Luna Moon Ramon Molvizar for women and men

Ramon Molvizar LUNA/MOON is a very woody fragrance, so much so that it reminds me of a pile of just-sawed redwood. Very natural smelling, but super woody and slightly more masculine as a result. The cardamom is quite light, as are the other notes. Upon application, I smell redwood, redwood, and more redwood!

The silver flecks (apparently white gold!) floating about actually seem a bit out of place in this stern, spare composition. When I think of bling, I definitely do not think of redwood! I'd say that a fragrance of this nature would be better housed in a Pyrex erlenmeyer flask. The name, too, doesn't make a lot of sense to me. This is neither a romantic fragrance nor one that is likely to induce lunacy. Why moon?

Setting aside these quibbles, LUNA/MOON is certainly wearable. The cardamom and musk come through to tame the redwood in the drydown, but the base is not substantial enough to sustain the scent, so the longevity is somewhat disappointing.

The package is beautiful, the fragrance has white gold floating on the juice, and the combination seems very expensive. In fact, seems so expensive that you wonder if they spend almost all the budget of the project on it. Romaon Molvizar Luna has a pleasant aroma, but merely pleasant, nothing so original or that matches it's exclusive price, bottle and gold inside of it. The fragrance is a light, cottony musk, a little bit linear, but with a good longevity and sillage on skin. The musk smells creamy, white, airy and it's matched by something slightly citrusy at first, which develops to a pleasant milk-spice confection. My advice here is to test it first and to make sure that if you don't have something better to spend almost 200 dollars, cause my opinion is that buying luna may be a regretful choice in the future, considering how little it has to offer in terms of fragrance. Unless you are rich, collect bottles and don't care to pay more to the presentantion than to the content inside of it.

Rich and wet, this fragrance has a lot in common with Hermes Un Jardin sur le Nil. I find it slightly more masuline than feminine, but I feel the same way about Nil & love it to death, so no problem there...this is unique and beautiful!

Simply put, Luna Moon blends into a gorgeous mixture of damp, royal woods...it speaks of intensity and wealth. The basil stays strong throughout and adds a freshness that prevents it from being too heavy. I think this would be too cloying in summer, but could possibly work in the spring. Best during fall and winter!

What a scent...in some ways it reminds me of the more masculine scents from the Kilian line in its richness. I would love to own this bottle!

PS...according to the Ramon Molvizar site, this is intended for men.
