Our verdict on Moth: Acquired

Divisive yet utterly captivating, Moth is either a gothic masterpiece evoking forgotten attics and smouldering enchantment, or a dusty, medicinal mess. You'll either love its unsettling beauty or find it completely unwearable.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and distinct, 'arty' character make it less suitable for everyday office wear, with many finding it unwearable for work. However, its complex, dark allure fits well for date nights and formal events, particularly in colder weather, where its unique profile can be appreciated without overwhelming a casual setting.

About

Moth unfurls with a potent, almost liturgical opening of dark, warm spices and a fleeting zest of lemon. This quickly mellows, developing into a dry, powdery heart where honey-drenched florals like rose and iris intertwine with an antique, dusty quality. The base deepens into a smoky, resinous warmth, reminiscent of old wood and smouldering incense, embracing a curiously comforting, almost melancholic sweetness.
