Ambra di Luna

'Ambra di Luna' is sweeter than most perfumes that I usually wear, but on me there is very little vanilla and only the slightest trace of powder. The amber, sandalwood, jasmine wrap me round as if I was wearing the lightest cashmere shawl, and thanks to the castorium, the scent has lasted most of the day. While 'Mon Patachouly' was until now my only Ramon Monegal, I decided that I would get trial-sized atomizers of 'Ambra di Luna', 'Umbra', and 'Dry Wood' as well as a 'tester' of 'Agar Musk' in order to get a wider view of this line of perfumes. Of this selection it was the ' Ambra di Luna' that surprised me the most because it is one of the most feminine of scents that works well on my skin. I love the quality of the ingredients used in this perfume. There is a 'radiance' here that is really golden and shimmery, like the moon-light in its name. Rating: 8 1/2 out of 10

After a long time testing all Ramon's fragrance, I think this one fits like a glove on me because The Ambar in this juice is fantastic and gets better as long as the time goes by with a wonderful drydown, not heavy, but well balanced with the others notes. It is a very sexy and sophisticated perfume with a good sillage and good longevity. If you like Amber, maybe This fragrance should be in your wardrobe.

To me this smells a bit like Santal Noble by Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier but this is less dry, less warm and more animalic. More intresting and more unisex. Wore them side by side. Like both, think the mentioning of oily makes sense. Have mfk pour le soir but this has no honey, think they are quite different.

A warm, rich amber opens this composition on my skin and the amber remains the central note throughout the development. While it is sweetish, it does not fall into the syrupy side that amber can have, but remains warm and a bit resinous. A delicate oriental, very nice.

This is VERY animalic for an amber, but not cozy, sweet, and powerful like Absolute pour le Soir.

On me it's all castoreum and very powdery amber.Then a bit of soapy jasmine, blended perfectly w/ the other 2 scents, still very powdery and castoreum-toned animalic overall. I greatly dislike powder scents so it's not for me. It does have the same feel as Bal A Versailles on me, but I dislike them both so I'll judge no further than to say the specific castoreum essence smells the same to me here, the same lived-in animal essence. That said, it's really not very heavy. I applied a decent bit to one arm and I do have to wave my arm past my nose to catch it. Also as a disclaimer, my skin ALWAYS emphasizes powderiness, so it's probably more apparent on me than most :) Oh at +1 antfarm's review: OILY definitely comes to mind, somehow in direct contradiction to how powdery it is. But I like that part of it.

A definite powdery amber with nuances of a scent which reminds me of baby oil (perhaps the castoreum?). Sweet jasmine and vanilla seem lost here. I have come to realize that I am just not a lover of amber scents. If you like this, I would recommend sampling MFK's Absolute pour le Soir, as it too showcases amber but in a different way. (56)

While I love Monegal's Agar Musk, Ambra di Luna is definitely not for me. This fragrance is an amber and slightly vanilla mix, which is completely overpowered by a heavy talcum powder effect. I'd classify this as an extremely feminine fragrance and quite honestly, something that would seem like a good fit for a woman in her 60s or older.

Very nice stuff from Mr.Monegal. Ambra di Luna opens with a slightly boozy amber note immediately joined by castoreum providing the right amount of "dirtyness". In this phase the fragrance has a fascinating classicism inherent to it. It speaks of old-fashioned female perfumes, powder, animalic notes...Where are you going? Come back here, Ambra Di Luna doesn't smell dated. The castoreum is not exactly subtle but serves as a necessarely balance for the typical sweetness of most ambers. As the fragrance "evolves", there's a woody-balmy quality remarking its presence and driving the composition towards moderately sweet and more modern territories. Elegant, solid and well balanced with compelling, dry undertones. If you like Monegal's restrained style, this is a great fragrance well worth checking out. Full bodied yet not as heavy-handed as other compositions in the same genre. Very well done. Rating: 7.5/10

I'm very curious what fans of L'air de rien and Bal a Versailles think of this. For me this is a bit more wearable, although I notice the staying power is light. I"ll try again with a heavier hand. What I love is the sandalwood/vanilla vibe. Yes there is that dirty note going on, but the dry down is soft and warm, like a fuzzy warm sweater and not like powdered panties. I find De Luna to be subtle seduction. This is a discrete, classy fragrance. so far so good with this line!

Well...where the other Monegal scents I have tried have a bit of fruitiness in their character this is certainly a beautiful turn of events. Warm, decadent, creamy, a bit animalistic. More leathery than animal. This is a warm, sweet, soft embrace. The notes are all very familiar but the way he has chosen to weave them together certainly makes me a fan of Ambra di Luna. A beautiful choice for fall and winter.

This is a gorgeous amber, well balanced and not overpowering. Dries down to a soft warm cloud enveloping you when you wear it. I love amber and this is one of the best ambers I have tried. It does start out with the castoreum note and then dries down to a sweeter amber so wait for it. I felt that it was full bottle worthy and so now that gorgeous flacon with the wonderful juice is mine - I'm happy.

A sumptuous fragrance, Ambra di Luna is a lovely warm scent that vibrates on a low frequency. Sillage seemed moderate- very close to the skin. The castoreum is in there, but makes for a beautifully blended burnished effect of a very refined amber/sandalwood fragrance. Smells rich. Feels rich. Absolutely beautiful.

his vetiver and vanilla are great, dont know why they arent listened here
