bears a resemblance to the Guerlain classics, and at the same time nods at Giuseppe Imprezzabile’s past as a herbalist. A Shalimar / Jicky with an Italian twist, added passion and sensuality and an absolutely lovely array of notes.
    Commenting from the EU and I have not yet had the chance to experience any creation by Meo Fusciuni.

  • I love the comparison to the novel, “Luce has this very meditative feel, almost like it has stopped time. It’s like the story exists in this space of silence and thought, the materials of the perfume have this inward feel, bringing you closer into this quiet moment.” What a beautiful and creative way to think about a perfume. I’m in the USA.

  • I’m not acquainted with Meo Fusciuni, but Luce appears to be highly captivating. I admire the concepts of light, darkness, and architecture in the review. Many thanks for providing the review and hosting the giveaway! New Jersey, USA

  • I imagine the balanced representations in the Italian Arts in a form of Chiaroscuro, or Yin and Yang in this article. It will be a deep and complex experience to wear this perfume. I look forward to it!
    From New York

  • this sounds meditative and cozy, with leather and light….thank you for the review and the draw. in the US.

  • johnmadison says:

    Thank you for this profound essay on Meo Fusciuni Luce, Wearescentient. The way this fragrance feels of elusive moonlight and captures the space between light and dark is something very beautiful that I would love to experience myself.
    John – Minnesota, USA

  • Before reading the review, I was expecting something bright, full of movement and vividness, at least that’s how Luce translated into my mind. After the review, I’m thinking about stillness, a peace and quiet that are easily disturbed by the fall of a leaf, the sound of a light rain (or should I say lighght? ), and over all, the shining light of the moon. Judging by the notes, I can’t quite imagine the same, maybe because I have only sampled one of Meo Fusciuni’s fragrances, and my senses keep coming back to that.
    Thanks for the review and the draw, from Europe.

  • wandering_nose says:

    Thank you, J Wearescentient! This was brilliant. Hoping to read more of your reviews on here. The moment I saw the magical bottle design again, I was instantly pulled in… to have a closer look and satiate my curiosity. But when I read that Luce, just like the moonlight, has this very meditative feel, almost like it has stopped time – I was infatuated. And still am. Love the associations with the unique works of poetry and literature, the search for a deeper meaning. Woody, musky, leathery, herbal and resinous, Luce couldn’t be more up my alley. It seems to have lots of depth, just like its darker counterpart Notturno did. No surprises there – Giuseppe Imprezzabile appears to me as the truest alchemist, his creations to be revered. I am still waiting for my time to experience them, and I know that sooner or later the time will come. Thank you for the draw, I am in the EU

  • What a lovely and evocative essay (which also makes me want to read that Lispector novel)! But it’s the description of the scent itself that most intrigues me. I’m a huge fan of Guerlain’s Jicky. And if Luce makes Wearescentient think of an Italian variation of that masterpiece, sign me up! I’ve never had the opportunity to smell anything from Meo Fusciuni, but I certainly look forward to doing so. I’m in Oklahoma, USA.

  • What a poetic review! Fragrance in light and dark. I remember the review on Cafleurebon for Notturno. Luce seems to build upon Notturno and presenting a creamy, woody, vanilla, leathery musk. The example of Luce feeling as elusive and beautiful as moonlight is lovely. I’m in the US.

  • I love an animalic leather, but I can be nervous to wear them – Luce sounds like it balances this quality with the benzoin and herbal elements in a way that sounds gorgeous! I would love the opportunity to try it. My current favorite from the brand is the gorgeous Encore du Temps. And it’s fun to see Wearescentient’s review on here as I’ve been following them on Instagram for quite some time. I’m in MN, USA!

  • I have never tried Meo Fusciuni; the name is new to me, but the work sounds intriguing. The art comparisons take me back a bit to my art school days and make me a little sentimental, but the moonlight chiaroscuro comparisons make the fragrances sound like must-haves for the coming dark seasons as fall and winter come at us. I believe I will be looking out for Notturno too!

  • Beautiful review, J. I enjoyed the literary allusions to Adam Saroyan and Clarice Lispector, both of whom are new to me. Regarding the perfume, Meo Fusciui’s note list for Luce immediately caught my attention; it combines some of my favorite notes, especially moving out of summer into autumn and winter. In particular, the benzoin musk combined with creamy herbal elements sounds distinct and unusual, especially over birch-woody leather. The seamless blending also sounds exceptional. I haven’t tried Meo Fusciui perfume yet and Luce sounds like a perfect start.

    I’m in the USA. Thanks for the giveaway!

