Frosted Moon Lune de Givre Cloon Keen Atelier 2013
2
The Irish iris
Naïve as I am, I thought this was one of those tiny artisans. I figured they would be charmingly rural, get their materials from the backyard and distill them in the garage. I mean, can you name one commercially successful Irish perfume brand? I could not until today. It turns out Cloon Keen actually operates amongst the big guys of the industry and even raked in a few TFF awards. There ya go!
Frosted Moon is one of their older releases and their most popular one on this platform. I kind of randomly picked it, simply out of curiosity. I may be naïve, I do like to explore and take a gamble once in a while.
This scent profile is close to the greener type of iris - think Infusion d'Iris (2007) Eau de Parfum, N°19 Poudré or the less known Éclat de Joie . Airy, translucent and with a sparkling silver hue. Only in this case most greens are replaced with angelica dust. As a result this has a dry slight woody feel to it, while remaining as airy and translucent as you would expect from an iris-centered fragrance. The base consists of a familiar but well-suited fresh musk-vetiver blend.
At first Frosted Moon did not really impress. The green-iris theme is a bit common, but the angelica twist to it convinced me after all. I am going to keep this 10 ml decant and pretty sure I will finish it. Think it will work lovely in both office settings and as casual wear.
