Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle - The Moon

Celestial romance. The moon plays a leading role in conducting the rhythm of life in the Middle East, her ethereal appearance hailing the beginning and end of all festivity. Yet in Arabic, invoking the moon is also an allusion to romance — ‘my moon’; an adoringly grandiose term for one’s beloved that speaks of beauty and eternal devotion . Exuding a warm, opulent quality, rose, oud and frankincense meet a surprising abundance of ripe red berries. In the subtle evocation of the fruit-flavored shisha enjoyed across the region, the profusion of redcurrant and raspberry notes adds sweetness and color. A potent new moon.
