Bath & Body Works Luminous ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 5 October 2023 10 Comments

Bath & Body Works has launched Luminous, a new holiday 2023 fragrance for women.

What it smells like: radiant, decadent and sparkling.

Fragrance notes: ruby currant, gilded iris and praline amber.

***

"For me, Luminous is a joyful celebration of modern femininity. The fragrance is brilliant yet sensual and exquisitely nuanced with an air of addiction," said David Apel, Senior Perfumer at Symrise. "The ingredients selected were very intentional — I wanted to give the fragrance a multidimensional signature with warmth, levity, elegance and most importantly, power and trail. Luminous moves with you and is a manifestation of what inspires you to live authentically and fully."

Bath & Body Works Luminous is available in $60 for 50 ml Eau de Parfum, and is also sold in 29 other body and home fragrance items

    I tried this the other day. It is very similar to Sensual Amber. A good one for fall.

    An air of addiction. So, like crack? As a house, user or the remnants in the pipe?
