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.

As this is touted as dupe for Glossier You, this review will be more of a comparison. I tested these two side and also separately to really get the full picture.

They're definitely quite similar: Both center around the same white musk, iris, ambrette and pink pepper combination that feels clean, powdery and a bit skin-like.
But like the name suggests, this also has a strong rose note which makes it different from You. It's a fresh, dewy, transparent rose that reminds me of Chloe EDP. The overall impression therefore leans more floral and also a bit more powdery.
Another note that is listed here, but not in the original, is pear. I don't find it particularly prominent though. If you want something really fruity in this genre, try God is a Woman by Ariana Grande or maybe Radiant Nectar by Clean (I have only tried the latter quickly in a store, but I'm pretty sure it was fruitier than this). You is also a bit fruity in itself, so the main difference is really the rose.

This is a nice budget option for a clean, musky, slightly floral "your skin but better" scent. It leans a little more into generic territory than the original, but it still has some character, and most importantly, still smells good.

Such a beautiful caleidoscope of thousand layers of notes. The prosaic name "Floral, Amber, Sensual Musk" is quite fitting, but not enough to describe this.

It's warm, creamy, fluffy, but also spicy, sharp and even smokey. I definitely smell a pretty pink carnation, but luckily not so much of the lily of the valley. There is a lovely floral sweetness to this that doesn't feel sugary and is blended perfectly into the soft white musk and vanilla. Saffron is the most noticeable spice note. It adds a little sharpness and edge to the composition, but it's very warm and not medicinal like it can be in other fragrances. I think this is what some reviewers find leathery here, saffron can be like that and you have to enjoy it to like this fragrance. And I certainly do. It's like the dreamy musky vanilla fluff needs some grounding saffron to really shine. The rest of the spices remains a mystery - maybe a hint of pepper, a trace of cinnamon or allspice, I'm really not sure.
There is even something woody and roasted in this, all without ever becoming harsh. This perfume masters the art of being spicy without feeling foody, manly, dated, dry or rough. The amber anchors the scent all the way through the final drydown and never turns stale. What's left the next morning is less spicy, more vanillic and powdery, but still magical.

I can't say that this scent reminds me of anything or conjures any pictures in my mind, it's standing on its own feet and my impressions of it change as I smell it. I mean nowadays I have smelled several similar fragrances that came after it, but when I first tried it, it was something completely new. And so far I haven't found a better version of the concept than the original.

Anyways, the whole is more than the sum of its parts and the overall vibe the scent gives me is just warm, feminine elegance. It's very versatile, I would wear it day and night in mild to cold weather. Maybe even on warm nights.

So beautiful! I don't understand why this is the rose flanker of Musc Noir. It doesn't smell all that rosy to me, it's more of an intense, richer version of the Musc Noir concept. If I could switch it up, I would call this Musc Noir and the first version Musc Noir Légère or Florale. Well, at least the darker bottle fits the scent.

This is such a sensual fragrance . Warm, jammy plum and an ever-so-slightly indolic, very hypnotic tuberose that is reminiscent of ripe jasmine. A touch of vanilla and comforting musk. It's not the typical strong NR For Her kind of musk, it's something more subtle and skin-like, but still sexy.
There is something about this that smells like suede, and it's almost a little smoky in the opening. Later it turns more balsamic. The rose is subtly blended into the plum. All in all this is not as clean as Musc Noir, especially in the drydown, but not dirty either. Many reviewers online said Musc Noir reminded them of Dior Poison, but I actually get much more of the Poison vibe with Musc Noir Rose. It has that touch of vintage attitude incorporated into a modern scent.

Really, the first one was nice, but this is superior in any way. It feels velvety and mysterious. Perfect for nights out, but honestly also during the day. Especially in autumn, the plum note feels perfect for that time of the year.

I'm a big fan of the original Narciso in the white cube and still find it so sad that it got discontinued. My bottle is getting lower, so I bought Narciso Rouge as a future replacement. It also has lost of the super-creamy, clean, beautiful musk that defines the square bottled Narciso fragrances, not to be confused with the more sultry musk in the tall bottled For Her line.

The outstandig note in Rouge is a fresh and dewy red rose that mingles beautifully with the milky musk. In the drydown, the tonka gives it some light sweetness, but it‘s not the extremely sweet cherry-almond like tonka that you can find in many other perfumes, it‘s light and nice.

This fragrance smells very chic to me, but in a daytime way. It‘s versatile, suitable for work as well as most free time activities. I just wouldn‘t wear it to a party. It‘s like an uncomplicated, casual, but put-together outfit, like dark jeans with a perfecty fitted black or white top and red lipstick. No, I don‘t see this as a dramatic and passionate scent like the marketing texts say. Maybe it can be a sexy scent, but in a more understated, clean and pretty way. I also like it for more romantic looks with floral embroidery or prints.

Among its white and pink sister scents in the Narciso range, I find Rouge to be the most easygoing and uncomplicated. It‘s not as frilly and sweet as Narciso Poudré, and not as woody and thick as the white EDP. They are all lovely and all have their time and place.
