While this isn’t everything I hoped it would be, I still like it.
On first spray I get crisp apple. I totally get the shampoo vibe that others mentioned. It’s refreshing and light and almost smells like a light beverage you could drink. Think sparkling apple juice. Then the apple fades away and in steps a bloom of flowers. I don’t want to mislead others when I say that this isn’t lily, but it is still a very pretty nondescript floral. It’s refreshing and still in the soapy/shampoo vein, which lily can sometimes be. It’s not always a rich meaty white floral explosion. This one is very understated, a lily that doesn’t even try to announce that it is a lily, it is just there to serve it’s purpose of providing a fresh floral heart. Then the (lily) flower slowly fades or floats away, leaving you with the powdery leather base. It’s not a rich saddle leather or even a creamy handbag leather. It’s more of the equivalent to a good quality leather strap on the straw or canvas handbag. It’s not nonexistent but I almost wonder if I’d have detected it if I had not had these notes in front of me to know what I was searching for. Best case scenario, I might have even guessed suede to be the culprit, I usually see it as leathers tamer sister.
This is a fragrance that you need the map to in advance to know what final destination you are going to end up in. Otherwise you might be totally lost on the whimsical fluttery path known as a fruity floral as this one is.
Lasting power was 3, maybe 4 hours tops, it could increase if I had applied more. I only used about 1/2 a normal test application as I’m supposed to be taking a break from fragrance this week (I just couldn’t resist y’all).
I like how the notes bleed from one to the next. I definitely get a heads up of what’s coming next but then once it fades out it’s gone completely and we’re in the next stage of the fragrance.
Sillage was light the voters aren’t pulling legs here, but I don’t really mind a soft sillage in a fragrance if the occasion calls for it. I know regardless that when I put this on I’ll be pleased with how I smell and confident that anyone who comes in close will think so too.
BMWM3E46 – :
This is a subtle, but serious and cold fragrance. No warmth here.
НВячеслав – :
This is very light, citrusy floral with a shampooney vibe to it. Longevity and sillage are minimal. It does not contain aquatic notes. I would use it for weekends or sport, preferably in summer. Definitely not when you wanna make a statement. I think it could suit as a non-offensive gift to basically anyone from age 15 to 95:)I bought a tester for 18 euro, but higher price is not really justified as it is as week as a body mist. But overall, I quite like it and it can find its place in my collection of Chanels and Pradas.
g261 – :
This fragrance is delightful with a clean, fresh lily note that is simply perfect. I’m not always a fan of lily but it’s exceptionally well done here.
The longevity isn’t the best but I love respraying it and getting that intoxicating first hit.
aleksandr1985 – :
Fresh, shower fresh fruity scent. Not the most original, actually very generic. It reminds me of Ralph, by Ralph Lauren, same style/almost same scent. longevity just 2-3 hours, very soft sillage. Apple and lily are the most prominent notes.
dhv366JeomiWogkig – :
I would agree with most of the reviews… yes it has a soft sillage and poor longevity but definitely serves a purpose in my collection. It performs almost like a cologne and I feel like I can spray it liberally all over to feel fresh. It is a very pleasant scent and compliment getter (while it lasts)! Perfect for when you don’t want anything too heavy or cloying and available on fragrancenet for a bargain 🙂
aleracces – :
My ex did a couple of things right. One of those things was that he gave me a couple of bottles of perfume he picked up in Mexico. Unfortunately, these were not original bottles, and were either some sort of dupe, or a black-market of the originals. Since I wasn’t into perfume at the time (it was what catapulted me into this crazy hobby), I didn’t even care much what the abbreviated names stood for on the stickers at the bottom.
But one of these scents got attention for me. It was the quieter of the two, but I had co-workers (at the time) and others comment about how perfect the scent was. it smelled incredibly good, but was light and non-offensive.
Now mind you, this was from the other side of the room that the perfume was noticed. I think those who complain about the longevity and silage might need to ask those around them (I didn’t smell my perfume when that co-worker commented), or wear this in warm weather.
While I don’t have those knock-off bottles anymore, I think this was that scent.
