Cursed drydown

I was initially jazzed about this—it's not every day that you experience a candied yuzu barbershop scent—but in the drydown it developed that sweet rubbery hospital smell that underpins the hideous Baccarat Rouge 540.

Unfortunately for me, the performance of Moonlight in Chiangmai was above average: I still reeked of a dentist's office from hell at bedtime six hours after application. A lamentable fate for what started off as an energizing and original fragrance.

Beautiful woody fragrance

What I love the most about this fragrance is that it is so unique. A lot of people find resemblance with so famous Baccarat Rouge, but too me it has completely different vibe and completely different mood to it.

It starts citrusy-woody, I feel a bit of ginger too; its like very pale shy moon shining after dark falls on the earth, it is transparent and almost white; as time passes and night gets into power the moon becomes darker, more intense yellow and the same development gets the fragrance. It gets sweeter, it gets yellow with sweet juicy pineapple and candied lemon, it develops beautifully and balances between masculine and feminine.
This perfume does not feel all natural, but to be honest it complements the concept of moonlight perfectly - it's slightly out of this space, with solar winds, lunar dust. You can feel its slightly mineral and synthetic.

The time passes, the moon fades and the morning mist settles close to the ground, this is where Moonlight becomes slightly smoky, woody, less sweet again. It even gets a bit of light clean smoke and white tobacco. And this dry-down stays when the sun rises, but you can feel the traces of Moonlight.

It has quite good longevity, I can feel it for good 8 hours. It's not like other fragrances from Dusita, less gourmand, less feminine, but more complicated. I love it!

Baking bread by moonlight

I generally like Dusita very much. I also like Moonlight in Chiangmai. Like all Dusitas it is very portable, but not too simple.

It starts off citric hot. The fruity Yuzu, which doesn't bother me at all here, although citrus scents are not really mine, is joined by the spicy nutmeg. I find the combination very exciting. It fits perfectly, as it gives the citrus scent an interesting punchline.

In time, the Yuzu will retire completely. In its place Benzoe Siam moves quite clearly into the foreground. Also the myrrh makes itself well noticeable. I'm generally for more myrrh in perfumes, and I like it here very much. The spiciness of nutmeg remains, but becomes much weaker. I find the other notes relatively inconspicuous, which doesn't matter at all, since they certainly contribute to the great overall picture.

All in all, I have the idea of freshly baked warm bread. I find this extraordinary and I like it very much. The shelf life and silage of the fragrance are not outstanding, but good.

Moonlight in Chiangmai is - like all Dusitas - a fragrance that I would like to get in the "full version" sometime. But this will take time, given the not inconsiderable - but fully justified - prices of the house Dusita.

Love at first sight

I confess, I'm shocked. Nobody has been able to do that for a long time, especially since I deal with fragrances almost daily...
In my opinion MiC is quite different from all the other Dusitas. I like the handwriting of Pissara, I love "Issara", find "Erawan" exciting and so very different. Also all her florals are wonderfully complex and interwoven. But this one is really different. At first I thought unusually light and almost fresh. And yet it lasts all day long It's hard to describe him. The yuzu is very present and not, as with many other fragrances, a hint between many other citrus fruits. With night jasmine I first thought of a classic jasmine scent, of course, but far from it. Night jasmine is a completely different plant and not even related to the classic jasmine. It has nothing "stinky", nothing Indian, is much more delicate than the typical white flowers. And under this beautiful weave of yuzu and night jasmine a soft but certain hint of nutmeg, which becomes more present in the fragrance.
MiC is for me in beauty and lightness the Yin to the warm and powerful Yang of "Issara". Simply enchanting, beautiful, a loving companion that envelops me like a light cloth of soft silk - so fresh that I don't sweat, so warm that I don't freeze - the perfect balance between grace and presence. Wonderful! ❤️
