How I wanted to love Lune Féline!
For months I dreamed of it before I finally bought a sample from the manufacturer. The notes seemed just right for me: cardamom, resinous-woody notes, and vanilla - dreamy!
On the paper strip, I was still excited - a beautifully spicy opening with cardamom and cinnamon, which linger for quite a while. A warm, resinous background that still feels airy and fresh, and a wonderfully subtly sweet vanilla.
Unfortunately, it does not get along with my skin at all. The spicy notes vanish immediately, and what remains resembles burnt, resinous conifer wood. As if I were sniffing at a spot that has already been charred and is shining black from the fire.
What do we learn from this? Definitely test on the skin
I will spray the rest of my sample on my clothes and briefly mourn my dream of this scent.

Amber Tangerine starts wonderfully fresh with mandarin and the citrusy resinousness of elemi. Soon, I perceive the warm amber and incense notes in the base, which makes it warm and pleasantly enveloping without becoming suffocating or too heavy.
The citrusy freshness of the elemi resin remains quite long, giving the fragrance an astonishing lightness.
I do not perceive the flowers in the heart note individually - they rather blend into the overall picture and round it off.
However, in summer, the citrus notes dissipate more quickly, and the fragrance generally appears even sweeter. Above 25 degrees, it might become a bit too heavy despite everything.

My fragrance experience is actually surprisingly far from a sweet, floral gourmand.
In the top note, the scent is quite zesty and sharp in the nose - it definitely has a champagne effect. However, it doesn't come across as fruity or sweet to me, but rather fresh and herbaceous.
Once the top notes have faded a bit, Tonkazure reminds me one-to-one of the first gust of wind that comes from a heavily heated spruce sauna. Woody, slightly sour, and somewhat resinous-dry.
In the drydown, it becomes soft and the tonka comes through with a delicate sweetness.
Interesting fragrance experience, absolutely away from marketing and the notes that are listed.

I am absolutely enchanted by this fragrance!
From the very first whiff, it brings a smile to my face. Lalla la Rose is sweet, fruity-rosy, and gives a feeling of coziness - just perfect for snuggling up.
The sweetness of the fragrance is present, but never overwhelming or sticky. According to the marketing, the scent is inspired by Turkish Delight - which I find to be a quite fitting image. When I smell Lalla la Rose, I envision fluffy pink cotton candy clouds, Turkish Delights, and mountains of marshmallows set on a table adorned with bouquets of pink roses.
For me, it's a journey through a rosy land of plenty!

For me, the white flowers dominate quite strongly overall.
Even in the top notes, I mainly find it floral; the coconut milk is more about providing a creamy texture than being strongly noticeable. It has something of a tropical, floral sunscreen.
In the drydown, the scent becomes very softly woody-vanilla. However, I perceive it as quite close to the skin and subtle.
Those expecting a sweet coconut-vanilla scent will likely be surprised here (at least according to my nose), as it is neither particularly coconut- nor vanilla-heavy and only has a very light floral or, in the drydown, woody sweetness.
Really a lovely scent that invites you to keep sniffing. But the name is tendentially misleading.
