Luna Valentia by Natura

I’m surprised so few people talk about this one. I’m not a floral perfume person; I lean more toward floral and gourmand scents, but this one resonates with me as a delicious strawberry aroma. Of course, it reminds me of La Vie Est Belle, but with a noticeable strawberry note to my nose; just to clarify, every nose and pH is a different world.

Luna Attitude (Courage) is a proper fruity chypre: a raspberry opening with a milky, praline-like sweetness. It certainly brings to mind the classic LVEB; the raspberry is sweeter than tart, and the sensation is fruity, not jammy (unlike Si by Armani). However, in its dry-down, it cedes the spotlight to something more floral and less sweet, evolving into a distinct chypre accord with damp moss and patchouli (in the style of Mugler). It no longer resembles the iconic Lancôme, but rather the earthy style of Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. It’s the chypre complex of Luna Radiante or Luna Rose. It’s a journey between beautiful fragrances, making it a mutable, versatile, and sophisticated perfume. Moderate longevity, noticeable sillage a couple of hours after personal wear; total fixation between six and seven hours. In terms of intensity, it falls below Luna Absoluta and Intensa. Who will like it: lovers of fruity scents.

I stayed at a friend’s house for two days; she lent me this perfume, and I was surprised by the sillage it left wherever I went. Wherever I arrived, someone would comment on the smell. It reflects femininity and subtlety; it leaves a scent that attracts attention without overwhelming the environment. I applied it at 8 AM and could still feel it suddenly at 10 PM, as if it were soaked into my clothes. The best part: although others would comment on the scent, I didn’t notice it at all and had to smell my skin to perceive it, being in no way annoying. My friend said I smelled better than her. It depends a lot on your pH. Highly recommended, and I bought it myself right today.

I feel the opening similar to Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming, but they aren’t “similar” perfumes; they share a few points in common. MDAB is a great perfume that ends up aldehydic, with a musky rose aroma slightly sweetened by red fruits. Regarding this Luna, I find it delicious, but it’s not exceptional and doesn’t add anything new to what is already known.

The opening reminds me of Idôle Nectar or La Nuit Tresor EDP; not so much LVEB, but they aren’t two different things either; they just go down that intense line. To say it’s an “LVEB dupe” is absolutely not the case. It lasts 24 hours, and on clothes, it’s hard to get it off completely; on skin, it lasts 8 hours or more. Very happy to have discovered this line of Luna scents by Natuta.

Reminds me of the Likes de Humor, but only in the dry down. It’s not that they’re similar; I tried it and didn’t dislike it, but it doesn’t catch my attention. It feels like a more mass-market white floral, with vibes of other white florals from Natura and low-cost brands. It’s feminine, but not youthful; I think it’s better suited for an adult audience.

In the opening, it reminds me of Lancôme’s La Nuit Trésor; I think I’m smelling the combination of pear and rose, but very quickly it gives way to red fruits and becomes clearly a perfume with its own personality. I like having it, but I won’t be buying it again because its sillage is non-existent. It lasts a maximum of four hours and has a final note at the end that I don’t like much and can’t quite decipher. Edit 2023: The perfume has settled and is now very beautiful. Also much longer-lasting.

It’s very similar to Luna Intense. The most important difference is that Atitude is a sweet floral, while Intense is a sweet fruity. Both share the same DNA. They are delicious.

It’s the Likes de Humor but lighter. In fact, it would have been very coherent for them to release it within the Humor line given how fruity and youthful it feels; I smell pure blackberry and tonka bean, almost no flowers. It also reminds me a bit of Luna Absoluta. Nothing new, I’ll stick with my Likes de Humor.

In Argentina, it’s sold as Luna Atitude, and without a doubt, it’s a twin to Jean Paul Gaultier’s Scandal.

How delicious! It’s a sibling to La Vie Est Belle. The moment I smelled it, it reminded me so much of that perfume I love. Luna Valentía is sweet, intense, and strong—perfect for autumn, winter, night, or going out. It lasts over 12 hours with about 2 hours of projection. If you like La Vie Est Belle but don’t want to spend a fortune, I recommend it. It’s beautiful.

Very rich aroma and very sensual. It depends a lot on your skin’s pH, but it doesn’t smell like a repellent at all like someone mentioned above; the issue is that it has low sillage, but if it’s on promotion, it’s worth buying.

Totally agree: it smells like Luna Absoluta but with more body. It also reminds me of Dior’s Poison Girl, and its longevity is beastly; I wore it in the morning and at 11 PM it was still intact.

I have it in Argentina, here it’s called Luna Atitude. The official notes are Metamorphosis Flower (a Protea with super-sweet nectar), Pripioca, and Patchouli. Upon application, it sounded like Humor Like but more sophisticated, fruity, and with a powdery touch. As it dries, it heads toward LVEB and La Nuit. Over time, I felt it was a collection of Lunes: the sweetness of Absoluta at the start, the florals of Luna Floral in the heart, and the powdery patchouli of Luna Radiante at the end. I love it. It lasts 4 or 5 hours, has moderate sillage, feels elegant yet easy to wear, and very versatile. It’s a modern chypre, fruity at the start, sweet without being cloying, with a floral heart and a dry-down where patchouli, tonka bean, and that subtle powdery note really shine.
