The Shadow
LUI. A lot of things remind me of a shadow in LUI. Dark and yet transparent contours that lie over you when you put it on. An intangible presence. Tender darkness surrounded by light. A scissor cut of black and white. A shadow that is difficult to classify, to whom or what it belongs. The outlines of LUI are androgynous, genderless and difficult to classify. Is it a man or is it a woman? Or is it both standing in front of or behind each other and reflecting the shadow cast like a shadow theatre of androgyny? You can't always be sure what contours LUI is taking on. But you don't have to! br />
LUI
From the first seconds on LUI smells like delicate suede on my skin. Soft, warm and almost light as a feather. A very delicate leather which seems to disintegrate more and more into dust. Tones of powdery, spicy, dry clove dust gradually cover the delicate suede, but without making it disappear completely. Filigree smoked benzoin flickers softly around and embraces balsamic, waxy-softly everything that has gone before, gently and quietly. But I can also perceive other balsamic resins. Opoponax, Peru balsam, mastic and a touch of Ethiopian incense could be it. Nothing is loud or intrusive here. All notes seem to expand and contract like a shadow. They rise and retreat without disappearing completely. LUI is a quiet fragrance, which does not mean that it has nothing to say. One never feels harassed or pressed by him in his presence. He is more the quiet friend and listener sitting in the semi-darkness than the extroverted speaker in the spotlight. Also his durability is extremely reliable. He accompanies you like a shadow throughout the day and into the evening. The Sillage of LUI is changeable and diffuse and also here like a shadow play. It shows itself again and again briefly and is already gone without attracting too much attention. But he never disappears completely!
Conclusion
LUI is certainly not without contours. It is rather the contour that outlines everything that dwells within it. It gently wraps itself around and over you without you being swallowed by its presence. It does not overshadow you completely, but allows transparency. LUI is independent and not a copy of anything. Even if it reflects or seems to touch many a big scent on its shadow cast. A Habanita, a Tabac Blond, a Black Cashmere from Donna Karan or a touch of faded Shalimar. Some of these perfumes came to my mind on my trip with LUI. Personally, LUI reminds me a lot of Tabac Blond by Caron. But it's not the fragrance itself or the notes. It's rather its aura of feminine and masculine accents and vibrations that make me think of it. For me personally, Guerlain has sent his shadow far ahead with LUI. Into hidden realms that are rather untypical for Guerlain and are more in the dark and can be found than in the light. And even if LUI is like a shadow on me, he is not in this one with me!
I think it's more than successful!
