A beguiling everyday fragrance for me - as a woman!
for me, Luna Rossa Black is a classic "unisex fragrance". I am taking up the cudgels here for the category of "unisex fragrances" and against the backward-looking categorization into men's and women's fragrances. I don't understand at all what criteria were used to categorize Luna Rossa Black as a purely "men's fragrance": the perfume is not a fougère, has no aftershave vibes, no bergamot-oak moss or masculine tart vetiver or other rather masculine perceptible fragrance DNA. On the contrary, Luna Rossa Black smells rather feminine to me and on my skin (sorry to all men).
Right at the beginning, I perceive a beguilingly sweet and warm scent, which probably comes from the angelica root. There is also a little kick of freshness from the bergamot, but it is really minimal. Although only mentioned in the top note, the angelica DNA stays with me for a long time. At times, I perceive earthy, herbaceous patchouli, but very light, not at all heavy, oppressive or intrusive, as patchouli can often smell. And the coumarin is noticeably sweet and spicy. It smells a little like hay. Amber and musk finally join in and give the fragrance a balsamic sensuality. Mmmmm. Overall, Luna Rossa Black is: attractive, slightly sweet, sensual, warm and actually always wearable for every gender category.
And once again about categorization: if Luna Rossa Black had not been recommended to me by a friend, I would never have tested it, because it is marketed as a men-only perfume. The same applies to Amyris Homme Eau de Toilette, which I would also never have dared to try if I hadn't been warmly recommended it by a woman. The fragrance is also rather unisex for me.
Both fragrances have now moved in with me.

Changing lime
I only smell a pungent lime throughout the entire fragrance of "Malibù - Party In The Bay | Simone Andreoli". After 10 minutes, there is a hint of coconut, but no rum and no sandalwood. I associate it a bit with a caipirinha, but without rum. The aura...

Changing old man lemon
The "Casamorati - Fiero | XerJoff" is incredibly pungent at the beginning - probably bergamot, thyme, tarragon & mint. Whereby tarragon is supposed to smell like woodruff and aniseed - I don't smell woodruff at all, a little aniseed can be guessed....
