What does 18 La Lune smell like?

The floral core is tuberose, lily and orris root, the last adding a soft, powdery touch. Sandalwood and musk fill in a woody, gentle base under it, while leather lends a leathery edge. The accords also include green and fruity sides, so the whole reads fresh, sweet and slightly spicy.

Most voters recommend spring and summer, and daily and leisure wear lead the occasions. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters call it feminine. It has been discontinued.
