I don't understand how I'm capable of loving such an austere piece of understatement, a modern, transparent, white flower 'thing'which could just as easily be dismissed as cheap and throwaway but it's actually fantastic. This is often what I imagine a lilly to smell like a watery, white floral, muguet when in reality they have more in common with musc ravageur than this. (to me anyway) La Lune is basically an uber light tuberose and that's what makes it so compelling...I don't need to be bludgeoned over the head with a waxy, bubblegum tuberose all the time. This tickles my white floral pickle just the right amount. Coupled with the fact I think this fragrance is woody and lightly powdered after that cool, green opening. La Lune evokes some of the 'night blooming' vibe of dewy, cool, wetness, but also a pale, translucent moon, visible during the day. When dried down the effect is anything but cheap for me a delicate violet/iris/synthetic orris sweetness emerges but doesn't dominate. It seems like a very weak, watery EDC (as do many of this line) but I've found it lasts really well. It's now a mildly soapy, shampoo like affair which would normally repel me, but I love this fragrance. It's a wearable not overly feminine, floral fragrance that I'm thoroughly enjoying. 'Dans la Lune' or 'Moonstruck' (which is a great word) is a french phrase for being absent minded or 'having your head in the clouds.' and I completely get why. It might be cheap and cheerful but I think it also has more substance to it than I perhaps might've given it credit for on first sniff. Compared to other 'white flower' fragrances like the new Chanel Gabrielle EDP for example, this is infinitely more appealing and wearable to me.
