π FRΓDΓRIC MALLE THE MOON β ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY DESERT GEMS π
π₯ Dark. Fruity. Smoky. Opulent. Unmistakable.
The Moon by FrΓ©dΓ©ric Malle is an intensely luxurious Eau de Parfum created by master perfumer Julien Rasquinet β an extraordinary collision of succulent dark fruits, magnificent rose, incense and oud.
Part of FrΓ©dΓ©ric Malle's prestigious Desert Gems Collection, The Moon was created as a tribute to Middle Eastern perfumery. πποΈ
This isn't your typical fruity oud.
It is enormous in character, incredibly rich and instantly recognisable. π

πβ¨ THE EXPERIENCE
The Moon begins with an explosion of beautifully tart, juicy dark fruit.
π« Blackberry
π΄ Redcurrant
πΉ Rose
The fruitiness is vivid and almost addictive β but underneath it sits something much darker.
As The Moon develops, the fragrance moves into a magnificent combination of rose, incense and oud, creating the contrast that makes it so distinctive.
πΉ Lush florals meetβ¦
πͺ΅ Deep oud
π₯ Smoky incense
π« Dark berries
π Warm amber-like depth
The result feels simultaneously fruity, smoky, woody, mysterious and incredibly luxurious.

π§ CREATED BY JULIEN RASQUINET
The Moon was composed by renowned perfumer Julien Rasquinet.
Rasquinet was a disciple of legendary perfumer Pierre Bourdon, developing his craft under one of modern perfumery's most influential noses.
For The Moon, Rasquinet was given the freedom to create something exceptionally lavish as part of FrΓ©dΓ©ric Malle's Desert Gems collection.
The result arrived in 2019. π
A composition where the brightness of fruit collides with the darkness and richness of traditional Middle Eastern-inspired materials.

π« THE FRUITY OPENING
π« Blackberry
π΄ Redcurrant
The signature of The Moon.
Dark, tart and intensely juicy berries immediately separate this fragrance from more traditional rose-and-oud compositions.
The fruit doesn't simply sit above the darker materials β it becomes intertwined with them.

πΉ THE FLORAL HEART
πΉ Rose
A rich rose accord provides the bridge between the vivid fruit and the much darker foundation underneath.
Rather than turning The Moon into a conventional floral fragrance, the rose contributes richness and unmistakable Middle Eastern character.

π THE DARK FOUNDATION
πͺ΅ Oud
π₯ Incense
Here lies the darkness.
The oud introduces tremendous woody depth while incense brings a smoky, almost mysterious quality.
As the bright fruit begins settling, this darker foundation becomes increasingly prominent β leaving an opulent and unmistakable scent trail.

ππ₯ PERFORMANCE
π₯ Projection: Very powerful
πͺοΈ Sillage: Heavy / commanding
β³ Longevity: Exceptional
π§ Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Don't let the words Eau de Parfum fool you.
The Moon belongs to the considerably richer and more intense side of modern niche perfumery.
Its combination of oud, incense, rose and dense fruit accords gives it enormous olfactory presence.
π₯ THIS IS NOT A SHY FRAGRANCE.
Application should be considered accordingly β particularly indoors or in enclosed environments.
As always, exact performance varies according to skin chemistry, temperature, clothing and application.