This is such an interesting perfume. And by interesting, I mean it’s so plain-Jane and “safe,” and I am so NOT those things! But I love it so much. And in Haiti’s heat, this is absolutely perfect. It’s like soapy perfumes, but it’s not harsh in the least. It’s velvety smooth. I cannot imagine the harsh reviews of those who cry “synthetic,” but I think perfume brings out the emotions of people and when people spend money on something they expect to be one way and it’s not, they get a little pissy.
For me, this is probably a FB purchase. Even though I’ve had the decant for at least 6 months and haven’t put it on my buy list, there’s a big difference between Minnesota and Haiti as far as climate. And this is absolutely perfect for when you need to smell fresh but you don’t want to smell too much of anything.
That being said, the leather is nearly not there at all.
I don’t get much of the apple or citrus (just a touch of sweetness, which I attribute more to the sandalwood and orris root than to the fruit). It is definitely floral-dominant. I’d say the note votes are pretty accurate to my nose except that the orris root should be voted higher, the apple lower, and the leather lower.
If you’re afraid of leather, this one is for you!
skif24 – :
Elegant, subtle and perfect for daily wear. However it has quite a poor sillage. Perfect for winter wear.
On my skin, the white floral notes and woody notes are quite noticeable. I did not detect any trace of citrus in this.
davog7777 – :
Funny story with this one… Scentbird shipped me this by mistake and I got to keep it anyway as an apology. I wore it to the office one day and the place went nuts! EVERYBODY was commenting on the wonderful smell. I heard words like fresh, energizing, delightful… one co-worker told me if I didn’t want my mistake flask she would be happy to take it off my hands. Another co-worker cornered me in the break room and demanded I tell her what I was wearing. So I guess this tarot pick was fate.
novikov787898 – :
Such a comforting scent:) poor longevity and sillage but I have yet to find a fragrance with this feel (ie Bvlgari omnia crystalline, Versace bright crystal, Etc) that does well in these departments.
wwwkkkjjjnnn – :
Bouhgt a set of the Anthology samples at the charity shop and this one is the first I am testing. Reading the comparison to J’adore put me off a little bit…
I sprayed it, went shopping and was trying to figure out the resemblance of other perfume. And I found it on my way home: my very favourite Acqua di Gio! I cannot tell what notes and when but I like it as much as Acqua. It very comforting, summery, friendly and happy fragrance. A lovely and well balanced mixture of fruit, sun, flowers and pure happines. Longevity is not very good but I am considering buying a full size bottle anyway.
erurlertyn – :
to me, this is like the way the mansion of an elegant socialite that uses Dior J’adore as a room spray would smell. It’s effortless beautiful, soft, and does smell a bit of J’adore to me. I love it as a fall scent, and it does give me that feeling of hope and mystery that one gets when wistfully gazing at the full moon. A winner if you love a nice soft, non-powdery floral.
Predator_3377 – :
For me it’s like hug from good friend . something about warmness of leather ,shampoo but good one ,rainy weather most flattering for lune.
andrey_0689 – :
I’ve just finished my old bottle. I really loved it, but unfortunately the longetivity is really weak on my skin, so I had to respray several times a day, this is the only reason I won’t repurchase it. Besides this, it is a really pleasant powdery-leathery scent, not too harsh, perfect every-day, office scent with a little twist. I would describe it as a simple and elegant choice of a woman who is in perfect harmony with herself with mature confidence and witty attitude.
genn62 – :
Right from the beginning I got lots of synthetic rose and indistinguishable green/floral/fruity notes. It smells a lot like you forget to rinse your hair after showering and left too much Pentene shampoo in there. The notes are presented in a very strange way: the lily not crisp, the leather rubbery and not supple, and then the apple? Well if you like DKNY-style apple this *might* be acceptable. Given the price range I don’t think there is any naturals used in this perfume, and honestly it smells like it, just very synthetic and unexciting.
mixefem – :
I have been using it for a few days after I recently bought it from another fume head. So far I’m not impressed. This is very light and barely leaves a trail. From the apples, I don’t smell much. Just a very light tart apple hint in the opening, without much of a character. It’s fresh, sure, and floral and cool, and it might work well on a hot summmer day/night. A slight hint of tuberose is also there. But what else?? Personally, I expected so much more. From a brand like Dolce & Gabbana (stupid me), AND for something that is said to be inspired by the moon. I mean, there has the be better ways to make a well blended perfume with the moon as an inspiration, right? Something that is at least memorable and not boring and like a thousand other bottles out there? Also, longevity is bad. After 2-3 hours, I barely smell it at all. Anyway, it smells “good” and “totally ok” but I want to smell more than that. I want to smell memorable and I want other to smell it on me.
