About LVNEA
LVNEA is a Canadian fragrance house based in Montreal, founded by perfumer April Lea. The brand name comes from the Latin word for “moon,” and its identity is steeped in mysticism, nature, and ritual.
LVNEA is best known for its natural, small-batch perfumes—crafted primarily with botanicals, resins, and essential oils rather than synthetic aromachemicals. Their scents often explore the intersection of the natural world and the arcane, evoking forests, smoke, minerals, and atmospheric moods rather than conventional “perfume structures.”
The line includes perfume oils, eau de parfums, and atmospheric mists, as well as body and home rituals like incense and bath soaks. Each creation tends to feel moody, sensual, and transportive, appealing to fragrance lovers who seek something artisanal, evocative, and slightly witchy.
April Lea is a Canadian-based perfumer and founder of the artisan fragrance house Lvnea. Her work celebrates dark, complex, unisex scents crafted exclusively from natural materials and plant essences, drawing deeply on ancient perfumery techniques, folklore, and natural history. Raised in Philadelphia and now operating out of Montréal, April Lea blends earthy ritual and botanical fascination in small-batch liquid and solid perfumes that offer a lush, narrative-rich take on scent. 
As a creator she thrives in the liminal space between nature and craft, inviting wearers into immersive, story-driven olfactive experiences.

Comparisons
Similar to Diptyque Philosykos: Both convey a fresh, green woodland aura, though Ghost Pine is more resinous and earth-forward.
