Moena 12 | 69

The emotions I feel while wearing Moena 12|69 echo the depth and complexity of the fragrance itself -- Moena is a fragrance unlike no other. With a flowery feminine top layer that mimics a tropical breeze and exotic flora. The base note is unmistakably woodsy, mossy, with endless depth like the earth that it came from. While wearing Moena, I am light and free and lilting with breezy flora while simultaneously grounded by the deep dank Peruvian jungle. My heart sours knowing the Moena fragrance is derived from sustainable sources and this exclusive and indulgent scent is actually making a difference -- opening a door for the future of fragrances to follow -- a unique, one of a kind exquisite perfume that has the potential to change the world for the better. And make both men and women smell FANTASTIC.

Where do I begin? Not only do I absolutely love this fragrance but the journey that Heather takes you on through her wonderful essay and photos on her website allow you to be in Peru with her creating Moena. When Moena arrived in it's beautiful bottle with a hand written thank you note I knew it was special. I wanted to just place it on the shelf and enjoy it as an object but how could I ? The curiosity was overwhelming and the fragrance did not disappoint. I dabb some on in the morning and enjoy the scent throughout the day, as well as all the compliments that I receive.

This is a beautiful perfume. I switched from my usual rotation of Le Labo scents, as Moena is like the best of Le Labo x 100. It is musky and woody with just the right amount of sweetness. I am amazed by how it balances elegance with earthiness - people ask me all day long what I'm wearing. It is so elegant, in fact, that it should not be worn by someone who stoops so low as to personally attack its maker...shocked by the trolling in the last review. There is a perfume for everyone - choose your poison.

This is just bliss. It’s warm and fascinating and earthy. It smells like a humid late summer evening and an old book. It’s calming and thrilling at the same time. The sillage isn’t enormous, but just enough to be inviting. And it sure does last a long time. I’ve worn it many a night out and have never felt the need to reapply. A previous reviewer said it isn’t sexy but I respectfully disagree! I feel so hot when I wear this, haha.

I love, love, love this perfume. It's incredibly unique, deep, woodsy, but sexy at the same time. I wear it almost every day and invariably I get multiple comments on how good it smells. I love the sustainable sourcing aspect and the bottle is so sophisticated on my dresser. It makes me happy every time I wear it.
