Xerjoff Lua is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Jacques Flori. Lua opens with Bergamot, Orange, and Melon, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Lily Of The Valley, and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Xerjoff's Lua carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Lua is a divisive one. For some, it's a magnificent, clean, and elegant signature scent that's truly unique. For others, it's an old-fashioned, soapy disappointment, too reminiscent of an auntie's perfume. Definitely try before you buy this one.

Its clean, airy, and soft projection makes it suitable for daily wear, including the office, without being overwhelming. While some find it elegant enough for formal events, the "soapy" quality might make it less ideal for a seriously formal occasion. It's a casual winner due to its fresh, unpretentious charm.

About

Opens with a juicy burst of melon and orange backed by zesty bergamot, hinting at an adventurous start. This bright fruity beginning quickly melts into a sophisticated heart of powdery iris, delicate rose, and a touch of peppery spice. The dry down is a clean, musky embrace with subtle vanilla and grounding cedar, making it feel like a soft, satin fabric against the skin. It balances youthful exuberance with quiet elegance.
