Medium moonlight night
Uncomment fragrances No. 165
If one writes after many months (moons) once again a review and in addition still to a Caron fragrance that has not yet been reviewed here and spread, then it may be that some readers expect a great fragrance. That is not the case here. So much in advance.
The fragrance also does not do justice to the perhaps most famous German poem from the Romantic era (by Eichendorff) mentioned in the title (if you don't know Mondnacht, read it as soon as possible: the expectations associated with it are thoroughly missed).
Also that the few ratings fluctuate between 6.0 and 9.0, is not surprising: the fragrance has something and at the same time not - and that is easily explained by the ozonic notes, which are strongly in the foreground. Also, the guaiac wood (somewhat artificial, as it usually is), doesn't just show up in the base, but very early on in the middle section, and when you add the two together, you're right where most drugstore scents have their inner middle: at a somewhat sterile, ozonic fresh, artificially woody scent that you could also get cheaper. In itself, however, this seems quite appropriate to me, because this Caron fragrance was developed in these surprisingly changeable times by perhaps the second most important traditional brand in France (to be ranked behind Guerlain, of course, in any case) for a French drugstore and perfumery chain and therefore never really landed in the broad market, let alone in Germany. Listen and be amazed. So what it under Ernest Daltroff, the grand seigneur of Caron, also did not give.
Much more would not be to say about this fragrance actually at all, were there not a nostalgic touch that reminds me of some obscure 70s fragrance and if more concrete associations with me to it, I will note them here under P.S.. By the way, it is this touch that somehow makes the fragrance seem very pleasant to me. For the time being, I would helpfully locate it where the first quite inexpensive sea breeze fragrances can be found, namely around Bleu Marine by Pierre Cardin (see there). The numerous notes colorfully listed with Bleu Marine are of course nonsense, instead probably only describe what one wanted to talk the buyer into olfactorily. Bleu Marine was and is also a more or less synthetic fragrance. At least Caron is more honest with its fresh night
