Which Should You Buy?
A truly polarising beast, The Moon is either a masterpiece or an unwearable scrubber, depending on who you ask. If you're a fan of mega-loud, animalic oud with a fruity twist, this could be your holy grail. For everyone else, tread with extreme caution.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Frederic Malle - The Moon - a fruity fragrance led by Saffron, Litchi, Raspberry, with warm spicy depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Note weights are our estimate from each note's place in the pyramid, not the share of the formula. Brands do not publish formulations.
Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its nuclear performance and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office or casual wear, as it's likely to overwhelm. This fragrance is best reserved for formal events or evening dates where its opulent and bold character can truly shine.
Seasons
Reach for it across spring and summer, where the fruity signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.
Occasions
This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
Similarity Breakdown
Our estimate of how alike these two fragrances smell, calculated from their published notes. It is a position on our scale, not a measured percentage of shared smell.
