Clair de Lune
Fragrance notes
Character
Clair de Lune opens with a sharp cinnamon bark paired with a bright mandarin orange that gives the first minutes a crisp, citrus-spiced lift. The mandarin keeps the cinnamon from feeling heavy right away, letting the spice sit clearly on the skin before the floral heart takes over. Rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and orange blossom arrive together, creating a dense, slightly powdery floral layer that feels traditional rather than modern. The flowers are rich and steady, with the orange blossom adding a faint creamy edge to the petals.
The base brings honey, sandalwood, benzoin, vanilla, and the remaining florals into a warm, sweet finish. Honey and vanilla lead the sweetness, while sandalwood and benzoin add a smooth, resinous wood that grounds the sugar. The scent stays present through a full day of wear and reaches outward enough that people nearby notice it without any effort from the wearer. It suits cooler weather and evening plans, where the warm spices and amber feel natural against the air.
Clair de Lune is a straightforward oriental floral that favors warmth over freshness. The cinnamon and honey give it a golden, slightly sticky character, while the sandalwood prevents the vanilla from dominating completely. It is rich, a little old-fashioned, and unapologetically sweet from start to finish. The overall impression is a jar of orange blossom honey set beside a carved sandalwood box.
