a terror in the terroir
A hooded figure watching from beyond the shadows, but shadows of what, and why in a place no shadow should be? The insidious intrusion, the confounding juxtaposition, the thing found in the wrong place. The stirring of things best left unstirred. Resinous orchid musk, feral balmy, rotting-earthed humidity. Milky murk, like looking through the eyes of the dead. Honeyed spices part buried, cinnamon-cardamom-disinterment deferred, the ground is wrong, a terror in the terroir. The boundless and hideous unknown, a carnal effluvium of the eerie and the weird, reinterpreted as a not-too-bad fragrance. Actually, kinda lovely.

The original is better, but this is the one I'm buying
Royal Crown's "Sultan" is my all-time favorite scent and I figured I would look into Atelier des Ors once a well-known YouTuber offered her viewers a 15% code for the brand. I ordered 2 sample sets, but I was mainly looking to target both versions of Lune Féline.

Lets talk profile. In the air, Lune Féline smells incredible - it is probably the closest you will ever get to a cardamom pastry. It smells 1:1 with bakeries that I've been to, if not better, as there are hints of vanilla and cinnamon in the air that complete the blend.

The reasoning behind the clickbaity title stems from what the scent is like up close. While the original EDP smells very similar on skin as it does in the air, basically a hypothetical combination between Xerjoff's "Starlight" and Nishane's "Ani", it is the evolution of the EDP that dominates here in the opening of the extrait. What I mean by that is the EDP evolves from this pastry smell to a soft woody-balsamic scent with a smoky background whereas the extrait from minute ~5 or so, on skin, is this smoky-balsamic soft sweet scent. If you can imagine a hypothetical gourmand scent from Amouage, that's what you get here in the extrait's base on skin.

You can get a different vibe for the scent depending on your body temperature. To test the longevity on this, I put on 4 sprays on both arms 9:30 in the morning, knowing I would go to the gym at 5pm. Sitting at my computer, the extrait remained there even without heat as this smoky-balsamic scent while the original was almost entirely gone by hour 4-5. Once I got to the gym, with both scents 8 hours in, the extrait would radiate around a foot's worth - people would notice it when walking by. With heat, you get a smoky-vanilla, definitely sweeter than it is while just sitting around. The original was actually still there also, but you'd have to smell it from up close and even then it was not that noticeable.

Ratings.
Scent: Extrait is an 8.5, EDP is a 9. The original [EDP] keeps the best parts of the scent in tact both in the air and on skin.
Longevity: Extrait will give 10-12 hours at a relevant strength level, original I'd estimate 7-8 hours. So extrait gets a 9, EDP gets a 7.
Sillage: It's a bit hard for me to rate this still, even after 2 days of full-wears, but I believe the EDP is a 6 - it will be noticeable for 3-4 hours at arm's length; the extrait is likely to get at least 6 hours at arm's length, I'd give it an 8.
Bottle: It's the same bottle, to me it's an 8 - on par with Roja, Amouage etc. I might be giving them too much here even.
Value: So why am I buying the extrait at €350 over the original at €230 (to add - after a 15% discount, my relative prices are 297.50€ vs. 195.50€). To me, the extra 2 points on longevity and sillage make the extrait the better preposition since I love scents that command attention and the final price is half what I paid for Sultan. I'd value both an 8, but if you are fine with a less screechy scent in the form of the EDP, that could be a 9.

Seductive, balsamic vanilla inspired by the mysticism of the moon
The Lune Féline Extrait is the extrait version of the Lune Féline Eau de Parfum and not only has the fragrance oil content been increased to 30%, but more depth and complexity have also been embedded in the fragrance. A sensual, opulent composition with a truly surprisingly exciting DNA.

How would I describe Lune Féline Extrait?

- The opening is definitely more daring; a combination of exciting sweet spiciness characterized by cinnamon and cardamom. A subtle freshness comes through, which is very exciting; and even if the notes hardly differ from the EDP, the opening is more opulent and powerful.

- Then comes the centerpiece; the seductive interplay of balsamic and vanilla. The vanilla is infused with a beautiful, smoky depth that is also somehow dark and gives the Lune Féline Extrait its unmistakable gourmand quality without drifting into the sweetness; I suspect that the styrax with the vanilla also produces this slightly smoky feeling here. The balsamic-green accents together with the woody accords act as a counterpoint here and give the fragrance a creamy, velvety texture and prevent it from drifting into absolute sweetness

- This balsamic vanilla is also intensified in the drydown, as the Peru balsam produces a sweet, cinnamon-like vanilla feeling. However, the vanilla is not only balsamic, but also slightly floral. In contrast to the EDP, however, the ambery aura is much more prominent; the ambergris appeared earlier, but only subtly, in the drydown I have the feeling that the ambergris comes more to the fore and almost produces an animalic touch with the heavily dosed musk; for me it is definitely slightly animalic, I suspect that "normal people" perceive it as clearly animalic, as my nose is used to animalic by now.

- The longevity of the fragrance is very good, definitely in the upper third; the projection also leaves nothing to be desired in the first few hours; the fragrance projects really well.

All in all, a successful release with a "niche" impact that should go down very well in the community. I find the Elixir much more exciting because the notes are more "extreme", edgier and more intense.

It feels "oversaturated" and, IMO, worse than the EdP. The balsamic vanilla that used to swirl with the spices is now drowned out by them.

Incredibly mellow Vanilla full of balsamic & resins, complemented w/ hefty amount of spices. The blend can be suffocating for some. Love it.

Intense cardamom and smoky resinous vanilla. For some reason I also get a white floral effect, might be the interplay between the notes.
