The imaginary scent of heavenly-smelling moonmilk

Across cultures and centuries, the moon has inspired myths, rituals and stories that blur the boundaries between reality and imagination. Among the most fascinating legends is the notion of moonmilk, a mysterious luminous substance believed to possess celestial origins. Neither entirely real nor entirely imaginary, it represents a perfect metaphor for the dreamlike world explored by Air de Lune.

The fragrance was inspired by the idea of a heavenly scent suspended between sky, sea and moonlight. Rather than depicting a physical landscape, it evokes an atmosphere where colours, emotions and memories appear transformed. Purple and green reflections merge beneath a celestial glow, creating an olfactory experience that feels both familiar and otherworldly.

Mandarin and plum introduce a luminous opening, balancing freshness with velvety sweetness. Tagetes contributes an unusual green facet, while orange blossom and praline create softness and depth. The base combines vanilla, musk and patchouli, leaving behind a warm and enveloping trail.

This interplay between sweetness and mystery places Air de Lune at the crossroads of several fragrance families. Its gourmand facets echo those found in a sophisticated gourmand perfume, while the richness of vanilla and patchouli contributes to the character of an elegant ambery perfume.

The fragrance also reveals subtle connections to the tradition of oriental perfume creation, where warmth, sensuality and imagination play a central role. Meanwhile, patchouli and musks provide the structure commonly associated with a refined woody perfume.

Air de Lune ultimately invites us to experience fragrance as a dream rather than a description. Like moonlight itself, it remains elusive, poetic and impossible to fully capture.
