the man in Harris-Tweed

Anyone who ventures into the realm of niche fragrances after decades of dealing with mainstream perfumery is not immune to surprises - especially the usual classic categorization of scents into women's and men's segments rarely applies here.
My nose has often protested when a perfume was labeled as a men's scent that could just as easily fit in the women's section - had the good old Freud been a perfume junkie, he would probably have attributed to me something like olfactory penis envy, ;-).
With "Come La Luna," I am now experiencing for the first time the exact opposite: According to all descriptions, this is the elegant companion of a lady, and with exactly this expectation, I approached the test - only to become increasingly convinced hour by hour that I am dealing with a gentleman of the old school.
For just a brief moment, hesperidic, unsweet notes open the fragrance experience, only to immediately make way for a herbaceous-spicy, yet gentle and understated spice and forest herb accord with steadily increasing depth - at this point, I would still describe the scent as unisex, as I can easily imagine it on strong male as well as female personalities who have already attained a certain maturity in age.
However, as the fragrance develops further, the image of a powerful-elegant, very self-assured, and relaxed man around 50 crystallizes before my inner eye, present and dynamic, yet not forced to appear youthful. A man in Harris-Tweed, from whom I - were I the woman by his side - would occasionally "steal" "Come La Luna" to feel that aura of care, security, and safety in his absence, with which he captivates his surroundings.
What would Freud have to say about that…?

PS: A heartfelt thank you to Ergoproxy for this special experience!

Come to Mother’s Breast..

... the moon rises and the stars twinkle! Now, little one, move aside, you’re crushing me. You think this perfume is nice, huh? Yes, grown women wear grown-up scents. Now don’t look so silly or do you want some too? Men can wear it too, you know.
They’ve mixed in so many spices that it’s enough for two. Interesting, right? Just like Mother used to make. Want to know what’s in it? First of all, a bunch of lemon stuff, but not the cheap ones from the discount bin at Aldi, no, the really good ones from the delicatessen.
Keep your hands off my bosom. I’ll give you a slap! Oh, because it smells so spicy? Well then, it fits if I slap you!
What, do I have a wooden leg? You must be joking! This is the perfume, you rascal!
Yes, I smoke, but the scent smells too. At least more than I do.
How much does it cost? No idea, but it’s supposed to be niche, so it can’t be cheap. Do you want it for your birthday? No, I’d rather gift it to myself.

Noble Soap

"Come La Lune" is for me a floral-spicy-woody-soapy-creamy scent. Without a fragrance pyramid, I couldn't say what components it consists of.

It is present to me, but not bothersome to my surroundings (I think), in my estimation, CLL settles just above my skin. The longevity is between 6 - 7 hours.

After about 2 hours, I think of a warm, softly spicy noble soap. It is kindly not shrill or piercing and thus very wearable for me.

Somehow, at least at the beginning, I feel reminded of a fragrance from the 70s or 80s, but I just can't recall which scent it could be.

CLL is not a fragrance that excites me from the first wear; it conquers me gradually, similar to its brand companion "Vento di Fiori" (of which I just realize that I have rated and categorized it, but have not written a text about it), which has at least conquered my "Forget-me-not list".

It remains to be said that CLL is, in my opinion, a unisex fragrance and is wearable in all seasons - except perhaps beyond 22 degrees C).

Regards + thanks to Phila

Moon Child

Rarely has a fragrance brought me together with a situation like this one. It was 1986 in Granada. This scent of the resinous trees - mostly pines - the herbs like rosemary, lavender, anise, etc. that grow wild almost everywhere, the lemons that smelled not sour but sweet-fruity, the flowers that saturated the air and influenced every scent, and then this song: Hijo de la luna by Mecano - the Moon Child. So sad, eerie, beautiful.

That’s why I connected the fragrance with this song from the very first spray, and it brought back my Granada from that time.

Bitter petit grain at the beginning dissolves into juicy fresh lemon, taking along delicate white flowers, yet everything is dominated by resinous notes that are accompanied by gentle sounds. A fragrance in green, full of feeling. A scent like an event, and at first, you wouldn’t expect it. It is a velvety, soft, but not dark green. It is also not spring green or grass green. It is more the bright, silvery shimmering green of olive trees, which I associate with Come la Luna. It conveys silence, calm, pleasant solitude in a gently green landscape.

Fortunately, everyone experiences perfumes differently, and Come la Luna evokes the most beautiful memories for me...

Moon Child (my translation):

To the fool who does not understand,
I tell a legend,
A gypsy
summoned the moon until dawn
Weeping, she begged
When the day breaks
to marry her to a gypsy.

You will have a man with dark skin
spoke the full moon from the sky
But in return, I want
Your first son
that you conceive with him.
Who sacrifices his child,
to not be alone
can love it only a little.

The moon wants to be a mother
And you will find no love
that makes you a wife.
Tell me, silver moon
what will you do
with a child of flesh and blood?
Child of the moon.

From the cinnamon-colored father, a child was born
White as the back of a ermine.
With gray eyes
instead of olive-colored
an albino moon child.

Cursed be his birth!
This son is no gypsy
and I will not keep silent!

The moon wants to be a mother
And you will find no love
that makes you a wife.
Tell me, silver moon
what will you do
with a child of flesh and blood?
Child of the moon.

In the belief of being dishonored,
the gypsy went to his wife, knife in hand.
Whose son is he?
You have betrayed me.
And he stabbed her to death.
Then he went up the mountain
With the child in his arms
and there he abandoned the child.

The moon wants to be a mother
And you will find no love
that makes you a wife.
Tell me, silver moon
what will you do
with a child of flesh and blood?
Child of the moon.

And on nights when the full moon appears,
it is because the child is well,
but when the child cries,
the moon wanes and forms a crescent,
to create a cradle for the child.
And when the child cries
the moon wanes and forms a crescent,
to create a cradle for the child.

Knock on wood

Right now, I'm trying to sniff the top notes by bringing my nose towards my wrist. Womm! Out of nowhere - a club of cedar wood from the right, - a plank of rosewood from the left - right on the nose, I can't see the forest for the trees. Where are my lemons? Where is my pepper, my coriander? Disoriented, I feel my way forward, maybe I'll at least find my amber, my patchouli.
Damn - now someone has even set the plank in front of my head on fire, everything is full of smoke, I can hardly breathe; now I can't see anything at all.

After an hour, I finally find my way to the edge of the forest and can breathe somewhat again. However, the smell of smoky wood lingers with me for hours.
It's not like my mother didn't warn me about this over 40 years ago - child, don't go into the woods alone - I promise, Mommy, I definitely won't do it again.
