Moonlight Samurai d'AnnamHow it wears
From community votes · bars are each option's shareComposition & Character
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by d'Annam, Moonlight Samurai is a Leather fragrance for men crafted by perfumer Anh Ngo. The composition opens with an aromatic and smoky accord, hinting at the depth to come. As it develops, notes of sake add an unexpected element of warmth and complexity, blending seamlessly into the woody and leather heart. This interplay creates a sense of mystery and sophistication, reminiscent of a samurai under the moonlight — both fierce and contemplative.
Apply this fragrance sparingly; it blooms slowly over time. The smoky top notes are fleeting but powerful, so a light spritz is best to let the rich leather and woody base take center stage later in the day.
