Alexandria Fragrances Moonstruck is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020. Moonstruck opens with Pink Pepper, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Green Notes, Cedar, and Ambergris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Peru Balsam. Alexandria Fragrances's Moonstruck carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a bit of a grower, so don't write it off after the first sniff. Give it time to macerate and settle on your skin, and you'll find a captivating, woody vanilla that's both unique and strangely nostalgic. It's divisive, but for those who get it, it's addictive.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Myroxylon Balsamum Pereirae Balsam Extract from Peru Balsam
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine wandering through an ancient forest at dusk, the air thick with the scent of dark, resinous woods. Moonstruck opens with a hint of spicy cardamom and pink pepper, leading into a heart of rich balsamic ambergris and vanilla. Underlying it all is a deep, musky cedar and Peru balsam, softened by a touch of warm cinnamon. The green notes are fleeting, developing into a wonderfully creamy, woody vanilla trail.