  • RonaldProkes17 says:

    What a wonderful essay/review by Wearescentient! I love hoe Giuseppe weaves in so many sources of inspiration into his compositions. He clearly contemplates very deeply about what inspires him and deconstructs it, then reconstructs it again into fragrance form. He is a true artist and I remember the first time I smelled his compositions they were completely transportive. I fell in love with Little Song – it is such a brilliant perfume that evokes quiet coffee shops and bohemian cultures of the past. I also own a bottle of Varanasi and it is one of my favorite perfumes ever. I can’t even begin to describe it here, but it is such a gorgeous, unapologetic, and balanced perfume. Anyway, I loved reading Wearescentient’s review, because he honored the composition with introducing the poetry that inspired the composition, Giuseppe’s intention’s and influences such as the brilliant Louis Kahn shine through and Wearescentient’s review really shows how ‘light’ in the true sense of the word this perfume is. We cannot appreciate light without darkness and often forget how complex light is, because we are always surrounded by it. Luce sounds like an incredibly complex perfume that is not weighed down by its headiness and the intellectual sources that inspired it. It sounds deceptively simple and yet all carrying. Wearescentient’s review highlights the seamless incorporation of the notes. I think it’s brilliant that Giusseppe was able to use typically heavy notes such as leather and patchouli with such a light touch. I love the evocation of dark and light images in the review and truly shows how affected Wearescentient was by this lovely composition.

  • Well written essay by Wearescentient of *Meo Fusciuni Luce. What intrigued my interest in this fragrance was the mention of it being elusive and as beautiful as moonlight. Flowing between Light and dark in an elegant eternal dream. I have yet to try an offering from the brand. Thanks for the chance to explore the magic. Greetings from the USA.

  • Mr. Imprezzabile is a true artist, so are his scents pieces of art? olfactory poestry? Luce is a perfume poem cycle with Notturno : here Meo presents the Light as opossed to de Dark/Notturno, but it is more the Moonlight when darkness and light exist simultaneously. Isn´t our human nature the same, dark and light coexist at the same time. He uses resins (benzoin &) birch to give a soft leathery sweetness, soft creamy amber & sandalwood all very sensual and refined to wear. A scent full of mystery for us to discover. I live in Spain, EU.

  • Michael Prince says:

    What interests me based on Wearescentient’s essay and review of Meo Fusciuni Luce is learning how Luce and Notturno compare and contrast with each other like a Yin and Yang opposites with Notturno being the dark and Luce being the light. I also love how detailed Wearescentient writes their blog. I loved learning more about Meo Fusciuni (Giuseppe Imprezzabile) and his brand Meo Fuscini. Luce sounds like something I would truly love featuring Tobacco, Resins, woody notes, and Vanilla. My favorite fragrance from Meo Fuscini is Little Song. I am from the USA.

  • Shibuichi2000 says:

    A dark forest under the moonlight, vegetation swinging under the breeze, shadows and distant light, that creeps between the foliage, everything shrouded in a eerie silence – that’s where Luce takes me.
    I loved reading your review, it’s a mix of passion, information and reverie.
    I’m in EU.

  • It’s very interesting that JScentient used a connection between poetry and architecture. The Passion according to GH is on my reading list now. Meo Fusciuni Luce has me thinking of some classic Guerlains such as Jicky and Shalimar with an Italian twist. That is what sold me. I am a fan of Meo Fusciuni and bought a bottle of Little Song. A discovery set is on order, or at least samples. Thank you USA

  • This sounds stunning. This line is poetry in a bottle for sure. I love L’oblio. Meo came to my local shop for an event, I am truly sad that I didn’t attend. I hear it was a wonderful evening. Shalimar with an Italian twist….wow. Light and darkness simultaneously coexisting sounds like a good thing. Beautifully written review. Thanks for the kindness of Meo. USA.

  • J Wearescentient you’re very much welcomed to Cafleurebon 🙂
    I really like when a reviewer / contributor (whatever suits you) ends sharing thoughts with something like “As always, my opinions are my own” , perfumery is not a math , people perceive fragrances differently based on experience, body chemistry, skin and so on.
    It’s been a pleasure reading your article, even though my opinion of Luce is quite different than yours.
    I’ll start with my overall opinion of Meo Fusciuni, a brand made by a connoisseur , for connoisseurs only.I genuinely believe Giuseppe Imprezzabile almost encoded his soul into brand’s DNA.
    if I have to rate my favorite ones:
    1.Little song
    2. Luce
    3. Notturno / 3# Nota di Viaggio Ciavuru d’Amuri (first formulation)
    I know Luce was made to be the Yang counterbalance of Notturno, but to me is more of a close Ying relative , it’s still quite dark.

    “Meo Fusciuni Luce has me thinking of some classic Guerlains such as Jicky and Shalimar with an Italian twist”

    Shalimar ? Interesting parallel, maybe distant relatives, to me Luce is closer to the modern interpretations of Shalimar like Millesime Tonka . Personally I see nothing in common between Jicky and Luce. If I have to make a comparison of my own , I’d say Or du Serail by Naomi Goodsir, composed by Bertrand Duchaufour , Luce to me is dark , but also quite sweet take on modern amber with lots of tobacco, patchouli, boozy and resinous drydown, on top of cozy suede leather.
    Little Song I own

    Thanks a lot

  • Funny, reading about leather and herbal, Bandit came to mind, but after reading all the description, pretry sure they are nothing in common.
    My favorite from Giuseppe is Little Song.
    Thanks, I am in the EU.

