Notes









Luna commences with a tangy citrus accord that balances sweetness and tartness. This is followed by a prominent rose note, which subtly conceals a blend of green, woody elements. The harmony of juniper berries and balsam fir seamlessly integrates with the crisp rose, ultimately merging into the sweet-tart essence of the citrus. This cohesion yields a refreshing, pleasing scent that, however, falls short of my personal taste due to its understated nature. In my opinion, Luna does not evoke lunar connotations; instead, it recalls the dawn's sweetness and morning sun's warmth. As the fragrance evolves over time, it transforms from crisp and invigorating to a soft, sweet freshness. I envision a young professional woman taking an early-morning jog as the sun rises.
I adore Luna! There's something enigmatic and alluring about it that exudes a captivating allure. The initial top notes are quintessential citrus, yet they seamlessly evolve into an exceptional floral note with whispers of musk. As someone who cherishes rose scents, I found myself struggling to detect the rose in the middle notes - its beauty is simply too subtle. Nevertheless, this perfume has a profound effect on me, making me feel undeniably sensual. 🌹💃
On paper, this perfume didn't quite capture my attention, but once applied to my skin, it unfolds as a delightful blend of floral and citrus notes, with a pleasant juiciness and subtle tartness. While I wasn't expecting a strong lemon presence (thankfully), the mandarin component shines through, evoking a sweet rose and citrus accord that gradually settles into a soft rose fragrance. The overall impression is one of lightness, airiness, cleanliness, youthfulness, and optimism – making it an ideal choice for warm weather.
This perfume has me questioning my entire taste spectrum. Typically, I'm not fond of citruses or white flowers; I prefer richer scents like amber, oud, musk, and spices. However, this fragrance is surprisingly bubbly and innocent, evoking a sense of purity, softness, and cleanliness. It reminds me of carefree moments from my past, such as taking a midnight bath while lost in thought. This perfume has an uncanny ability to reconnect me with myself on a deep level, leaving me feeling healed and like I'm wearing a piece of myself.
I was seeking a new citrus fragrance with superior longevity and suitable for daytime wear.