Pafnutiy – :
Again one of my favourites, completely different to what I’m into…I’m on my 5th bottle and going to buy another when this one runs out. First off all its woody and misterious, its not offensive and not very strong. Its only EDT so you can’t expect it to last all day. I find its good for winter and summer. It makes me feel sexy as soon as I put it on. Its one of those scents that gives you the feeling of closure with your own body as its very deep and makes you want to get lost like you can’t have enough of it. If I smelt it on a man i suppose I wouldn’t dismiss it however i doubt its unisex. Its the sexiest perfume I have ever owned.
lena_22 – :
Green floral-woody. I can smell zesty apples in the beginning, but then it develops into a somewhat melancholic lily, woods, and fresh, almost herbal scent. It’s stable and has a calming effect on the nerves. It’s a beautiful composition, but to be honest, it’s not a one-of-a-kind. Five years ago it would have been a perfume just up my alley, but nowadays I wish it came in smaller bottles; I’d buy 30mls, but I wouldn’t know what to do with 100mls.
It has a safe sillage, sits close to skin. After drying and I get average longevity with it.
empociami – :
This one is alright. At first it reminds me of cucumbers but then I smell the lilly followed by a soft note of rose. It rather nice but it won’t become one of my favorites. I might use it every once and a while but there are other perfumes that I like way better.
Гризли – Папа – :
I got this scent as a gift for myself at my 20th birthday. All my friends went crazy about L’Imperatrice, and I’ve been dreaming about La Lune.
This scent for me is very mysterious. I like to wear it on cloudy, rainy, foggy and cool autumn days. It’s cryspy and fresh, but floral at the same time. I think this perfume was created for special, introspective mood.
When I smell it, I imagine big pond in the forest. It’s twilight, and I stand on the shore, and the smell of cool dark water mixes together with the smell of different white flowers which grow up on the shore.
By the way, my Zodiac sign is Cancer, and Cancer’s planet is The Moon, so I find this сoinsidence very amusing.
gbvuzwoypnd – :
such a light apple tuberose friendly perfume can not trace the leather note here.
ilja2000 – :
Fresh, floral & gorgeous! I really like this one but I think it’s underated compared to the others. Also, does anyone else get a banana smell with this one? It’s not a bad thing (I love it) just wondering if it’s just me?
NoFly – :
This is so underrated! This a perfume that I am getting for third time and I rarely buy perfumes twice! I love this, could be my signature…
I reach for this one more often then anything else, not overpowering at all and always always draws compliments. And lasts surprisingly long.
Love, love, love !
KvAnT – :
Love the smell- fresh and woody at the same time, modern, kind of sophisticated but surprisingly not heavy. Could have been my signature scent, too bad the longevity and sillage are very poor/ soft.
KolaDalnoboyshiks – :
Aroma feliz mas demasiado subtil e discreto. O perfume do dia a dia para quem quer passar despercebida!
Pobre na fixação.
Para me sentir perfumada com este perfume só com umas 10 borifadelas….
procyk – :
Anyone else get a strong banana scent with this one? It’s lovely, but reading the notes, it doesn’t smell anything like them. Except the floral. Really light and nice smell. I like it =)
monahtr – :
With a name like La Lune, I was hoping for something a bit more austere. This reminds me of another D&G Anthology fragrance, La Roue de la Fortune. Tuberose and fruit. The main difference being the lack of patchouli.
It’s soft and a bit sweet. Definitely an easy tuberose to like and thus safe for “beginners” in the white floral genre.
serg_kisel – :
This is a very light perfume that is mainly tea to my nose. I was interested in this because of the leather note, but I don’t pick up any leather in this at all. It’s a very soft, feminine scent, and I agree with those who say it reminds them of dawn breaking. I wore it to a ladies’ brunch the other day, and I could smell it as I left the house, but when I got to the restaurant all I could smell was everyone else’s perfume and not my own. I also could no longer smell it when I left 2 hours later, so the longevity is not great. It is pretty though.
