Before trying it I read reviews comparing it to Baccarat Rouge dipped in white chocolate. The performance makes sense but the scent is different for me. It reminds me more of a Queenie from Mindgames with tobacco or a Tobacco Vanille that’s much more vanilla-forward creamy and smooth with fewer spices. It’s a very soft tobacco blended with sweet creamy notes (I haven’t tried Tobacolor so I’m not sure if it’s similar). Unlike many tobacco scents it’s not strong or intrusive. It’s sweet without being cloying airy and present in the background with occasional bursts creating a sweet yet elegant aura. It lasts quite a bit and people notice it though it causes me olfactory fatigue quickly and I stop smelling it soon. I think I need to test it more in different conditions to see its real performance but for now I consider it very versatile—perfect as a signature scent or for everyday wear.
Before trying it I read several comments referring to its resemblance to Baccarat Rouge after being dipped in white chocolate. I certainly understand the comparison especially regarding its performance though for me the scent is quite different. The aroma reminds me more of a Queenie from Mindgames with tobacco or a Tobacco Vanille that’s much more vanilla-forward creamy smooth and less spiced. In short it’s a very soft tobacco blended with sweet and creamy notes (I haven’t tried Tobacolor so I’m not sure if it’s really similar). However unlike most tobacco perfumes it’s not a strong or intrusive scent. It’s a sweet aroma but not cloying. An airy scent that’s there but always in the background giving occasional bursts and creating a sweet yet elegant aura around you. It lasts quite a bit and people can feel it although it causes me significant olfactory fatigue and I can’t smell it after a short time. I think I need to test it more thoroughly and in different conditions to see its actual performance but above all I’d say it’s a very versatile perfume perfect as a signature scent and to accompany you through your daily activities.
Unique in its class. Intoxicating and addictive. That caramel note with black and white chocolate plum and ambroxan musk. Very little tobacco note. UNIQUE. Nothing like Tobacolor. Moonlight is playful all-rounder with excellent longevity and wide sillage.
Something weird happened to me: it smells like nothing. Neither I nor a friend who tried it could smell it. I let it sit for a while to see if it changes; if not I’ll sell it. EDIT: Wow Perfumon! I love this scent; it’s exactly what I was looking for. You can smell the tobacco but it’s sweet with chocolate and plum plus that musky and woody base. It’s 90% like Dior’s Tobacolor. I went to buy it because it was on my list but when I smelled it again it was so similar to this that I ended up not buying it.
Something very curious happened with this perfume. I can’t smell it at all. It’s the first time I haven’t been able to smell a perfume. Plus I gave it to a friend to smell and she said the same thing—she couldn’t smell it either. So I left it for a while to see if things change and if not I’ll put it up for sale. EDIT: Wow Perfumon! I love this type of scent; this is exactly what I expected from this perfume. You can smell the tobacco but it’s a sweet tobacco with chocolate and plum. I also sense the musky and woody parts. It’s 90% like Dior’s Tobacolor. I went to buy Tobacolor since it was on my list but when I smelled it again it was so similar to this that I finally didn’t buy it.
It reminds me of everything and nothing at the same time. It’s like a sweet bomb a chocolate truffle filled with candied fruits. It’s a temptation made into perfume: sexy wild mature and provocative. I think of Baccarat Rouge dipped in white chocolate but in my opinion this version is improved.
It reminds me of many things but resembles nothing. A sweet bomb a chocolate truffle filled with candied fruits. This is a temptation made into perfume. Sexy wild mature and provocative. I do think of Baccarat Rouge… dipped in white chocolate. In my opinion it’s improved.
Comforting sexy and quite gourmand but without being childish. Perfect for cool weather. It has superb performance in both projection and longevity.
