HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
The Moon by Frederic Malle, crafted by Julien Rasquinet and launched in 2019, is a fragrance that defies traditional boundaries. It opens with an explosion of fruity notes — raspberry, litchi, blackberry, and strawberry — creating a vibrant and lively top layer. As the scent settles, it reveals a rich heart of Turkish rose and violet, underscored by saffron's warm spice. The base, dominated by oud, leather, amber, and sandalwood, grounds the composition with its deep and earthy warmth. This interplay between brightness and depth makes The Moon both familiar and mysterious.
Apply The Moon in layers for best effect — start with a light spritz to let the fruity top notes shine through before they give way to the deeper base. It blooms slowly over time, so it’s perfect for evening wear when you want a scent that evolves as the night progresses.
