Lune Feline

I wore this for 3 days straight after I got my sample! I had to WRENCH myself away to try anything else. I reapplied about every 12 hours and even then I still could smell some on me so definitely a performer without being too loud. At no point did I feel I risked triggering a headache in myself or my spouse nor did I feel like my scent bubble went further than a few inches from me which is my preference and I do intentionally apply lightly to achieve this. I'm honestly shocked at how negative the recent reviews are. I'm assuming it must be a perfume that changes a lot based on your skin or it just isn't to everyone's taste but Lune Feline is phenomenal on me personally and that's a blessing (unless you are my wallet) and I think LF is absolutely worth trying for anyone. On my skin it is somehow both cozy and sexy. I cannot stop sniffing my wrists. I feel SO hot but in an tasteful, not trying too hard way. This is one of those perfumes that is masterfully blended in a way where calling out individual notes seems to distract from the overall experience so I'm going to not to do that here but the experience is mostly you get all the perks of a wonderful Amber without any of the cloying sweetness because there's this wonderful warm blanket of spices, woodiness, etc holding it in check. I don't think it's really gendered in any way and to me it reads as a true unisex scent. I am trying this scent in winter with no warm weather in sight to check it against (though it did great in front of the space heater) but thus far I'd say it is a perfect scent for basically anything unless you need something VERY quiet. But office scent? Check! Unless you really overapply your neighbors shouldn't catch it more than when you get close or move past them. Friend's night scent? Hell yeah. Date night? Absolutely wonderful. Party? Of course! Although for those last 2 Lune Feline might not be flashy enough and that's understandable depends on your preference. To me it is the ideal "get a little closer" type scent without treading into what I think of as "please find me hot" territory. Lune Feline really might be the winner on my quest for a personal signature scent despite the painful price tag. Absolutely worth sampling and if this one isn't for you I imagine the rest of the house is still worth trying. I personally have a bunch of ADO samples on the way and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of what this house does.

''Atelier Des Ors Lune Feline'' - By The Fireplace (part2) - Bu parfümü ilk tenime sıktığımda direkt aklıma bu geldi. Hatta ve hatta içerisinde var olan kestane yerine kakule bombası eklenilmiş. Var olan geri kalan bütün nüanslar aynı. Bence daha çok erkeğe yakışabilecek bir koku diye düşünüyorum. Bu kakule ''Memo marfa spices deki kakule bombası gibi değil'' Kullanılan marka olan kakule esansı ne kadar aynı olsa da geçmişten bugünümüze dayanan bir dayatma var. Bu bariz örneğidir. Objektif bir şekilde sunmam gerekirse ; metalik bir kakule, sıcak bir vanilya, ve egzotik çiçekler yerine egzotik ormanlardan toplanılmış ağaçların esansları hakim. Zaten sıvı içerisinde bulunan altın tozu ve teninize sıktığınızda görünen parlaklık bu egzotik kelimesinin tanımı oluyor. Pegasus taki metalik vanilya değil. Metalik bir kakule gittikçe sakinleşemeye başlıyor. Sonlara doğru çok doğru bir ten parfümü oluyor. Sizi seven bir insan size sarılacak ve bu kokuya burnunu sokacak. Size daha bir sıkı sarılacak emin olun. . . . When I first sprayed this perfume on my skin, this is exactly what came to mind. In fact, it feels like a cardamom bomb has been added instead of the chestnut note. All the other nuances remain the same as before. I believe this fragrance would suit men more. The cardamom note here isn’t as intense as in Memo Marfa Spices, but even though the brand of cardamom essence used is quite similar, there’s a sense of tradition that spans from the past to the present, which is a clear characteristic of this perfume. Objectively speaking, I’d say the scent features a metallic cardamom, warm vanilla, and instead of exotic flowers, the essence of woods gathered from exotic forests dominates. The gold dust in the liquid and the glow it gives when sprayed on your skin perfectly embody the meaning of "exotic." This isn’t the metallic vanilla found in Pegasus. The metallic cardamom gradually settles down, evolving into a beautifully soft and refined fragrance. In the end, it becomes a perfect skin scent. When someone who loves you hugs you, they’ll bury their nose in this fragrance. And I’m sure they’ll hug you even tighter. 10/8.6

