The "Deep Dive"

The Dry-Down

As Luna dries down, the initial burst of sharp citrus quickly mellows into a softly sweet floral bouquet primarily ruled by rose with subtle hints of jasmine. The woody and musky undertones emerge gradually, combining with ambergris to create a slightly creamy background that enhances the florals without overpowering them. The juniper berry maintains a slightly spicy edge throughout, adding complexity to the blend's overall freshness. This fragrance transitions beautifully over time, maintaining its appeal for those who enjoy a harmonious interplay of citrus and floral notes.

Who should wear it?

For those who enjoy fresh, citrus-floral scents with subtle complexity, Luna suits confident individuals with a quiet, understated elegance. Ideal for those who appreciate timeless appeal, it offers a refreshing option for spring and summer wear, both day and night.
