Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Moonwind's moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its clean, fresh yet comforting green character, make it suitable for a variety of settings. It's especially good for casual wear or the office, but its subtle elegance also works for dates, though perhaps not for high-energy formal events or sports.

About

Opening with a crisp, sparkling burst of aldehydic citrus from bergamot and grapefruit, Moonwind quickly settles into a verdant landscape. Green notes intertwine with the slightly indolic sweetness of narcissus and the herbal calm of lavender. As it develops, a deep, resonant base of earthy vetiver and genuine oakmoss emerges, creating a subtly woody, almost melancholic, yet utterly captivating character.