Dr_Zolberg1 – :
I think it’s not as good as the other perfumes from this line. It’s overwhelmingly white floral, sweet and a little soapy (not in a good way). It reminds me of some Avon’s fragrances.
I have nothing against tuberose in perfumes, so it’s probably lily, I can’t stand.
A matter of taste, I am not disliking it because of bad quality but the overwhelming floral scent. The quality seems to be quite good – it’s long lasting and has a good sillage.
dimakhom – :
Gutes Parfüm, animalisch für jeden Tag. Keine grosse Langlebigkeit, aber sehr fein. Kaum Silage. Nicht schwer, aber auch nicht zu leicht.
Soadaycor – :
Love this one’s transparency, chilliness, and the memories it able to conjure up, almost melancholic.
it just smells like my one childhood hot summer day, in an air-conditioned quaint antique-selling tea house, seeping away the iced jasmine green tea with sister…ahhh.
facelifting – :
La Lune is actually a perfume I share.. with a guy. But that’s OK because it smells completely different on each of us. From a ladies perspective this smell on him smells warm, woody and slightly citrusy. Very inviting especially in the colder weather. On me, all I can smell are sweet, crisp apples, lily, and a soft amount of leather. After a while of sitting on my skin it evolves into the most delicate and mouthwatering smell ever — for some reason it smells exactly like the crust of an apple pie. I love wearing this when I’m curled up on a cold night. It fades quite quickly however, but it’s such a lovely delicate scent that I feel it wouldn’t work if it was any heavier.
res000 – :
i like this. i was worried about the lily because their fragrance tends to remind me of funerals. but this doesnt! i get mostly a floral with maybe the lightest leather touch. a daytime everyday kind of fragrance. nothing special but nothing offensive. great for work. unfortunately it doesnt last on me.
my husband thinks its pleasant.
Gunalase – :
Wow, the reviews on this one really run the gamut! Personally, I really like this fragrance. It’s one of my go-to office fragrances for the Fall. I think it’s modern, versatile and really pretty.
It opens for me as an apple floral mix that I find optimistic. I liken the opening to walking through an outdoor market on a early Autumn morning with a black leather jacket on, carrying a sack of red delicious apples and a bouquet of fragrant flowers. It has just the right amount of tuberose: any more would make this a no no for the office. It has a really nice floral musk dry down that’s seasoned with Sandalwood. Rather than leather I get more of a suede sensation.
Longevity is pretty good for me (4+ hours) and projection is noticeable but polite. I couldn’t be happier with it!
koko-l15 – :
Not a big fan of this one. It’s like a powdery masculine soap on me. I can see it suiting some people well, but it’s definitely not for me.
pypetactlaf – :
Wery nice. Light.
222-7337 – :
This is so nice, so pretty and mysterious at the same time, my favorite of the Anthologie line, a nice woodsy floral scent, stylish yet sophisticated, fresh, lovely, La Lune being a good name for the intriguing vibe of the scent! it is subtle, stays close to the skin in a smooth way..unlike anything out there..very nice..I don’t wear it a lot, but once in a while I get in the mood for it!!
fromgetto – :
My fave amongst the anthology series and just got my second bottle.
It’s soft, subtle, yet fresh and has the calming sensation. OK for day and night. It’s not that kind of complex frag but really has something in it. When i get stressed out, i take hot shower, wearing comfy sweater, spritz this and i feel good. I also reach it everytime i want to smelled ‘innocent’ and it’s cute for a-lazy to go out-let’s just cuddle-weekend. <3
uyt276bedyWelty – :
The most gentle, beautiful, softest, creamiest, most intimate, tender and innocent scent. I am crazy in love with this perfume…
malon93 – :
I love tuberose, so I’m enjoying this. Other than the flower notes I can also smell the apple note. I agree with the reviewer that said the leather makes it more interesting. I just think is a classy scent, that is not loud and office safe.
