Lunanera

The quiet intimacy of a well-lit study, where the warm glow of a desk lamp casts shadows on shelves lined with books, and the scent of vanilla and earthy mosses mingles in the air.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Lunanera, launched in 2017 by Tiziana Terenzi and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that balances the sweet warmth of vanilla with earthy mosses and powdery woods. The composition opens with a fresh burst of fig leaf and lemon, giving way to the rich floral notes of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and Bulgarian rose. At its core lies iris and tonka bean, adding depth and complexity before settling into an amber and vanilla base that exudes comfort and warmth.

How to wear it

Apply Lunanera sparingly to avoid overwhelming its delicate balance between sweetness and earthiness. The amber and vanilla base notes develop slowly over time, so one or two sprays is sufficient for a nuanced experience throughout the day.
