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. He does what he wants, the scent, and is similar to the cats in it, perhaps even in the smoothness, which does not hide fine sharpness, sharp edges like that of Lapsang tea.

At some point I gave up trying to impress her with "Lune Féline", left my treats behind - and found a dead mouse in her place. You can get a different vibe for the scent depending on your body temperature. To test the longevity on this, I put on 4 sprays on both arms 9:30 in the morning, knowing I would go to the gym at 5pm. Sitting at my computer, the extrait remained there even without heat as this smoky-balsamic scent while the original was almost entirely gone by hour 4-5. Once I got to the gym, with both scents 8 hours in, the extrait would radiate around a foot's worth - people would notice it when walking by. With heat, you get a smoky-vanilla, definitely sweeter than it is while just sitting around. The original was actually still there also, but you'd have to smell it from up close and even then it was not that noticeable. Our respected colleague Sandra has described briefly all five of the Atelier des Ors perfumes in a previous article. For my review, I chose one of the golden five, Lune Féline Atelier des Ors, for its especially alluring and sultry character. The creators describe it as a magnetic star, attracting and seducing. I do not know how stars may guide or pull behind them a ray of light – but perfumes work differently. We were like kids and bears, salivating profusely to the sweet temptation. 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. Longevity: Extrait will give 10-12 hours at a relevant strength level, original I'd estimate 7-8 hours. So extrait gets a 9, EDP gets a 7.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.

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.” 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. His French sounded strange, his German too, my father told us it was Saxon. While a French doctor has no problem writing his patients a whole bar of antibiotics and paracetamol booms on the prescription, Landau always relied on the "self-healing powers". My mother still can't pronounce the word. Lune Feline Eau de Parfum is decadent vanilla fragrance with spicy, woody accents and a dark, animalic presence inspired by the wonders of the moon, powerfully mysterious, attractive, fascinating and seductive. The prelude to Cat Moon just barely scrapes by cat pee for my nose. It smells sour and slightly pungent. Only gradually changes with me the thought of Katzenpipi in the direction of säuerlich-harziges incense and in the further course I still think of slightly sour, freshly cut wood.She avoided me, the cat, for the whole 14 days, eyeing me from afar, suspicious, as it seemed to 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.”

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. 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. Seduction and temptation permeates Lune Féline Eau de Parfum, like a magnetic star or an elaborate symphony, it captures everyone’s attention through its mysterious and entrancing trail. 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!

Lune Féline from Atelier des Ors proves that some part of the legend was true. The sweet smell of vanilla, cardamom, styrax and musk can attract not only four-legged creatures, but women and men alike. 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. Disclaimer: Lune Feline provided by Atelier des Ors. Much appreciated, and right at home in my growing, curatorial vanilla collection. Thank you. But "Lune Féline" doesn't contain any valerian or anything else that affects my neighbour's cat, which I chose as a test object.

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! In certain medieval books, the panther is shown as a wonderfully beautiful beast. The gentle beast sleeps for three days after feasting, only to wake up with a loud roar, and while it is roaring a sweet smell comes out of its mouth. Any animal (except the dragon) that hears the roar follows the sweet smell to reach the panther. Only the dragon stays away, hiding in a hole because it is afraid of the panther. Then the panther chooses its prey, and the cycle repeats. Sillage: It's a bit hard for me to rate this still, even after 2 days of full-wears, but I believe the EDP is a 6 - it will be noticeable for 3-4 hours at arm's length; the extrait is likely to get at least 6 hours at arm's length, I'd give it an 8.

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. The game in turn is played with a lot of perseverance. "Lune Féline" holds easily 12 hours on my skin.
