Quick answer: Luminos is the creamier, more floral one: apple and a Blue Java banana accord over white florals, rose and tuberose, finishing on amber, cashmere wood and an ice-cream note. Silent Whisper is simpler and fresher: apple, honeydew and melon over lily of the valley and amber, with vanilla. Both are moderate fruity extraits for summer.
Mykonos Luminos and Mykonos Silent Whisper both open with apple and both sit in the Fruity family. Luminos is a creamy, many-layered floral; Silent Whisper is the quiet, melon-fresh one.
