Frederic Malle The Moon ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 31 July 2019 3 Comments

French niche line Frédéric Malle has launched The Moon, a new fragrance in the Desert Gems collection (see The Night, Promise, Dawn).

Queen of the night.

The moon speaks to lovers everywhere: their poetry and dreams forever move to her rhythm like the tide, loyal to her mystery. Oud commands a sea of patchouli and sandalwood, bound by amber and tinted by a setting sun of violet, rose and raspberry.

Moonlit confessions.

The Moon was developed by perfumer Julien Rasquinet. Additional notes include frankincense.

Frédéric Malle The Moon is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    I find calligraphy on bottles so beautiful

      I don’t know why I don’t love this look…I think it would be gorgeous if it were just the red calligraphy on an opaque black bottle. On the 50 ml here, it looks too crowded? The 100 ml for this series is much more appealing to me:

      Ok, that’s all the nit picking I have for this fragrance which I will never smell, much less buy 😉

        I agree on the design.

        Raspberry and oud is a combo I really don’t like.
