Fern and Moss / Fern

Lvnea

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Lvnea Fern and Moss / Fern is a fresh, green unisex fougère that opens with bergamot, pink grapefruit and basil and settles into lavender absolute, oakmoss and vetiver. The opening is led by citrus: bergamot and pink grapefruit give a bright lift, while basil adds a spicy, green edge. Lavender absolute carries the heart. In the dry-down, tonka bean softens everything into a powdery warmth, and oakmoss and vetiver build an earthy, woody base. Voters rate its longevity as moderate and its sillage as weak, so it stays fairly close to the skin, though the number of votes is small and these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads equally well on men and women and suits anyone who wants a calm, herbal fougère. Gravel American Dream and Creed Bois du Portugal have a close profile.

Frost Flowers

7.0

Lvnea

Fresh · Floral · Green

Lvnea Frost Flowers is a fresh, green floral for women, with jasmine and tuberose cooled by mint and cypress. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means those figures are only a rough guide. It reads as a feminine fragrance. The floral core comes from jasmine and tuberose, while mint and cypress give it a cool, green edge. Blackcurrant adds a fruity sweetness, and ambrette seed and elemi resin bring a spicy, woody, faintly animal depth. La Via del Profumo Oasis and Parfum d'Empire 3 Fleurs have a close profile.

Violet Woods

7.1

Lvnea

Fresh · Floral · Green

Lvnea Violet Woods is a women's fragrance that sets the powdery, green character of violet leaf and orris root against a woody base of sandalwood, rosewood and oud. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than leaving a strong trail. Both ratings rest on a small number of votes, so they are a rough guide only. As a whole it reads fresh and floral, with a green, leafy air. Orris root adds a powdery, creamy softness, while sandalwood and rosewood give it a sweet, woody frame. Oud sits behind them with a spicy, resinous, slightly smoky edge, and a synthetic touch runs through the accords. Amouage Meander and Penhaligon's The Revenge of Lady Blanche have a close profile.

Dagger Moon

6.7

Lvnea

Green · Gourmand · Spicy

Lvnea Dagger Moon is a green, earthy unisex scent built around coffee bean, juniper berry and Palo Santo. Longevity is rated moderate, though with few votes that reads as a tendency rather than a firm verdict. There is no input on sillage, season or occasion. With its woody, resinous character it can sit on either men or women. The gourmand warmth of coffee bean meets the dry, green tone of juniper berry. Palo Santo and tree moss lay down a woody, resinous base, while mitti attar adds the feel of earth after rain. Nutmeg brings spice and vetiver a dry, earthy depth. Neotantric Dirty Money and Olo Forêt have a close profile.

Ghost Pine (Perfume Oil)

7.8

Lvnea

Fresh · Green · Sweet

Perfume Oil

Lvnea Ghost Pine (Perfume Oil) is a unisex perfume oil that puts pine needle, bark and moss at the front, in a fresh, green forest mood. Woods, bark, pine needle, leaves, plant juice, mist note and moss read as one whole. It smells fresh and green first, with a woody base and a resinous edge. Sweet and creamy accords soften the sharpness, while a spicy touch and a fougère character pull it away from a dry forest toward a damper, misty one. Dusita Issara and CB I Hate Perfume #704 Wild Hunt/Forest have a close profile.

Mourning Ritual

7.8

Lvnea

Floral · Spicy · Woody

Lvnea Mourning Ritual is a resinous, woody unisex fragrance whose floral, spicy and powdery sides give it a calm, dark character. Its longevity is rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is only a rough guide. It is not tied to one gender and can sit comfortably on anyone's skin. The scent is built from four notes: opoponax absolute, Russian rose, cedarwood and Omani frankincense. Resinous warmth and woody dryness come first, while the rose adds a soft floral touch and a powdery texture. The oriental and spicy accords give the blend depth.

Feu Follet

6.3

Lvnea

Sweet · Gourmand · Woody

Lvnea Feu Follet is a unisex scent that pairs a sweet, gourmand side with a resinous, woody and smoky core. Its sillage is rated good, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. Nothing is known about its longevity, seasons or occasions, but as a unisex scent it suits both women and men. Amber and leather lead, while fir balsam and pine resin bring a forest-like, resinous feel. Bark, pine tar and smoke add a dry, charred depth, with woody notes holding it together. The sweetness softens that rough texture.

Spirituum

7.9

Lvnea

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Lvnea Spirituum is a unisex chypre led by copal resin, oakmoss and patchouli. The notes read as a single whole: copal resin and myrrh give a resinous warmth, while labdanum pulls it towards leather and smoke. Oakmoss and patchouli lay an earthy, woody floor, and galbanum adds a green, fresh edge that loosens the density a little. Citrus and spicy touches stay in the background. The result is dry, green and resinous, suited to those who like classic chypres and smoky, earthy scents. Tom Ford Italian Cypress and CinisLabs Chypre have a close profile.

Pêche Obscène (Eau de Parfum)

8.4

Lvnea

Floral · Fruity · Woody

Eau de Parfum

Lvnea Pêche Obscène Eau de Parfum is a floral, fruity chypre that sets the soft sweetness of peach on an earthy, woody base, and it is made for anyone, men and women alike. Peach and osmanthus form the fruity side of the scent, while jasmine adds the floral part. Patchouli, moss and vetiver sit underneath, pulling the sweetness towards the ground and giving it a dry, slightly damp chypre feel. Sandalwood rounds off these sharper edges and ties everything together with woody warmth. The fruit stays in front, but it reads less like sugary dessert and more like a peach balanced by green and earthy notes. Lvnea Pêche Obscène (Parfum) and Castle Forbes Lonach have a close profile.

Cuir Fétiche

7.6

Lvnea

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Lvnea Cuir Fétiche is a unisex scent led by leather, oud and frankincense. Saffron and leather give it a spicy, leathery frame, while frankincense and oud push it towards a resinous, woody depth. Fossilised amber adds sweetness and warmth. Sweet, spicy and woody accords sit side by side, and the animal, earthy and smoky tones make the character heavy and dark. It reads dense and warm rather than fresh or light. Montale Leather Patchouli and Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud have a close profile.

Les Lunatiques

6.2

Lvnea · 2019

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Lvnea Les Lunatiques is a floral, spicy and resinous women's fragrance that opens with camphor, vermouth and black pepper before jasmine and myrrh soften it. The top notes bring camphor, vermouth, black pepper and opoponax, a cool, sharp and lightly spiced first impression. Jasmine adds a soft floral heart. The base of myrrh, sandalwood, ambrette, orris butter and copal resin settles it onto a woody, powdery and creamy ground, with sweet, animal, earthy and smoky shades staying in the background. After the camphor and pepper, it ends warm and resinous. Lush Sappho and Francesca Bianchi Angel's Dust have a close profile.

Rose Fantôme

7.7

Lvnea

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Lvnea Rose Fantôme is a chypre-leaning women's perfume that sets rose against oakmoss, oak wood and soil. The scent reads more earthy and woody than floral. Rose sits softly beside the oakmoss and oak wood, while soil and cep add a damp, forest-floor depth. Immortelle and hay sweeten it a little and bring a spicy warmth, and a powdery edge smooths the overall impression. Anyone drawn to earthy chypre styles may find a close profile in Parfum d'Empire Immortelle Corse and Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum.
