WHAT I SMELL:  Lucienne’s opening is fresh with a light and airy citrus which moves quickly to a aqua magnolia that is framed by a starched and clean linen.  The perfume starts off light and then seems to rapidly intensify while retaining its freshness.  There’s a familiarity to the perfume that I can’t pinpoint, but there is something that reminds me of the way new clothes smell in an upscale store.  Continuing on, the floral turn towards the “bathtastic” with all of the familiar scents that linger after a bubble bath has been taken…along with the slight humidity.  Here the perfume is even more familiar as it takes me back to the 1970s and the smell of bathroom beads, bubble bath and shampoo.  Lucienne is lovely in that it feels like an easy to wear old friend.

THREE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE LUCIENNNE:  fresh, “bathtastic,” enjoyable

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT LUCIENNE:  No written reviews found.

BOTTOM LINE:  Lucienne is a pretty and easy to wear perfume, but it’s also rather innocuous and I could see others asking what kind of shampoo you are using when you’re wearing it.  But overall, Lucienne is a nice perfume and there’s nothing wrong with just being nice.
