Another wonderful citrus-glazed vanilla cookie

This gets compared to Xerjoff Lira a lot, which is one of my favorite perfumes. I enjoy all the citrus/vanilla combos that get compared to it (including L de Lolita Lempicka, the godmother of them all). So it's no surprise I really like Lana, too.

When a perfume has a scent profile that has been done many times before, I find it a bit difficult to describe it on its own merits, but I'll try. Lana combines a very warm, rich, slightly creamy and very mouthwatering vanilla with smooth caramel and various citrus fruit. It smells both orangey and lemony to my nose, but not exactly like either of them, which makes sense as it has notes of orange, grapefruit and bergamot. I can't say that the floral notes or musk are very discernible, but I guess they exist to make the scent smoother.
All in all it reminds me of a cookie of some type and has more of a wintery, cozy, borderline Christmas-like vibe.

Compared to Lira and L, Lana is the most vanilla-focused and less spicy. The citrus notes are a bit more subdued and without any bitterness. It also doesn't have the saltiness that L has. This is really the warmest, smoothest, most edible out of them all. I'm a tad more into Lira, it feels a bit more delicately constructed and dynamic to me, but if Lira didn't exist, I'd buy Lana in a heartbeat.

"try" to put it really nicely!

I am honestly speechless.
I was absolutely distraught when I smelled it.
Lira is not on another planet but on another solar system!
To me, they are not even remotely related in any way.
They are 2 different species on 2 different worlds.
I have to say this is the cheapest smelling perfume I have ever smelled anywhere.
(& I have a perfume that cost 8€ that I really like but it smells like "Million Dollar" compared to Lana)
I feel the need to shower immediately, that's how unpleasant I find it.
Not to offend anyone, but if I hadn't known, I would have thought it was soap bubbles or a 50-cent perfume from a Pakistani kiosk in a prefab socially deprived neighborhood.
0/10 is still a good rating.
Didn't want to be too harsh as it doesn't smell terrible now but it just smells unpleasant and extremely cheap to me.
& I was still considering ordering it blind because of the movements and the scent pyramid, because I thought it was impossible that I wouldn't like it.
Thank goodness I tested it first!

Who am I?

Lira looks in the mirror. Something is wrong. She feels different. Somehow she no longer feels like herself. At first glance, everything seems the same. But suddenly she realizes that she can't see her lilac strands, which actually adorn her vanilla blonde hair. She powders her face and notices that her skin is somehow softer, everything looks softer, but her vanilla-colored hair is more voluminous. Lira is amazed... How can you look identical at first glance when the details are so different? Even her cravings are different: instead of lemon cake, she now wants caramel pastries. Lira begins to doubt her identity. She usually likes it feminine but edgy, but now she likes pure harmony in her appearance. That's not her. No, she is no longer Lira. From now on she is Lana.

Radiant heart

I really would not have thought at first - Lana has convinced me so of itself that I gave away Casamorati - Lira Eau de Parfum for it.

Then this afternoon, the beautiful bottle arrived with me. The packaging pleases me very well. It is kept simple in white and gold, and the bottle has a very heavy and valuable metal lid.

When spraying on (two sprays on the forearms) one recognizes at first directly a very large similarity to Lira. A tangy, fruity, sour vanilla note, which contains a tiny hint of bitterness through the grapefruit, which also makes me think a bit of Poets of Berlin, but is already sweeter.

Personally, I like the start least, because I do not like grapefruit so much. But what then develops after the first 20 minutes on my skin, is the absolute fragrance heaven. It appears the most beautiful, softest, golden and warmest lemon vanilla.

I had to go to an important meeting in the afternoon, and I was surprised at the radiance of the two small sprays. The whole time buffered small lemon vanilla clouds from my arms up to me, that I wondered briefly already, whether that might be in the small room in which
i sat with two other people, could be too strong and disturbing in a serious conversation.

But I think the fragrance has something very cuddly and not too intrusive about it, which conveys security. At the same time, it is not too sweet. In the drydown, it even reminds me a bit of "Collection Extraordinaire - Orchidée Vanille | Van Cleef & Arpels".

Maintains incredibly well and long on me, I come at least eight hours that I can perceive him well. Although always somewhat weakening from 6 hours, but still present.

For me, an absolute win and a perfectly interwoven vanilla scent. In Lira were me, however, too many (slightly masculine) disturbing notes: Licorice and lavender. I am therefore really, really glad to have chosen Lana:).
