Description
The fourth fragrance of the collection, available as Eau de Parfum is Luna, which starts with fruity and juicy zests of peach, apricot, lemon, mandarin, black currant and apples, with smoky shade of incense, green notes and spices. The heart poses contrast with a floral union of iris, rose and jasmine, while character is provided by cedar and leather. The base of the composition offers warm and velvety trail of amber, musk and vanilla. In Italian and Latin, Luna stands for the moon. In this case, alchemy and astronomy are closely connected. Traditionally, each of the 7 celestial bodies of the solar system has been closely connected with one metal since the ancient times. Luna is associated with silver. Luna was launched in 2014.

A lovely oriental gourmand, this extremely pleasing fragrance is like smelling a fresh basket of fruits. The perfume opens with a burst of fruity notes including peach, apricot, lemon, mandarin, black currant and apple. The middle phase of the perfume is a floriental with incense, iris, rose and jasmine, cardamom, cedar and leather. Finally the perfume settles as a powdery mix of amber and musk. A very pleasing and bright unisex composition with moderate sillage and good longevity. Recommended highly for lovers of exotic and unusual orientals and gourmands. Enjoy!

The very 1st spray is a mixture that best reminds me of a Persian hypersweet ‘would-be’ dessert.
It’s not about the actual fresh fruit pulp and lush, gently acidic juices here; this is sticky-sweet rose-perfumed dried fruit-pourri, I can best put it.
A strange middle-eastern spice (or is it the insence or a hidden rose-saffron combo?) cuts off any conception of edibility of the candied fruit mix.
It’s also leaning much towards the feminine side, so maybe women will ‘understand’ or prefer this type of scent much better, so to label it as Unisex is a bit misleading here for the populist
Not my type, sorry. I was expecting the lush, fruit bowl version of the top-note arrangement.
My rating: 4/10
Quality: 9/10

Oh wow! I will have to agree with others – this is more feminine and I can imagine only a very brave man to be able to pull this off.
The first notion was a very natural smelling mango – first time I’ve tried this in a perfume and I’m amazed. Soon it was followed with more tropical awesomness, but as soon as the black currant hit in I’m left with this intoxicating, animalic, borderline fecal scent of tropical frutis mixed with something raw and earthy.
The magic goes on for a long time and then the drydown arrives with loads of incense – it’s warm and very smoky with still lingering bits of fruits – making it almost zesty and fresh yet full of darkness!
I’m extremely pleased! I cannot imagine myself finding a situation of wearing this due to fecalness of the opening and heart, but all in all this is perfectly worth a try even though the huge price tag!
Quality is amazing, blent is superb, even though it has a great longevity it does stay close to skin, lingering beautifully – just how it should. Smells expensive and classy despite the weirdness of the scent itself.

(This was)…. Without any doubt, my favourite of the present fragrances available from Al Kimiya. I am looking forward to exploring the innovation behind this new brand.
Don’t rely on first impressions. Take a few moments from your busy life to relax and enjoy these new fragrances, allowing them to unleash your creativity, dreams.
After Luna, my preferred initial preferences were for Layla, Hayat then Kemi. I need to sample again Jabir to experience the dry down better.
Edit….
… On a third test, all my votes go for Hayat. I guess with the passing of time, if not already for many potential buyers and reviewers, this is going to be the most likely to win people’s hearts and cash.
