Great authentic but short-lived lavender scent
A new addition to my collection: The Moonlight Serenade from Gucci's The Alchemist's Garden series. I like these expensive lines from designer brands because they live up to luxury standards and are not carelessly thrown together like some designer fragrances. I bought this scent also because of this great bottle that is truly a real eye-catcher with its floral motifs and beautiful porcelain look. In terms of fragrance, I wanted an authentic lavender scent, which is why I chose this Gucci. Of course, one must consider the poor performance, which is indeed somewhat disappointing. With a retail price of €250 for 150ml, this is really too little, although this scent can be had for half the price. On the Gucci homepage, this Moonlight Serenade can no longer be found, which could mean that it is no longer in the assortment. Otherwise, this scent is not very readily available. This fragrance was created by Alberto Morillas, who is more known for designer fragrances. Now and then, he also ventures into niche, which can also be sensed.
The packaging and bottle, as mentioned, are a 10 out of 10 for me. For me, it is one of the most beautiful on the market with the packaging and the bottle, wrapped in a stylish Gucci pouch. I really like it, and I will keep the packaging, which is rather rare due to space reasons.
The scent is not complex, but still appears extremely noble and elegant. Lavender has a calming effect, which is wonderfully noticeable in the opening. A very authentic note that is extremely pleasant with these floral-green nuances. Additionally, this creation is very fresh and wearable for any occasion. Since lavender also has a relaxing effect, it is also suitable to wear this scent before going to sleep if one enjoys that. After the top note of plenty of lavender, there is a fresh-spicy sage note that can also convince, rounded off by sweet tonka. Overall, a rather simple creation that still appears stylish and elegant. Not much happens in the scent progression, which is not problematic here.
Performance is the downside: Some say it lasts for 1 hour, I get about 3-4 hours of longevity. The scent really only has sillage in the first hour, afterwards it is very close to the skin. For the price range, that is too little, even if the DNA is quite authentic. One must accept that it is just a scent for occasional wear.
I find the large surplus of female owners interesting. The scent is actually quite balanced. With 45 owners, it is still a rather unpopular scent, which is certainly due to the poor longevity.
I really like the scent, but one should spray more and also accept that authentic scents sometimes fade quickly. This one does too. I like the overall picture, and you get a great top note.
