Cosmogony Moon Light is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Moon Light opens with Freesia, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, and Melon, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Cosmogony's Moon Light carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Moon Light is a divisive scent, bringing a bold, peppery floral punch that's either a vibrant oriental dream or simply 'too much' depending on your taste. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

While its moderate performance prevents it from being overwhelming, the assertive spicy-floral character makes it less suited for a conservative office. Its unique profile and depth make it a good fit for dates and evenings, striking a balance between casual intrigue and formal elegance.

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.

Other declarable allergens

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

An immediate burst of pink pepper and cardamom gives way to a vibrant floral heart where freesia, iris, and rose mingle with a subtle aquatic freshness. As it dries, a warm amber and musk base provides a soft landing, underpinned by earthy vetiver and oakmoss, creating a complex, evolving fragrance that's anything but linear.
