No, why do people do this? Why combine the terms "Moon" and "Dance" in a fragrance name? Why? Because everyone can imagine something nice, beautiful, even something romantic. A moon dance sounds great, right?
But no, the DonJuanDeCat here, who is probably considered a total freak by now (especially by the ladies here *sniff*), of course has to think of something else first. Sure, I also think a moon dance sounds wonderful. And yes, I might also think of Michael Jackson's moonwalk like some others… and yes, Moon Dance is a great name!
But, as with the fragrance "Fleur de Lune," I have to think of a quote: "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?!"… and no, I’d rather not say where that’s from…
… well, fine… it’s from Batman… you should know that by now *sob* … aaaaargh, let’s quickly move on to the fragrance description…!!!
The fragrance:
The scent starts with zesty roses… how is that supposed to work? Well, the roses indeed work together with the bergamot, and bergamot comes across a bit zesty (and a bit spicy), while the roses provide a certain floral sweetness.
Quickly, the tuberose also mixes in, which will appeal more to those who like tuberoses, as the scent of the tuberose is somewhat special. This shouldn’t be misunderstood, as it’s not bad, it just might not appeal to everyone since the scent comes across as heavier.
However, the tuberose seems unable to decide whether to stay or go, appearing and then disappearing again. This goes back and forth for quite some time.
The bergamot disappears fairly quickly, so that the roses become even more prominent, which then become the main scent note, closely followed by the tuberoses.
In the end, the scent remains tuberose-like, but it also develops a medium-strong patchouli note. Although a bit later, the tuberose recedes somewhat, allowing the (now somehow darker) roses to be smelled more strongly.
The sillage and longevity:
The projection is above average to actually quite good. I wouldn’t call it room-filling (well, depending on the dosage), but it is still strong enough to be detected well for a longer time.
The longevity is also quite good, lasting more than eight hours, and could even last much longer with proper dosing.
The bottle:
The bottle of this Juliette fragrance is one of the few that is not cylindrical, but rectangular and transparent. It is filled with a dark red fragrance liquid. There is no label; instead, everything is printed in a beautiful cursive font on the front of the bottle. The cap is chrome-plated and slightly trapezoidal. All in all, it feels high-quality and quite nice.
Hmm, I must say that the fragrance exudes a really beautiful, feminine aura. What I mean is that it must work really well on women. Additionally, the roses and the tuberose give the scent a somewhat dark mysterious quality, making it more of an evening fragrance or a scent for special occasions for me. Especially on colder days. Therefore, I think one should really give this fragrance a try. But be careful with the dosage; you could easily misjudge and spray too much.
I hope that next time I don’t end up with a fragrance with a similar name that somehow reminds me of Batman… *sigh* and I haven’t even published the fragrance "Bat" by Zoologist yet… *sigh sigh*
I think the scent is really well done, but the name... you're absolutely right... I immediately thought of Jacko with his signature hand gesture... this scent just doesn't fit that at all...
Bergamot, tuberose, and then patchouli? Three favorites all at once? And I usually really like rose too. I have to try this one; how did I miss it until now? Thanks for the comment!
I was initially thrilled with this scent, but it quickly became too "tuberose" for me.
It's definitely a fragrance with great longevity, but you should apply it sparingly!
