Fragrance Notes

Top Notes: Mandarin
Heart Notes: Balkan Juniper Berry
Base Notes: Haitian Vetiver

Scent Experience

The Moon Shadow opens with the vibrant brightness of Mandarin, creating a fresh, luminous, and uplifting first impression. Its citrus character brings a sense of clarity to the composition, like pale light breaking through a grey sky, introducing the fragrance with freshness while leaving space for its deeper and more contemplative personality to emerge.

As the fragrance evolves, Balkan Juniper Berry moves into the heart with an aromatic, crisp, and subtly botanical character. It adds texture to the Mandarin opening and creates a cooler, more atmospheric dimension that beautifully reflects the fragrance's inspiration in rainy London winters and moments of solitude far from home.

The base settles into Haitian Vetiver, bringing earthy, woody depth and a grounding sense of refinement. Its natural character anchors the brighter opening and aromatic heart, creating a sophisticated dry-down that feels calm, confident, and quietly powerful. Citrus-bright, aromatic-crisp, earthy-woody, contemplative, and elegantly grounded.

Why You Will Love It

The Moon Shadow captures more than a combination of citrus, aromatics, and woods. Its inspiration comes from the emotional experience of following an unfamiliar path away from home, living through rainy London winters while pursuing personal dreams and goals. That sense of solitude, determination, and reassurance gives the fragrance a distinctive emotional identity.

Mandarin creates a vibrant opening that brings light and freshness to the composition, while Balkan Juniper Berry introduces an aromatic character with a crisp, atmospheric edge. Haitian Vetiver completes the journey with earthy sophistication, grounding the fragrance in a smooth woody depth that feels mature without becoming heavy.

Meticulously curated by Jean-Louis Sieuzac, The Moon Shadow carries a 20% oil concentration and is made using globally sourced ingredients, with its maceration and manufacturing process completed in Italy. The result is a fragrance built around contrast: brightness and shadow, distance and connection, freshness and earthy warmth.

For fragrance lovers in the USA who appreciate scents with both refined composition and personal storytelling, The Moon Shadow offers a distinctive signature. It is a fragrance for unfamiliar journeys, quiet ambition, and the reassuring feeling that even when the path ahead is uncertain, you are never truly alone.