  • The dim glow of the benzoin combining with the birch to create this lovely, creamy leather note, is stuff of dreams for sure. Although this supposedly has an animalic facet, this perfume sounds to be so heavenly blended that I couldn’t possibly fret it’s inclusion. I have not smelled anything from this brand before. I live in Sweden, EU.

  • Leonarda K. says:

    I’m completely taken aback by the concept behind Luce and Notturno. The idea of encapsulating the interplay between light and dark within a perfume is something I haven’t encountered before.
    What really sparks my interest is the base, those mysterious resinous elements, which remind me of hot climates and scorching sun in parts of the world where they’re harvested. To me, those base notes always remind me of inner peace, contemplation and meditation and I can see how the author managed to perfectly integrate them into a perfume whose concept is light. As I like to compare fragrances to some real life situations, pictures, sounds and “vibes”, I can imagine myself meditating in a quiet place during golden hour. I’m also interested to know how the fresher and green notes play into the concept, because they’re not something I associate with light and sun.

    This fragrance seems to be an artful composition that captures the essence of both daytime radiance and nighttime enigma. I’d love to experience how “Luce” unfolds on my skin and how the fragrant story between light and darkness develops. I haven’t tried any perfumes by Meo Fuscini yet. Greetings from Croatia, EU.

  • I’ve been captivated by this brand ever since I first set my eyes on its intriguing bottles and accompanying artwork. The dark and mysterious aesthetic aligns perfectly with my taste. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the opportunity to try any of their offerings yet, as finding samples has been quite a challenge. Luce, with its blend of benzoin and soft leather, sounds absolutely enchanting. I’m particularly intrigued by the mention of charred labdanum in Wearescentient’s essay. I can imagine the smoky element adding a beautifully dark twist to the gentle resins and revealing the deeper tones within the leather. Luce seems like a marvelous creation, and I’m eager to experience its scent. Wishing the best of luck to everyone.
    I’m in the USA, and I’m also a follower on Instagram.

  • Wearescentient did an amazing job in this essay and review.
    My favorite Meo Fusciuni fragrance is Narcotico until now. I think that the quality that the brand delivers is out of this world.
    Luce is something I must try asap.
    The soft leathery notes, the musk, the birch and the herbal fascets make it for me something at least worth trying. I will love to win this one.
    USA here.

  • J Wearescentient review truly conveyed the depth and mystery of Meo Fusciuni fragrances, almost religious experience.
    Luce I’m curious about because of the seductive properties with darker leather and patch, together with tobacco and woods.
    I’ve never smelled Meo Fusciuni fragrances before , Notturno and Luce poem of cycle I’d like to know the most
    Thanks for the draw

    Meo Fusciuni Luce charisma is so appealing to me. Some light , but mostly darker notes and tones are effectively used by the aromatorio , at the same time I find te fragranse not gloomy , but tranquil . The leather, tobacco and the resins I’m looking for the most .
    I believe Luce will suit me well, complex and enigmatic fragrance .All Black Everything monochromatic outfit is what I’m thinking right now.
    The extra art/architecture information i enjoyed a lot. I have no experience with the house.

    Greetings everyone
    Through Meo Fusciuni unique background , unparalleled fragrances, and J Wearescentient essay images of Enigma , the most expensive black diamond in the world came to mind.
    Could the alchemist like Meo Fusciuni create comparable to rare black diamonds perfumes? I think he can , and he did already by creating Luce , peace of mind artistic fragrance I’m attracted to . It’s not just the smell, it’s the artistry, the poem cycle ,and J Wearescentient essay, the full package.
    Thank you, American living in Paris France

  • I like the relaxing , and spiritual properties of Meo Fusciuni’s fragrances, and personality.
    Laid back , free your mind and soul is the hidden message in all his creations.
    No wonder

    “Meo Fusciuni Luce is part of a poem cycle of two fragrances, Luce and Notturno, light and dark, a ying and yang of perfume that feed into each other.”

    Both are mysterious, both sophisticated and both do have boozy aspects. I perceive wine in Luce , together with leather, tobacco and something herbal.
    Little Song is my favorite Meo Fusciuni fragrance
    Thank you for the opportunity

    I have yet to a Meo Fusciuni fragrance but wow this seems lovely!
    The integration of the warm and sensual vanilla, with the woody tones and leather nuances really have my interested. It really seems like a power blend that will be smooth and enveloping
    It sounds unique yet very wearable and comforting for us fragrance lovers.
    Located in Canada!
    Can’t wait, thank you

  • Luce has some of the notes that I love most – vanilla, leather, sandalwood, amber and tobacco. I mean, what is not to like here?
    I already made a picture in my mind on how this one should smell and I am very curious if it is how Wearescentient perceives it.
    Thanks for the draw and for the review.

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thank you for the wonderfully detailed review.

    I’m really grateful to have been introduced to the poem of Aram Saroyan and have been looking it up and reading about the minimalist inspirations.

    I do see a lot of that in Luce. The minimalism in the notes paints an olfactory picture than one can tease an infinite meaning and direction from.

    Such a wonderfulcomposition that I would love to sample.

    Cheers from WI, USA
