Hey hey, here I am again and bring a new commentary, and I'll overhear your bored sighs... tsss... read it first, guys! After all, today there is a fragrance called "Moonmilk", which sounds interesting, doesn't it?
Moon milk, or milk from the moon, sounds mysterious to me. Sometime in the future, when you have moon cows on the moon, you bring this milk from the moon, which tastes very special :D
Of course, moon milk could also be a buzzword for a drug, you can imagine the content or the effect yourself, hey hey.
In reality moon milk is something completely different, it is the name for certain types of calcite deposits, e.g. in stalactite caves, whereby moon milk is much softer than the rock of stalactites. As you might imagine, these deposits are very milky to white. As these are mostly formed in mountains or caves, they are also called mountain milk.
In any case, this fragrance was inspired by the adventures of Conrad Gessner, a 16th century zoologist, but who was also many other things, just as it should have been for scientists of that time, because somehow they were all of them at once: physicists, chemists, botanists, speleologists, perfuma irritants, adventurers and and and. And in his reports he recorded how he had discovered such calcite deposits in the mountains and caves in the shimmering moonlight.
So, I think it is great when a fragrance has such an interesting background instead of just describing that it is (once again) a fragrance for the "modern, self-confident woman" or the "successful guy that everyone wants to emulate"...
But enough of that talk, otherwise you'll leave bored! Good, then let's go to the scent!
The smell:
The scent starts with fresh lime as well as black tea, whereas the tea here rather does not smell brewed, so it smells like the dry tea leaves, which you can smell for example when you smell into the tea tin or bag. The scent is quite nice and smells tart, but also a bit dry.
This is accompanied by very light black pepper and some green-herbal cardamom. I also smell green notes in general, but I think that's just the interplay of the already mentioned fragrances here.
Only a short time later the first leather notes come through, which is already a somewhat unusual combination with the tea, but the leather weakens somewhat at some point, so that the scent appears quite tart again when you can smell the tea again.
In the base, however, the leather comes back and both scents, leather and tea, smell equally intense, creating both a rather leathery and a rather spicy-harsh scent. All in all I find the scent quite dry in the base as well, which is not really my case. Something "soft", i.e. scents like resins or something like that, would have been good for the scent.
The Sillage and the durability:
The Sillage is actually strong. Maybe not right at the beginning, but in the base, when both leather and tea are scented together, you can smell it very clearly from the other end of the room. The shelf life is also quite good and lasts for the usual six, seven or eight hours, as usual.
The bottle!
The bottle is rectangular and, as with every fragrance of this brand, it has an individual drawing on the front, although I must say that I like the pictures of the other fragrances much better than this one. The cap is round and solid, and shiny beige. There are nicer caps here as well, but in the overall package, the bottle is of course very interesting and also very beautiful.
Conclusion:
Soo, well I actually like scents with teen notes, but here I didn't really like the scent that much. The scent is not that bad now, but leather and tea give me a much too dry scent. I simply miss various things here that make the scent more pleasant. Be it a light sweetness, smooth resins, creamy or powdery notes or fresh greens or citrus, just anything that doesn't make the scent look like it's stuck in your throat :D
It doesn't help when the black tea even comes across as quite authentic, as for example in Cloon Keen's "Infusion Assam" studio.
The scent is therefore usable for,... well, to be honest, with such scents it is always difficult to determine. It's not so great for going out, for other social occasions it might not go down so well (when you smelled it on me, they told me how I could stand it...) and it can also look dry and scratchy to you.
Tea and maybe leather fans could take a look in here, but otherwise I would somehow classify the fragrance in the category "Special Interest". The season is more autumn/winter and maybe spring, but for hot days it is too overwhelming.
Well, and that brings me to the end of my commentary. But one more thing: I have no idea what the scent has to do with moon milk... but at least hopefully nobody will have the idea to pour moon milk into the tea, buaargh!!! :DD
Well then, have a nice evening and see you later :)
