Luna Noamde

Aaron has once again delivered a real gem here (with a slight aftertaste).
He simply excels at creating these dark, mystical scents.
Yes, it is (once again) a rose-oud combination, but in the usual top quality of ATH.
Here too, the typical ATH oud dominates, which comes across as beautifully dark and mystical, definitely not a stinker. Carried by an equally beautiful rose (absolute), with a smoky leather in the base.
However, there is also an animalic note present, which for me is wonderfully intertwined and not disturbing. For some noses, it might already be a challenge.
In principle, it can be compared to the first minutes of Ombre Nomade, only the sweet raspberry at the end is missing from Luna.

And here we come to the point that perhaps should not go unmentioned, the slight aftertaste.
Lunar is very close to Ombre Nomade. So close that I can hardly imagine that ATH created this composition by chance. Let's not mention the evil D word,
but a bit more distinctiveness would have been appreciated from ATH here.

Longevity and sillage both play at the upper end; one should not expect a subtle scent. The Ombre Nomade comparison fits here as well.
Conclusion: a scent for special occasions, a scent to stand out and make an impression.
Those looking to save a bit should opt for Ombre Nomade.
