Lua

So clean, fresh, bright, dreamy and beautiful perfume. I saw reviews that say it is soapy, yes I agree with that but it is not only soap like smell, there are some notes that makes this perfume more than just clean. I find it really similar to gucci premiere which I love but in this case Lua is more clean and softer, brighter, not that much loud and this makes it more luxurious scent than gucci premiere(even though I love it). The vibe is definitely some white or pastel colors, fresh sheets, flowers, elegance. I strongly believe that if you want to look and be well put together your perfume should reflect you - your style, aura etc. so that's why I imagine this being worn by a woman who is very elegant, classy, soft and well spoken, inteligent, kind and always with a smile, the one that you want to be around and you are always fascinated by her grace no matter what aesthetics you like. Overall for me this perfume reflects quiet elegance. I just love it. p.s. if you liked this one but not enough because of clean smell, then go with gucci premiere it is similar to this but has less clean feeling.

Despite having tested hundreds of perfumes, I have never felt the need to leave a review on this platform until now. As a long-time collector, you can imagine how difficult it is to say 'I’ve found my signature scent,' but this is exactly it. If I were restricted to only one perfume for the rest of my life, Lua would be it. It masterfully balances being a tender, kind woman with an undeniable sensuality. This scent reminds me of the person I dream of becoming. It’s like a spell—so soft, yet so addictive that you just want to keep breathing it in deeper and deeper. Usually, fragrances in this genre either lean too heavily into citrus and turn into cologne, or they fall into the trap of mundane powders or a sharp, screechy iris that burns the senses. But Lua is blended so exquisitely; it feels like a thin, satin fabric against the skin. Words truly fail to capture its beauty. It is simply magnificent.

I'm either very difficult on perfumes or in fact most of them(including niche) are so unbelievably boring. I just haven't been able to find something that simply grabs me and captivates me from the first to the last minute. Something that, long after it's gone will keep a memory alive from that moment in time. But this fragrance is just that. I'm not an expert to describe notes and it's pointless because most of the times the description doesn't match what I have in mind. We're all different. In addition, some say it's soapy, I would disagree. Gentle, soft, feminine- yes, however haven't smelled a soap like this ... and the longevity. The top notes captured my attention but the dry down is a fairy tale!

I love Xerjoff as you can see from my collection and reviews. I was lucky enough to get a sample. Gerogeous smooth sweet predominant citrus bodied out by compliments turns slightly powdery vanilla underneath. Low silage long performance. Calling a spade a spade (which hurts me here): 1/ well made but not unique 2/ despite the notes it’s a copy of Xerjoff Dolce Amalfi missing the woody aspect 3/ it also reminds me of Panah Gourmantic Orange (also gorgeous) just replace lemon with orange 4/it also reminds me succinctly of Nicolai Vanille Tonka 5/ it’s a common offer in the market If you don’t have this perfume but would like this perfume type I can guarantee it’s probably the first one to go to...

Lua is quality and class for special occasions, however you can easily wear it daily because it’s not too strong, or stuffy and won’t overwhelm. To me it’s about iris, pink pepper, musk and cedar. Starts fruity fresh (melon bergamot) but quickly moves to flowers and sits nicely on a musk/vanilla/cedar cloud. Pink pepper comes and goes giving this beautiful concoction a bit of zing. I get why some people consider Lua mature, it has to be the iris and powderiness, but honestly I’m the last person to delight in mature perfumes so if I can pull it off it means that’s it’s really not that powdery. It really is just magical and lovely and worth trying out. Probably not the best blind buy though.
