About This Perfume

Moresque Oroluna comes across as smoky rosewood incense with cardamom spice. It opens with cardamom, pink pepper and grapefruit, moves into Turkish rose, cedarwood and patchouli and settles on frankincense, labdanum and oakmoss. It reads unisex.

This fragrance is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for nights out. Released in 2016.

In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something woody and smoky for nights out.
  • Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
  • Skip if: you dislike smoky fragrances.

Around $119.
