Novellista Deep Moon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Jean-Michel Santorini. Deep Moon opens with Grapefruit, Orange Blossom, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Ginger, Coriander, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Novellista's Deep Moon carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A pleasant, universally appealing 'blue' scent that suffers from a serious performance issue. It's nice, but the value for money is a real sticking point for many. Don't expect beast mode.

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 Occasions

Best For:

Its fresh, aromatic profile and poor longevity make it an ideal choice for casual wear and the office, where it won't overpower. Its subtle projection makes it less suitable for formal events where a more impactful presence might be desired.

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

Deep Moon opens with a bright, crisp hit of grapefruit and orange blossom, swiftly followed by a warm, spicy heart of cardamom and ginger, rounded out by earthy sage. The dry down is a mellow blend of vetiver, oakmoss, and a surprising vanilla sweetness, evoking a cool, moonlit forest or a night by the sea. It's a cohesive scent that balances fresh masculinity with an underlying warmth.
