The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009 by Memo Paris, Moon Safari is a Woody Aromatic fragrance crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet. It opens with the brightness of grapefruit and Amalfi lemon, leading into an aromatic heart of sage and neroli that brings a fresh herbal quality to the composition. The base notes of leather and tonka bean add warmth and depth, creating a scent that is both crisp and enveloping.

How to wear it

Apply Moon Safari to your pulse points in light layers. The bright top notes are most noticeable within the first hour, so a few sprays will ensure they linger. As it settles into its warm base notes, it reads best close to skin rather than filling a room.
