By the editors · 2 min readLua opens as a summer garden in one breath: melon and bergamot provide a sweet, slightly watery brightness, with orange adding solar depth. There's a generosity to the opening — Xerjoff's house aesthetic doing much of the lifting before the heart arrives.
Pink pepper introduces a touch of heat to Bulgarian rose in the middle, which prevents what could otherwise be an overly conventional floral. Lily of the valley adds a green, dewy contrast, and iris keeps the rose from reading as purely feminine.
Vanilla and patchouli bring the expected warmth to the base — predictable territory for this style, but executed cleanly. Lua is a well-balanced luxury fruity-floral: neither original nor cheap, which is sometimes exactly what's needed.
