Orange, jasmine, soft rose and fir
Penhaligon's Luna is an Eau de Toilette from the British Tales collection, created by Aliénor Massenet in 2016 and listed for women. The brand imagines the bath of the Moon Goddess, soothing as well as seductive. Orange, bergamot, a jasmine accord, rose and fir balsam are the five notes, given without an order. Soft, light scents are easy to misjudge, so wear a sample first.

How it unfolds
-
Orange and bergamot
Orange and bergamot are the sunlit side of the list: juicy, slightly bitter and clean. They lift the flowers and keep them light. Since the brand gives the five notes without an order, it is more useful to think of one soft blend than of stages.
-
Jasmine accord and rose
A jasmine accord and rose make up the floral part. The brand calls the rose soft, and the jasmine is a built impression of the flower, so the effect is smooth and rounded: a gentle bouquet of two classic flowers, without sharp edges.
-
Fir balsam
Fir balsam adds a cool, resinous, evergreen note that works like clean air beside the flowers. It gives the scent some depth and a slightly woody, calming edge, which suits the idea of relaxing, and keeps it from becoming merely sweet.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Wear the sample on a spring or summer day and again on a calm evening. As an Eau de Toilette it is light, so apply it freely to clean skin and see how the orange and fir balsam behave over the day. Notice whether the mood feels soothing to you, as the brand intends.
Who it is for
A sample suits people who like orange and jasmine in a calm setting, with soft rose and a green, resinous finish instead of a sugary one. The brand lists it for women. If you want a dense, heavy scent with strong presence, an Eau de Parfum is the better direction.
Why try Penhaligon's Luna as a sample first
With five notes in no stated order, a page can only sketch Luna, and a light Eau de Toilette is exactly the kind of scent that changes with the skin. A 10 ml decant lets you see how the fir balsam sits against the flowers on you before you choose the 100 ml bottle.

Frequently asked
What is in the vial?
A 10 ml decant of Penhaligon's Luna Eau de Toilette in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample and Penhaligon's is not involved.
Is Luna floral?
Partly. A jasmine accord and rose give the floral side, but orange, bergamot and fir balsam stop it from being a plain bouquet. A sample shows which side leads on you.
Which concentration is it?
Eau de Toilette, the same as the 100 ml bottle the sample is filled from. It is lighter than an Eau de Parfum and easy to wear in warm weather.
What does soothing mean in a perfume?
The brand calls Luna soothing as well as seductive. In practice it points to bright citrus, soft flowers and a cool, evergreen finish rather than heavy sweetness, and a sample shows how that feels.
The brand
About Penhaligon's
Penhaligon's has 'British Perfumers, Established 1870' in its header and a royal warrant crest in its logo, and it sorts its perfumes like a library: Portraits with their figurine-topped bottles, Trade Routes, British Tales. The house itself shows only three key notes per fragrance, so descriptions stay brief and characters do the talking. Whether Lord George or Halfeti suits you is a question for your skin, and a 10 ml decant answers it.
- Founded in London by the Cornish-born barber William Henry Penhaligon
- The brand's own header says 'British Perfumers, Established 1870'
- Collections include Portraits, Trade Routes and British Tales

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
