The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, Lunar Lover by Carolina Herrera is a gourmand floral that captures the essence of an enchanting night under the moonlight. Perfumer Julien Rasquinet crafted this scent with mesmerizing notes of red hibiscus at its heart. The top note of red tea awakens the senses with a burst of freshness, while cedarwood provides a warm and woody base. This limited-edition perfume is not just a fragrance but an experience, symbolized by the playful dragon charm atop its iconic Herrera red and pink bottle.
Apply two sprays to ensure the red tea top note awakens your senses and gives way to the heart and base notes. The scent has moderate longevity and sillage, making it perfect for a night out where you want a subtle yet memorable presence.
