Luna Parfum vs China Affair Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Luna starts a bit wonky, but give it time to macerate and it transforms. What begins as a potent patchouli blast settles into a fantastic, unusual caramelised citrus and woody floral. Highly recommended for those who love a journey in their scent.
China Affair is inspired by Chanel's Les Exclusifs Coromandel, an earthy-woody patchouli with a white chocolate twist. It keeps the bitter orange opening and patchouli-white chocolate core, but reads thinner and less resinous than Chanel's dense, long-lasting original.
