How it unfolds
-
Orange and bergamot
Orange and bergamot are the sunlit side of this list: juicy, slightly bitter and clean. They lift the florals and keep them light, which suits an eau de toilette. The brand names five notes and no order, so read them as one soft blend rather than as stages.
-
Jasmine and soft rose
A jasmine accord and rose form the floral centre. The brand calls the rose soft, and the jasmine is an accord, a built impression of the flower, so the effect is smooth and rounded: a gentle bouquet of two classic flowers with no sharp edges.
-
Fir balsam
Fir balsam adds a cool, resinous, evergreen note that feels like clean air next to the flowers. It gives the scent depth and a slightly woody, calming edge that fits the idea of relaxing and sinking in, instead of letting it turn simply sweet.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Quiet moments
As an eau de toilette Luna is light enough to be applied generously; three or four sprays are fine. It suits spring and summer, a day off, a calm evening or any time you want a gentle, relaxed scent. Refresh it during the day if you like, as this concentration is made for that.
A calm taste
Luna sits among the brand's fragrances for women. It suits people who like orange and jasmine in a calm setting, with soft rose and a green, resinous finish instead of a sugary one. If you want a dense, heavy scent with a lot of projection, an Eau de Parfum will suit you better.
Why choose Penhaligon's Luna
Luna belongs to the British Tales collection, and Aliénor Massenet is credited as its perfumer, with 2016 as the year. Penhaligon's was founded in London by William Henry Penhaligon, a Cornish-born barber, and the brand dates the house to 1870.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Luna a floral perfume?
Partly. A jasmine accord and rose form the floral part, but orange, bergamot and fir balsam keep it from being a plain bouquet. The brand calls the mood soothing as well as seductive.
Is it an eau de toilette or an eau de parfum?
Luna is an Eau de Toilette of 100 ml. It is lighter than an eau de parfum and easier to wear in warm weather.
What does soothing mean for a perfume?
The brand calls Luna soothing as well as seductive, a bath of orange, jasmine, soft rose and fir balsam. In practice that means bright citrus, soft flowers and a cool, evergreen finish, without heavy sweetness.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
