Our take

Lunar Bud carries an animalic edge that some will find distracting. It sits close to the skin in a way that feels unpolished, and the blend does not always smooth out the sharper corners of its composition. This is not a refined or quiet floral. The jasmine and tuberose are loud and slightly indolic, and the black currant adds a tart, dark fruitiness that clashes with the brighter citrus notes. Lemon and mandarin orange provide a sharp lift, but they do not fully balance the heavier white flowers.

The sandalwood and amber give the fragrance a warm, resinous body that grounds the fruit and petals. It feels dense rather than airy, with a woody depth that keeps the scent from floating away. The floral accords dominate the experience, but the woody and amber elements ensure it does not smell like a simple bouquet. It is a mix that demands attention, leaning into a bold, slightly messy personality that wears its intensity without apology.

This is a scent for bright, active days when the air feels warm and the light is strong. It suits someone who enjoys a powerful white floral with a fruity, animalic twist and does not mind a composition that feels a bit raw. Those who prefer clean, soft, or minimalist perfumes will likely find it overwhelming.
