d'Annam Mooncake is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Luis Hou. Mooncake settles into a heart of Salt, Maple, Lotus, and Vanilla. d'Annam's Mooncake carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Mooncake is divisive. Some rave about its unique savoury sweetness and accurate gourmand artistry, while others are put off by what they perceive as an overly cloying or even urinal quality. Sample first, this one's a trip.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Mooncake's prominent sweetness and thick gourmand accords make it less suitable for formal or office settings where subtlety is key. It truly shines in casual settings or on a date, where its warm, comforting, and unique character can be fully appreciated.

About

Imagine a rich, gooey honey-maple syrup confection with an earthy, slightly savoury core. This scent opens with a dominant, sticky sweetness, balanced by a subtle, almost powdery floral hint from the lotus. The distinct mung bean note grounds the sweetness, making for a complex, edible aroma. The salted quality keeps it from being overwhelmingly sugary, adding an intriguing depth.
