Description Penhaligon’s Luna is a bright, moonlit citrus musk — bitter orange and lemon poured over hushed ambergris and balsam fir, with rose and jasmine drifting through the heart like clouds crossing a night sky. Launched in 2016 and named for the Roman goddess of the moon, Luna sits apart from Penhaligon’s more theatrical Portraits and Trade Routes lines — it is one of the house’s quieter, more universal offerings, built for everyday wear rather than occasion-dressing. The composition opens sharp and citrus-forward with lemon, bergamot and bitter orange, softens through a heart of rose, juniper berries and jasmine, and settles into a warm, skin-close base of musk, balsam fir and ambergris. The effect is fresh rather than sweet, and cleaner than most citrus florals — closer to cold moonlight than warm sunshine. Scent Character Fresh — 44% Floral — 22% Woody — 17% Sweet — 17% Translation: a citrus-led fresh floral, weighted more toward sparkling lemon and bergamot than toward heavy blossom — with just enough musky wood underneath to keep it from smelling thin. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Lemon, Bergamot, Bitter Orange Heart: Rose, Juniper Berries, Jasmine Base: Musk, Balsam Fir, Ambergris Performance Longevity: Moderate — expect roughly 4–6 hours on skin, typical for an Eau de Toilette in this citrus-fresh style. Sillage: Light to moderate. Luna sits close to the skin rather than filling a room. Projection: Noticeable for the first hour, then an easy, clean skin scent — this is a refresh-as-needed fragrance rather than a one-spray-lasts-all-day one. Best Occasions & Season Built for Spring and Summer, and equally at home at the office or on a warm evening. Its bright citrus-musk profile makes it a reliable Everyday and Leisure wear. Gender: Unisex.
