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!

If only my dentist's office smelled like this!

Yeah, there's a twang reminiscent of BR 540 in here, but it's pretty short-lived. I can even understand why some say it smells like a dental office, and there's a bit of that in here as well. I guess the masochist in me loves this side of it, the mix of fear and anticipation, a twinge of bloody gums, gauze and anesthetic. But really, Moonlight in Chiang Mai stands on its own two feet as a fragrance, and I actually like it more than BR 540 and its endless clones. Nutmeg and yuzu pudding on a teak table stained with myrrh. The dry down reminds me of the way my father smelled when wearing Aramis. Masculine? Hmm. Not sure, I prefer wearing this and last time I checked, I seem to be a woman.

It's a hard pass.

This smells like an upscale mall that contains a Lululemon, Chico's, Free People, Madewell, an Anthropologie, with a Bloomingdale's, a Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus for anchors. In other words, it has that "basic" appeal for a niche release, as crude as it may sound.

I detect what I believe to be a Teak Note base that I purchased from Creating Perfume sometime back, which is an amalgamation of cedar oil and various woody amber bases. The sweetness from benzoin and some hard-to-nail fruity floral accord gives this mainstream appeal and was perhaps launched as the more accessible money maker for the brand.

I find it rather two-dimensional and vague, not to mention a bit too synthetic compared to some of Pissara's other compositions. It's almost like it was totally advised through market research.

Love at First Sniff

I confess, I am shockingly in love. It has been a long time since anyone has managed to do this, especially since I deal with fragrances almost daily...
MiC is, in my opinion, completely different from all other Dusitas. I like Pissara's signature, I love "Issara", find "Erawan" intriguing and so very different. All her florals are beautifully complex and intertwined. But this one is really different. At first, I thought it was unusually light and almost fresh. And yet it lasts all day.
It's hard to describe. The yuzu is very present and not, like in many other fragrances, just a hint among many other citrus fruits. With night jasmine, I initially thought of a classic jasmine scent, but I was far off. Night jasmine is a completely different plant and not even related to classic jasmine. It has nothing "stinky," nothing indolic, and is much more delicate than typical white flowers. And beneath this beautiful weave of yuzu and night jasmine, there is a gentle yet distinct hint of nutmeg that becomes a bit more pronounced as the fragrance develops.
For me, MiC is 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! ❤️
