A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Cypriol's peppery kick hits first, almost medicinal, immediately flanked by neroli's bitter-sweet citrus. The combination feels almost savoury, like walking past a spice market at dusk, before floral whispers begin materialising beneath.
The tuberose emerges with surprising greenness, held in check by sandalwood's cool, slightly creamy presence. Gardenia adds a waxy, almost indolic richness—the florals now occupy centre stage, but they're restrained, intelligent, speaking in measured tones rather than shouting.
The oud and vetiver climb into prominence as the florals recede, revealing that distinct tobacco smoke character. What remains is woody, slightly dusty, and considerably more austere than the opening suggested—a fragrance that's shed its floral garments and settled into something closer to skin scent.
Lunosa arrives as a calculated study in nocturnal florals—a fragrance that understands the difference between night-blooming elegance and morning freshness. The cypriol-neroli opening provides a peppery, slightly smoky entry that refuses to announce itself loudly; instead, it creates a sense of intrigue, as though you've caught a conversation halfway through.
What distinguishes Lunosa is its handling of the white floral accord. Rather than allowing Indian tuberose and gardenia to collapse into creamy sweetness, the Ceylonese sandalwood acts as an architectural support, keeping these notorious hedonists aligned with woody restraint. The tuberose doesn't bloom into powdery indulgence—it smells genuinely green, almost mentholated, pressed against sandalwood's cool grain. Gardenia contributes a waxy, almost soapy quality that prevents the composition from becoming cloying.
