What does Luminide smell like?
An IFF specialty musk built on a quinazoline skeleton unlike the nitro, polycyclic and macrocyclic musks it sits beside. Bulkaroma describes it as a clean, powdery musk, soft, with a sweet and warm top note and a pleasant hedonic profile, and tags it clean, floral, musky, powdery, soft and sweet. The warmth in the opening is what distinguishes it from the flatly laundered polycyclic musks: it reads soft and skin-like rather than detergent-clean, so it works as the rounding musk under powdery florals and soft ambers. Supplied as a colourless to pale yellow liquid to solid.
