It may be due to the warm summer that "Lune Féline", as a winter fragrance, does not give a hint of anything bright or green on my skin, that the base already appears in my head and competes with the outside warmth. The composition opens on vibrant accords of warm spices melting with intense and precious woods at its heart. A dark, animalistic quality based on vanilla pods and sensual orchid warmed with bright balsamic notes and musky accords resonates, accentuating the rich, gourmand trail.

life comes from both the fragrance itself (which starts to warm up with rounded resins and sweeter spices) and from my own expectations being met, as the formula divulges bits you’d want at this point: hard woods, salty stones, and open air on one hand, and fur, herb tea, leather handles, and potted plants on another.” I have had the pleasure to sniff Rouge Saray by Atelier des Ors and I have many of their perfumes on »my sniff in 2021 list«. Since I am a lover of green notes and vanilla Lune Feline seems a fragrance very compatible with my particular taste. Cheers from Slovenia (EU). Legend has it that gold was created by colliding of stars, their radiant start dust was scattered across the sky and fell to earth in as the most precious material of them all. Lune Feline captures the brilliance of the night sky and the moon. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that we are dealing with two very different cat characters: "Lune Féline" develops into a somewhat sedate, but beautiful Persian cat with a well-balanced heart note, in which Styrax and fine woods in particular convey a calm down-to-earth quality. "The Bewitching Yasmine" on the other hand is a riot-brushed oriental girl, who prefers to tear around the place and sometimes hits her claws into one or the other nose. With Jasmine, women and men can be even or not!

our story

Lune Feline opening and dry down are very different. It starts with a blast of red pepper, almost makes me sneeze, but later becomes cozy sweet woody fragrance . I’d say it’s my third favorite Atelier des Ors. The third wave, rounded and settled like a return to bed, is balanced and atemporal, just enough of everything to be both familiar and perpetually noticeable: the vanilla is just, the woods are finally polished, the balsams are mellowed and the spices ground.” Disclaimer: Lune Feline provided by Atelier des Ors. Much appreciated, and right at home in my growing, curatorial vanilla collection. Thank you.

In the base, both cat animals come to rest: Vanilla provides this homely feeling, and while in "Lune Féline" even the animal musk remains discreet, "Yasmine" has to make a statement before she goes to sleep, which cats - sorry! - sometimes do by urine marking. Yes, oud is also a matter of taste, and as is well known, taste is not a matter of dispute. The vanilla takes its time. On the first day it takes but actually 1 1/2 hours until I notice that it will not remain only with this sour note. Slowly rolls up quasi from behind a vanilla cloud, which from the beginning suggests its beauty: warm, soft, dark, creamy and little sweet. Only unfortunately, it doesn't manage to finally displace that tart, resinous woody pile. From now on, I have on my skin quasi a "little tree-change-you" game: sometimes wood pile, sometimes beautiful vanilla. Bottle: It's the same bottle, to me it's an 8 - on par with Roja, Amouage etc. I might be giving them too much here even.It’s wonderful to see how Dana relates that experience she had that day with a fragrance , the parallel is like an olfactory deja-vu! She avoided me, the cat, for the whole 14 days, eyeing me from afar, suspicious, as it seemed to me. But "Lune Féline" doesn't contain any valerian or anything else that affects my neighbour's cat, which I chose as a test object. Other perceived notes: petrol, wet stones, geranium flowers, wax, sugar, metal, smoke. I am intrigued by the notes perceived notes petrol, wax, smoke and metal. My favourite from this house is Rose Ommeyade. Thanks a million from the United Kingdom

I haven’t tried anything by Atelier des Ors yet. I do have a sample set coming my way , it’s just taking longer than usual , due to the circumstances…I would love to win Lune Feline, it sounds so right for me!The third wave, rounded and settled like a return to bed, is balanced and atemporal, just enough of everything to be both familiar and perpetually noticeable: the vanilla is just, the woods are finally polished, the balsams are mellowed and the spices ground. There’s also a faint floralcy that sometimes sings juicy to me, and sometimes, pulverulent like frankincense powder; the blend is gauzy in a photographic way… relevant through itself. Like a memory. Today I brought out my "Lune Féline" sample to sweeten my grey working day with a lot of labour-intensive files on the PC. As a cat fan I had to have them, just like I originally took a closer look at "The Bewitching Yasmine" from Penhaligon's because of the enchanting cat flacon, only to discover that I really like the scent too.

Iris Fauve is what I decided to buy, and again had to buy it for abroad because it’s not available at both boutiques i mentioned. Rose Omeyyade 20ml decant i also have. I too had some scary moments with feral cats when I was a young child. Since then , I’m always really careful when I approach cats , feral or not. Conclusion: even though I can perceive the vanilla after about 30 minutes on the second day of testing, the sour wood pile spoils the fragrance for me in such a way that despite beautiful vanilla, there is no desire whatsoever to want to own this fragrance. The second bit is transitional and clarifying, like getting a lens in focus or like getting adjusted to the dark; life comes from both the fragrance itself (which starts to warm up with rounded resins and sweeter spices) and from my own expectations being met, as the formula divulges bits you’d want at this point: hard woods, salty stones, and open air on one hand, and fur, herb tea, leather handles, and potted plants on another.
