Timeless...
Interesting how the category of "Chypre Floral" has changed so much in the last 30 years! This is an archetypal Floral Chypre that bears no semblance to those on the shelves today.
This sophisticated floral is another masterpiece from the house of Jean-Marc Sinan. It boasts a classical pyramid structure that unfolds perfectly. No one note outshines the others; this scent is a lesson in balance. At first it feels very old school, with a sweet classic floral heart bound by green notes. As the notes open up, Lune comes alive in a beautiful symphony of dry Vetiver, Oakmoss, and tart Bergamot dancing with Lily of the Valley. As the perfume warms on the skin, a luxurious soapy quality of Aldehydes, Jasmine, & Roses comes alive. The Ylang-Ylang gives the heart a more languid note, which continues in the base.
Medium sillage with awesome longevity, it will be smelled by those close to you, as a scent of this sort should be. It would not translate well into bigger sillage if overapplied. This perfume is a wonderful example of how stellar quality ingredients in an iconic composition can be timeless. Anyone 100 years ago, or 100 years from now, would find this beautiful.