Vanilla in its most indolic, sensual, and provocative form possible! Lune Feline presents a take on vanilla unlike almost anything on the market. It’s not sweet or obvious, instead, it captures the pure scent of the vanilla pod in its natural state. Right away, you get hit with a punch of dense balsamic, resinous, and spicy notes, with predominantly bitter and sharp nuances. On my first test, I found the scent very intense, but as it dried down and after further wearings, I noticed how the vanilla wraps around everything with a subtle, dry, powdery sweetness, bringing harmony to this challenging composition. It works the note in a more mature, full-bodied way, extremely sensual and elegant. It’s not listed among the accords, but I picked up slightly animalic and metallic nuances, which I believe come from the ambergris, styrax and even the vanilla itself, since the pod can have dirtier, bitter and animalic facets. Personally, I love this! It adds character and breaks away from the obvious. This is niche perfumery at its finest. Performance is excellent: longevity easily exceeds 10 hours, with strong projection in the first two hours. After that, it settles into a noticeable scented aura around you perfect for cooler days, and especially nights. I always doubted when critics called this the best vanilla in niche perfumery I thought it was just hype. But after trying Ani, Vanilla Powder, althair and other well-known “best of” vanillas, Lune Feline is the one with the most unique DNA to my nose, and the one that truly pays homage to the vanilla pod. An irreverent masterpiece full of personality! 10/10

This is good stuff. Got a sample and on first wearing I did not like it very much but it wasn't the worst so decided to give it another try. I liked it a lot more on the second wear. In the opening it is quite a photo realistic cardamom. It is not like smelling a cardamom from a foot away where you you only get the camphorous(like a earthy aromatic mint, not like a vicks or layton) smell. It is like opening it up and smelling it up close where you get to the seed and its slightly denser and green notes. In addition, I get a slightly dry vanilla with the peru balsam. The two notes don't stand out individually but feel blended together. I do get the comparison to a band-aid which makes it a bit medicinal. If it wasn't so medicinal I would rate it higher, but do try it if you get a chance since it may not bother you as much as others. In the dry down the cardamom tones down a bit and I get a bit more vanilla and it become a littler drier and sweeter but not too sweet which I was happy about. Maybe it does evolve further, but after a couple hours it become a mild skin scent to my nose where I get a light vanilla and peru balsam. It is not smoky, I would describe it as a dry vanilla that is a bit medicinal and woody scent. There are a lot of other notes, but I like to think those more complimenting notes to boost the three major ones. Overall it is a nice fragrance that is unisex and maybe slightly feminine leaning, but do not let that sway you unless you love ultra masculine stuff. Just wished the performance was better.

Based on some of the reviews I'd heard, I wasn't sure I was going to like this. Turns out I love it! This isn't the type of fragrance I normally gravitate to (green, fresh, citrus, aquatic), but I'd seen it cropping up all over social media as a great autumn fragrance. I figured I'd give it a go because I needed something warm and cozy as the weather grows colder. This is warm and cozy in a bottle. I smell all the spices, but none of them are overpowering to me. I wouldn't call this a gourmand, per se (and if I'd heard it marketed as that, I absolutely would not have bought it), but there is a sense of something like brandy plus molasses plus vanilla and winter spices, almost like you are walking into a cottage kitchen a couple days after someone baked and made hot toddies with feet of snow outside. I don't love sweet fragrances, but the sweetness in this is just the right amount, not a sugar bomb at all. The musk and resins give it more depth and roundness and the cedar and other woody notes give it a sturdy, sensible base. Both those mid and base notes tamp down the sweetness of this vanilla note to a not only tolerable but perfect level. I don't get any green notes, but I'm actually not missing them even though I love green scents. I was complimented on this fragrance today and asked if it had tobacco in it, so that is an accord that some might get. I imagine this is what Clara's mother in the Nutcracker smelled like. Elegant, sophisticated, but deep, warm, and feminine. 9.5/10.
