To understand this perfume you need to ponder on the nature of moonlight and the fact that it is only sunlight reflected off the lifeless satellite.

The perfume feels even more tender, a bit like the Moon’s reflection in a pond. The formula is a uniform gentle flow of cool spices, splashes of freesia, mimosa and iris interlaced with oakmoss and musk. It stays close to skin as if designed to be a secret known only by the wearer.

The bottle deserves a separate mention, it's heavy crystal with exactly 57 facets, the same number you have in the classic diamond cut, the perfect number to capture light inside the crystal and to make it pulse within. 

You can actually spin the bottle (the base has been cut in a special way) to admire the play of light inside the moonstone coloured tincture.

Bertrand Duchaufour

Bertrand began his perfumer career in Grasse in 1985. He learned from the senior Master Perfumers at Florasynth and Symrise and shaped during all these years his own approach to Perfumery.

“I had acquired a very specific approach to perfumery, which is that of all the perfumers in the big labs. By becoming independent, by working in my own lab, directly on my formulas, by weighing them, I’ve developed a different approach to perfumery, another way of building my perfumes. My control over raw materials is getting better and better”. - Bertrand Duchaufour.
