What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
For us, Lü Bu is a scent with a quiet confidence of its own: dark, magnetic and understated. On the skin the scent opens with clove and gunpowder accord, bright and inviting during the first half hour. Then burning paper accord and iris take over and the composition reveals its true character. After three to four hours it settles into black vanilla and Tonka bean, a soft, personal finish that lingers well into the day on skin and clothing. We like to wear it best on autumn and winter evenings, for a special occasion. A scent for lovers of smoky, dark scents with character.