Dimas55555 – :
These scents have nothing to do with tarot cards, it seems they just picked this because of the ‘mysterious vibe’ or something. Otherwise, force wouldn’t have been a men’s scent, roue de la fortune wouldn’t be so sweet and this one, la lune, would be much deeper and darker.
However, this IS a good scent. Very light, very subtle. Very low sillage and moderate longevity, but pleasant, classy, inoffensive. Not particularly special, but this sure makes a pretty daytime scent.
3epatyJI – :
This has a great deal of sweet tuberose and some fresher lily, and these scents dominate the composition. There is a hint of warmth from the leather and the musk, but neither of these are overwhelming. This is a great fragrance for any season, any time. The musk and leather keep it warm enough for winter as well. It is not very strong however, so it does not make this a very good powerhouse going out scent. But it’s great for any occasion for a subtle classy scent that stands out a bit (the leather really makes this just not another white floral).
mihei – :
I’ve read a comment at launch from Claudia Schiffer (who modeled this fragrance) that La Lune is soft, fresh and great for all occasions. Since I find her gorgeous, I’ve always wanted to try La Lune. I finally tried it in the store and bought it. I get a very floral opening, must be the lily, and some citrus. I was hoping to get the leather but I couldn’t detect it at all. It remains floral as it dries down and becomes a bit powdery. Nice scent but I find it quite linear, and leaves something to be desired.
26945 – :
This is such a fresh perfume!! I wanted to try number 10 and asked the saleswoman for a jasmin-scent and she gave me this one. I have to say that I missed the jasmin notes but all in all it is a lovely scent!
wiktor-xp – :
White floral soap. Good, clean, long lasting (about 6 hours++) but nothing special. Perfect for these days when you can’t choose what to wear. It is very unisex IMO. I share this one with my boyfriend and we both like it – what there is not to like in a fresh soap? 🙂
ivan2004954 – :
For some reason the first thing i smell is banana.. i don’t know where this note is coming from but is is there, and it is strong.
shura83 – :
Does anyone have perfumes for sale or swap?
loki111 – :
Had this one and returned it. Fresh and citrusy,that’s about it. Didn’t change much on me, and didn’t impress me at all. There was something in it that hurt my nose, I couldn’t wear it. Nothing interesting, has no character and no longevity.
maxfile – :
Definitely a light, subtle scent of tuberose. I am trying to pick up the other notes as I do not detect the fruit nor the leather. It is good for the office because it is not offensive or too strong. I may keep it…had to return D&G 6 because it was too masculine but would like to try D&G 3.
kirichencko-98 – :
Hi everybody, have an extra bottle of this. Let me know if anyone wants to swap or buy!
yanis – :
Pure, sophisticated, lingering, modern, serene…these adjectives run through my mind when wearing a soft veil of La Lune. It’s simple and fresh, not outstanding and flashy in any way, but a sheer classic in its own delicate way.
Soucoureharce – :
The best for me for the past 3 years.
slavaf – :
Ok, let me put it this way: If you are one of those girls who wants to make a statement with her perfume, or if you want to have people turn their heads and tell you how “great” you smell, then this one is definetely not for you. It’s not like the loud girl who draws attention to herself immediately,it’s more like the shy one who doesnt’t get noticed much but as soon as she opens up a little, you absolutely fall for her.That’s what I love about this fragrance: Yes it is very light, and subtle, yet captivating, as some have already mentioned. It is beautiful and seductive in a natural way, without trying too hard, like you came out of the shower and just quickly threw over your man’s shirt. I don’t get much of the base notes, florals and a hint of sweetness are dominat. Another reason why I like this: Though it’s not a niche fragrance, you won’t smell this on a lot of other girls. And the price is quite reasonable too, for a designer fragrance. I do agree with the others that this absolutely lacks staying power, that’s why I never put this on my skind. I spray it generously into my hair and clothes.
