About

Le Cri de la Lumière opens with a blast of sparkling aldehydes and bright bergamot, uplifted by a tart hint of raspberry. The heart unfurls into a delicate rose and powdery iris, creating an ethereal, almost cool floral blend. This rests on a clean musky foundation, with subtle woody and earthy nuances, giving it an airy yet grounded presence. It evokes a sense of pristine modern elegance.
