The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by By Kilian, Moonlight in Heaven is a Floral Fruity fragrance created by renowned perfumer Calice Becker. This composition centers around a tropical coconut-mango-tuberose-rice accord that creates a distinctive balance of sweet and fruity notes with subtle woody undertones. While some enthusiasts praise its balanced character, others describe it as more like 'coconut hairspray,' questioning its niche signature. The fragrance opens with zesty grapefruit and lemon, followed by pink pepper and green notes that add an aromatic freshness. As the scent develops, peaches and mangoes blend seamlessly with clove and orris, leading to a warm base of tonka bean, vanilla, vetiver, and musk.
Apply Moonlight in Heaven sparingly — its top notes are bright and can overwhelm if overused. The coconut and mango elements will bloom quickly, while the base notes settle in for a lasting warmth. Best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh yet comforting scent.