Jukilogftrent – :
the animalic note separates the similarities between this & L’imperatrice..in my opinion. and with that smells like a Rexona deodorant LOL.
a pleasant cool soft floral scent, i’m testing the mini currently, i have the L’imperatrice on my want list now & still not sure about this one…
edit: it passes my 4hrs test! the drydown on my skin is soft leathery, cooling floral scent..very pleasant! gotta put this in my want list..hehe 😀
blagoi1985 – :
Delicate aquatic floral. Initial impression, I would say violet leaf with soft white florals and aquatic notes. Some greenery included too, to the minimum thou.
Doesn’t last very long 3 hours; but again this fragrance is very mild and meant for daytime.
а999777 – :
Soft fragrance for daywear, hard to describe, it dries down to a soft floral, to a person who’s not into floral fragrances i found this easy to wear…. the downside however is that i doesn’t last long
1111pop – :
It’s beautiful.
There is a resemblance between La Lune and L’eau d’Issey EDT.
Not in specific notes, but in the feeling it evokes.
If you like Issey, or delicate, slightly sweet and ozonic florals, try La Lune.
rolandinio – :
Nice scent – pleasant and totally inoffensive, not much sillage or longevity. Great for work or day time.
dvn964Diobtetty – :
I would have to respectfully disagree about j’adore and DK being better alternatives. J’adore is far too synthetic and chemically smelling, and gives me a fierce headace when spritzed. The kind of molecules DK uses for apples are of low quality and turn utterly rotten within minutes on me. Hermes fruits are by and far much better, if that’s what you’re looking for. I got a lovely sweet apple/bergamont opening, fading into some very well done powerhouse florals. Oh, and as far as lasting power, I have no idea what other people are talking about with it fading within the hour. Clearly they all have dry skin, or don’t exfoliate, because this lasts and lasts on me! going strong here 4 hours now… although i will admit sillage is minimal, you only smell it if you’re standing right next to the person. As it dries down, the florals remain, but are blended well with the orris root, and surprisingly, musk and leather! Leather is almost always a terrible note on me, but here it’s so well blended! Musks are usually hit or miss, depending on the quality and kind. I’m actually quite pleased with this little offering, what ever D&G do in their lab, keep it up!
n1ce boy – :
I was instantly drawn to this frag the minute I first smellt it and very soon after purchased it. I pick up lovely white flower/tuberose tones mixed with a hint of apple, brought down by earthy sandalwood and a hint of leather… Fresh yet sexy. Like somebody else said, I find it lasting longer on clothes than skin. I think this will be my new ‘casual’ perfume for both days and nights out. Playful, sexy and fresh.
i.i. – :
I loved it when I first smelt it although it changed on my skin and now I wear it like a splash. It reminded me of one summer in Italy on the adriatic coast when I saw Naomi Campbell and her boyfriend “promenading” on the island of Capri. Also the feeling you get at duty free stores in the airport when you are waiting for your flight…
shamil111 – :
the staying power is quite good, it stays few days sprayed on clothes. fades away faster from the skin
tio323 – :
i love this perfume, it’s light but in a luxuriuous way. very femminine white flower smell. good for everyday wearing and it picks my mood up when i wear it.
AlexAutoReal – :
For me this is a perfect everyday scent for hot weather. Not strong and lasting indeed, but no need to be, as it strictly for the summer.
You have to live in a country with a really hot summer to appreciate it.
компот – :
I use this perfume often and always get compliments. The Anthology is such a great collection and La Lune 18, L`Imperatrice 3 and La Fortune 10 are my favorites out of the line. La Lune is very pleasant and inoffensive, and I think it smells quite aquatic, slightly fruity floral. It captured my senses because the first notes made me think of melon. I love melon!! Next note I scent is a floral character with a very pleasant aroma of lily. The dominant elements in the La Lune is white florals. It’s a clean scent that neither is overwhelming or screaming for attention. This scent seems dedicated to women who do not need the attention of everyone, but without passing unnoticed. Unfortunately, it has a low persistence and a very weak sillage, like many others already have mentioned.
