How the dragonfly came to the moon
A light-hearted mix of citrus fruits, neroli and vetiver... this is Moon Leather. But that was also Moon Fever from the same house. What distinguishes Moon Leather, and whether it is worth paying twice as much for him as for his little brother, I would like to investigate.
The series "Escales Extraordinaires" is the gold line of the house. Extremely expensive, extremely chic. Golden flacons in real leather cases... wow. But the juice? Actually only mashups of older fragrances with either an additional note or just a new fragrance balance. Moon Leather has exactly the same notes as Moon Fever. Only the leather is more heavily dosed. Memo calls this an "enveloping leather chord".
Moon Fever from 2009 is a fragrance that is relatively unpopular. Maybe because the name is stupid. Maybe because the story is stupid... Animals populate the moon and long for the stars... Well, yeah. For me, Moon Fever is a solid fragrance that always works. A perfumer asked: "Why so badly rated? Ask the man in the moon." :-)
But this is about Moon Leather now. The fragrance was released in 2014 and looks to me like a more mature, balanced version of Moon Fever. The leather note, which many at Moon Fever were looking for with a magnifying glass, can finally be heard here. While the neroli oil in Moon Fever was almost too fresh, almost pungent soapy, it is steamed here by velvety soft suede. Madame Massenet did a good job here, I think.
The leather is not creaky-strength, but pure and velvety. This leather fragrance could also please non-leather fans. Similar to Cuirs Beluga (only related to the leather note - the scents are fundamentally different in themselves). Vetiver and tonka bean make the leather here earthy and sweet.... the base is warm creamy but not overwhelming. Even during sports I still found the scent pleasant.
Does the story make sense now? No comment. Is the scent great? Yes. And he's better than his cheaper fellow. If you liked Moon Fever and are looking for an upgrade, you've come to the right place. But maybe those who found Moon Fever too arbitrary. I am grateful that thanks to a Parfuma and Essenca Nobile I was finally able to compare samples of both fragrances. Now I'm starting to save up for Moon Leather. Moon price. Moon quality. Moon leather.
Oh, what happened to the dragonfly again? Why do you see these next to crescents on the bottle? About 700 of the more than 5000 dragonfly species live in Africa. Since Moon Fever used to be called Moon Safari, the dragonflies could stand for the journey to the moon, because a safari is literally a journey. Dragonflies reach 50 km/h top speed - with a wingspan of 10 cm. In relative terms twice as fast as an F-15 Hornet. If an animal could make it to the moon, then the dragonfly ;)
