Frédéric Malle The Moon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Julien Rasquinet. The Moon opens with Red Currant, Saffron, Raspberry, and Litchi, and settles into a heart of Red Berries, Rose, Violet, and Frankincense. Frédéric Malle's The Moon carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

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.

About

The Moon rockets off with an audacious blend of ripe, juicy berries-blackberry, raspberry, litchi, and strawberry-sweetened by a hint of saffron. As it settles, a sophisticated bouquet of rose and violet emerges, intertwined with a potent, animalic oud. This daring core is softened by a rich leather, warm amber, and woody undertones, creating a complex, dark, and sensual aroma that commands attention.
