Note Breakdown
Encyclopedia Insights
What changed in the 2023 reformulation?+
The 2023 version uses a higher quality oud and smoother leather, making the fragrance less harsh while retaining its signature character.
Is The Moon suitable for daytime wear?+
It's quite intense, so I'd recommend it for evenings or cooler weather. A light spray can work for a bold daytime statement.
How does The Moon compare to The Night?+
The Moon is brighter and fruitier with raspberry, while The Night is darker and more animalic. Both are powerful, but The Moon is slightly more approachable.
