Luna Blu

Luna Blu is the middle sister of Bianco Latte and Gioiosa. Luna Blu is creamy, a touch powdery, with a touch of amber, musky caramel and vanilla. She isn’t as powdery or lactonic as Bianco Latte and definitely a softer more vanilla version of Gioiosa however the lactonic vanilla and caramel base of all three fragrances are the exact same. The grape note in here reminds me exactly Cerchi Nell'Acqua Jolie. It doesn’t smell like grape but more like sythentic *slight plastic-y* candy sweetness. I prefer Luna Blu wayyyy more than Bianco Latte (to my nose BL just came off a bit harsh/synthetic) but still would choose Gioiosa over Luna Blu since I love when my fragrances are louder, sweeter, and on the resinous side. Definitely give this one a try!

Luna Blu is extremely similar to Bianco Latte and Gioiosa. The differences I personally found between all 3 were very very minimal, however Gioiosa was the cleanest smelling and Luna Blu was the longest lasting. Gioiosa isn’t massively different enough from either of these to justify the price. Both Luna Blu and Bianco Latte have a synthetic note about them that I don’t love. If you are hunting for the best vanilla to layer with, or just smells utterly amazing on its own, go with Fire At Will by Jovoy. It beats every single vanilla mentioned above!

I will piggyback on what most reviewers have stated - this smells extremely similar to Bianco Latte. It's like they took two directions to get to the same destination. Same with Gioiosa. I will say, the positive is that Luna Blu is softer and cleaner on my skin and doesn't pull synthetic like BL does.

A literal Bianco Latte dupe that is more expensive and just as nuclear. Meh, at least to me. If you love this sort of scent profile, then it’s the one for you!

We are now in the era of Bianco Latte dupes and this is absolutely one of them lol. Lactonic, creamy caramel and vanilla primarily. It's on the smoother side, but the scent itself is identical. So if you already have Bianco Latte and aren't interested in redundant scents, you can skip this one.

The grapes are STRONG in the opening. However, the dry down is more musky than vanilla + caramel that Bianco latte is known for. I can definitely see the similarities in the scent profile but they’re not dupes. The sillage is nothing like Bianco latte’s either.
