In The Box The Red Moon is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. The Red Moon opens with Spicy Notes, Blood Orange, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. In The Box's The Red Moon carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a bold move, and it's not for everyone. The Red Moon is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, carving out its own niche rather than trying to please the masses.

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.

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.

About

The Red Moon kicks off with a sharp, juicy whack of blood orange, spiced up good and proper with a peppery kick. It's lively, almost fizzy. Then it mellows into a heart of clean orange blossom and a hint of lavender, stopping it from being too shouty. The drydown goes all smoky and warm with amber and creamy sandalwood, grounded by earthy oakmoss and that rich sweetness of tonka bean.
