Kintsugi Luna was launched in 2021 and it is one of those fragrances we fell in love with immediately. Created by Martin Svach, it has notes of cotton candy, clove, orange blossom, violet, ambergris, tonka, amber, oakmoss and vetiver. Kintsugi Luna is an EDP, eau de parfum.
From the brand - "A wise man who can find pleasure in all the little things. An old soul that can rejoice as a small child. Constant cheerfulness that has real depth. What would it be like to feel that way for at least a day? A cloud of cotton candy floats with notes of orange blossom anchored by clove. In the heart, tonka lies side by side with violet and amber on a delicate oakmoss with vetiver and amber."
Fragrantica - "I love love LOVE sweet & spicy fragrances, so of course I instantly fell for this one. It's sweet, but not aggressively heavily sweet. There's just a touch of caramel/cotton candy sugar that brings the more ambery and spicy notes together. To me, it smells like some kind of fancy Indian dessert, or sweet saffron milk tea."
Fragrantica - "I fell in love with Luna at first try. The cotton candy note here isn’t unbearably sweet, headache-inducing, or the kind of sweetness that fills the whole room. It’s sweet, but it has attitude. It’s cheeky, sexy, and innocent all at once.
It’s exactly the kind of fragrance I’d wear on an evening date that turns into wandering through the city at night. With a guy who’s a bit trouble, someone who makes me feel rebellious while still letting me keep my girly side. Luna has exactly that specific kind of combination."
Fragrantica - "I feel like this is the first perfume that has genuinely stopped me in my tracks. Even after smelling a whole store full of fragrances, this is the one I kept going back to and ended up buying. It’s sweet, but not sickeningly so. It’s a bit musky and floral with the dry down, but the scent of cotton candy is still prominent. Overall it’s a very yummy fragrance without being too heavy or nauseating, I love it!"
Fragrantica - "cotton candy spun not from sugar but from the fabric of my mom mom’s quilts. fabric that’s been laid on for a lifetime, a slight musk but innocent, joyful, playful, gossiping with aunt Ginny and clearing a pack of parliaments"
Fragrantica - "I recently tested this in a store in Prague and spent the rest of the day regretting not purchasing it on the spot! Luna has a joyous and delightful cotton candy accord rendered more mature by the addition of cloves and earthy base notes. It lasted for hours on my skin from one spray (the testers of this one are almost always nearly empty in Prague!), and I agree with many others here that this shares very little in common (thankfully) with BR540. Luna is its own beautiful, sweet charming self with a little bit of an edge: like Strawberry Shortcake (the character) smoking clove cigarettes "
Fragrantica - "Luna is like a fairytale spun from moonlight and magic. It opens with a soft, sugary puff of cotton candy that feels light as a whisper, then dances into the woods with earthy oakmoss grounding its sweet, airy charm. It’s playful but grown-up, like catching fireflies in a silk dress."
