Calaluna

Normally I would not review something I've only tried once, but there are so few reviews that I figure any additional information might be useful to someone. I tried this in duty free; the tester was almost empty, 5 or 6 pumps gave about what I would estimate as one full spray. The opening reminded me strongly of l'Aromatica's Kulfi, but less edible. There was a note here that I am unfamiliar with except that I recognize it as something I also get from Lanvin's Oxygene for women. After about an hour I mainly got slightly woody, soft cardamon with a hint of almond biscotti. This stage lasted at least 2 more more hours but then I fell asleep. By the time I woke up 5 hours later the fragrance was barely perceptible biscotti. I do realize a long flight in a full plane is not the best setting to evaluate a fragrance. I think I might like Calaluna quite a bit. If I ever get a chance to try it again, I will update this review. 8/29 I got chance to try it again last week and decided I loved it enough to buy the smaller bottle. Unfortunately it went home with my sister; when I get it back I will make a proper review.

About 3 years ago I was at the mall with the female counterparts of my family. I suggested we'd go seperately so I could rummage through the only big-shelved perfumery that I know of. My eyes feisted on the long rows of bottles until I reached the end of the store where there's a little secluded room with the most exclusive perfumes. The bottles were displayet like jewels and among them Calaluna. Having already read the notes I had to test it. Ahhh.. but dang, the price tag was quite unfriendly Meeting up with my family again I had them sniff my arms from wrist to elbow to give judgement on multiple scents. When my mom smelled Calaluna she moaned in excitement and made all sorts of noises you do not want to hear from a parent. Did I want it for myself? Hell yes Did I go out of my way to be a good daughter that day? Yes, sir! I bought it and gave it to her for Christmas. She still has it and now she saves what is left for special occations. It smells amazing. Sweet, milky, musky, spicy. Very good performance Dear Santa, make Bvlgari release this with a sensible price tag 🙏 A 10 out of 10 easily for me

It’s blended so well and smells like luxury, I’m a man and I wear it and get complements from completely strangers asking what it is. Ladies go crazy for it it’s perfectly unisex. It’s smells milky with some spice and powder and has a very warm quality about it, there is that clean powdery Prada undertone to it that lifts it and makes it the perfect balance of a gourmand without fully smelling gourmand. Last 8 plus hours and has an amazing scent trail

Creamy decadent iris. A luxurious smooth blended scent that rolls over you like a fresh silk sheet. Soft, yet alluring. Slightly powdery and spicy with a beautiful iris and heliotrope purple floral blend. This makes me feel and smell like a lady. Moderate lasting power and sillage, lasts longer if also sprayed on clothes.

This is a milky, creamy, softer, more delicious version of Prada Iris. It has less alcohol than Prada Iris as I could immediately smell my hand after spraying unlike Prada Iris which shoots up my nose if I do that. I love this scent more as it is more comforting but unfortunately the longevity isn’t good.
