Lune Féline Extrait is the epitome of a great vanilla fragrance - it’s intensely sweet and opulent, fantastically building on the original. Initially it opens very warm and spicy with cinnamon, cardamom and pink pepper. A hint of woody, salty freshness then lingers in the background from cedar and ambergris. From here the vanilla shines through, which is the star of the show. It’s soft, sweet and delicate, and yet somehow also dark, rugged and slightly earthy. This is likely from the styrax and Peru Balsam which gives the scent its addictive animalic qualities. This fragrance smells very much like an amber however lacks the required notes to be considered one. Nevertheless this is a fantastic vanilla and really demonstrates the creatively complex side to vanilla-centric perfumery. An absolute pleasure to experience.
A hooded figure watching from beyond the shadows, but shadows of what, and why in a place no shadow should be? The insidious intrusion, the confounding juxtaposition, the thing found in the wrong place. The stirring of things best left unstirred. Resinous orchid musk, feral balmy, rotting-earthed humidity. Milky murk, like looking through the eyes of the dead. Honeyed spices part buried, cinnamon-cardamom-disinterment deferred, the ground is wrong, a terror in the terroir. The boundless and hideous unknown, a carnal effluvium of the eerie and the weird, reinterpreted as a not-too-bad fragrance. Actually, kinda lovely.
