Pleine Lune
Fragrance notes
Character
Pleine Lune opens with a brisk, almost brittle greenness, matcha and mate dusted with pink pepper and bergamot. This is not a sweet citrus, it is a sharp, aromatic tea leaf that snaps under your nose before softening into a floral heart that feels dewy and diffuse. Tuberose and jasmine are present but never pushy, held in check by neroli’s bitter seam and orange blossom’s clean linen quality. The base of sandalwood, benzoin, and tonka bean wraps everything in a soft, slightly powdery glow, cedar adding a pencil-shaving dryness that keeps the composition from tipping into gourmand territory.
The overall character is a pale, watery moonlight spilling over a garden at dawn, where the flowers are still half asleep and the air smells of damp earth and crushed green stems. It feels natural and vaguely nostalgic, like a niche take on a classic white floral that refuses to shout. But here is the honest weakness: longevity clocks in under three hours on average, and sillage barely brushes your own collar. This is a whisper, not a conversation. It suits someone who wants a fleeting moment of elegance, a clean daytime scent for a spring brunch or a breezy afternoon at the office. Skip it if you need your fragrance to last through dinner or announce your arrival from across the room. Wear it when you want to smell like a memory, not a statement.
