Comment: Lux is part of the Signature Collection
Lux commences with a gloriously rich, full-bodied and tart citrus opening, before a vile wax accord intrudes and throws the composition into utter disarray. From this moment onwards, it never completely recovers – smelling more like Lemon Pledge furniture polish, with both a poorly executed and directionless second half of powdery woods and vanilla.
With notes such as lemon, petitgrain, vanilla and musk, Guerlain's Jicky could have been Lux's main source of inspiration. But, even if this was the case, it's nothing more than a crude imitation.