Jag använder denna parfymen ofta och får alltid många komplimanger. Antologin är en underbar samling av dofter och La Lune 18, L`Imperatrice 3 och La fortune 10 är mina favoriter ur linjen. La Lune är väldigt trevlig och oförarglig och jag tycker den är ganska lätt fruktigt blommig. Den fångar mig i ett ögonblick på grund av dofter från melon och jag äääälskar dofter av melon!!!! Strax efter uppfattar jag noter av blommig karaktär, framförallt lilja. De dominerande elementen i La Lune är vita blommor. Det är en ren doft som varken är överväldigande eller som skriker efter uppmärksamhet. Doften verkar tillägnas kvinnor som inte behöver uppmärksamhet av alla, men utan att gå obemärkt förbi. Tyvärr har den har en låg uthållighet och svag styrka, liksom många andra redan nämnt.
SidorZ – :
The very best thing I can say about this perfume is that it doesn’t last which was a great aspect….that meant less scrubbing for me. syrupy sweet floral with no leather to speak of. I bought this because I read somewhere it was considered a leather perfume. Not so, on me. For some reason I believe that all or most of the D&G anthologies were mixed from the same base, as they all have this similar type of framework <– I’m not sure thats the right word but bottom line: I’m not a fan
3361669 – :
I found this in the back of my sister’s cupboard and the first time I smelt this I really didn’t like it. Surprisingly, I wore it once and I could not believe the compliments I got on it! I got very used to it after a while and now I wear it when I feel like being strong, independent and empowered. It’s not an everyday scent, but I do like it for a day when I want to stand up and stand out from the typical.
anton168 – :
I think it’s more powdery than how this page describes it.
hawker – :
Nice, fresh smell, but it doesn´t lasts … I won´t buy it again.
ZemDm – :
it doesn’t last at all , one hour and it’s gone
2 bad i liked the smell ….
ihorek35 – :
I’m wearing it today, and Spirit of Moonflower- The Body Shop don’t get out of my head.
Very floral, linear… violet and… boring.
Fits better in women.
For my taste it’s the worst of this line (compared to its “brothers”).
Night_Hunter1 – :
It’s a nice smell but it’s plain and boring. Everything else in the Anthology series is unforgettable and is one of a kind. I smell lily the most, the leather is ok but i don’t really notie it… OK fragrance, but meanigles to me.

I thought of a miracle when i first tested this scent on the test paper ; I usually hate the leather note, and most of the time hate the musk too , but i really loved this airy , light , bright one .
For so long i had considered buying it . Until today , when i deceided to test it on me , so i went to the perfume store and happily sprayed myself , and regreted it almost right away . It’s really too musky and leathery for me . If you don’t like those notes either , don’t buy !
I’m so sad because i REALLY loved it on paper , but it shows how important it is to try perfumes on you before buying .
It makes me think of White Musk , from Body shop , because it’s so musky.
I love the concept the Anthology line , i’ll try La Roue de fortne on my skin soon , i hope it won’t be a bad surprise.

I got this perfume as a sample and just tried it today, and my first reaction to smelling this was I have to get a large bottle, and I need to tell people how good it smells. As one other reviewer said a salesman described this as “dawn just breaking”. It’s a clean scent, not overpowering, nothing screaming for attention. It’s kind of sexy, in a natural way, not like the voluptuous woman that makes men’s tongue hang out, but that familiar scent, like realizing you’re in love with you best friend lol. Sorry my nose isn’t refined enough to pick out notes yet 😛 but la lune is definitely a good name for it.

the first time i used it,it nearly killed me. remembered going to bed early because i couldn’t stand the smell.i did not sleep that night,it was more like i was knocked down by it. i don’t think i mixes well with my chemicals.
so i gave it to my mum,2 years have passed and i see no decline of the volume whatsoever, though she claims that she uses it,hmmmm…

Anthology is such an awesome collection of “cool”, casual fragrances for a younger crowd or those young at heart.
La Lune is very pleasant and inoffensive, I’m getting delicate leather mixed with lily the most… Kelly Caleche type of subtle leather. Actually after 15-20 minutes it does remind me of Kelly Caleche.
Something you can wear with a pair of jeans, or pretty much any time anywhere and in any wheather. The sillage and longevity are very average so if you plan to wear it throughout the day you will have to use it generously and reapply every 2-3 hours. But you can buy it online for a very reasonable price….it can easily be found on Ebay for around $30 for a large bottle, so keep spraying with a heavy hand! Definitely worth a try!
But don’t bother buy
