‘Amidst the endless blue skies and bright green waters of Sardinia, there is a place that enchants every single person that sets foot there. It is the Emerald Coast, a stretch of land that has been sculpted by the wind and sea, where wild nature intertwines with timeless elegance. This unique scenario is where the Mediterranean’s allure is evident in its purest form. It is the enigmatic gaze of the Red Moon, the magical moon that fills the sky with scarlet hues each month, that offered Paolo and Tiziana the inspiration to create a new pearl for their Luna Special collection: Smeralda. The Red Moon, a symbol of mystery and power, guiding dreams and spells, just like waves guide the sea. While spending a summer’s evening on a hidden beach of the Emerald Coast, brother and sister were enraptured by a sunset that could have been sculpted by the universe. The water glinted with emerald hues, dancing to the rhythm of the waves, while the air was filled with the enveloping scent of the Mediterranean scrub. At nightfall, as the moon turned red and the place vibrated with a unique magic, the idea of transforming that very landscape into a fragrance that could contain the eternal essence of this coast and its timeless beauty took shape. Smeralda opens with a sparkling freshness that conjures up the first breath of sea air. Myrtle of Sardinia and Mandarin from Sardinia blend with the lively Sicilian Pink Grapefruit, while Chilean Black Pepper and Ginger add a sparkling, spicy touch. A hint of Mint from the Emerald Coast recalls the regenerative breeze that caresses the cliffs. The heart of the fragrance uncovers an unexpected sophistication. Bulgarian Rose and Virginia Tobacco combine with the woody warmth of Australian Sandalwood and Cuban Cedarwood. Notes of Cinnamon from Ceylon lend a welcoming sensuality, while Iris from Sardinia provides a dusty daintiness, like the golden hue of a Mediterranean sunset. Lastly, the base notes are immersed in the depths of primordial nature. Tuscan Leather and Madagascar Vanilla Bourbon blend with Haiti Vetiver and Musk, while Incense from Oman and Italian Labdanum close the fragrance with an enveloping, persistent trail, reminiscent of a memory of a night under the Red Moon. Let Smeralda take you on a journey without borders, where the breath of the Mediterranean encounters the mysterious cosmos, and each note tells the story of light, magic and endless beauty.’ – Terenzi
