Moon Dance

Swoon! Moon Dance is an old-fashioned modern explotion of all the dirtiest white flowers. It reminds me a lot of older perfumes when ladies had a desire to smell like ladies and not bleached safe fruit&flower. Th SA pushed this to me, but I could not afford. Anyway I can still appreciate this wonder of raw smells that hit you right in your soft parts. It's an empowering scent that you will probably wear for your own pleasure rather than for crowd-pleasing, because it can be not everyone's cup. Definetely not for the faint at heart (nor faint at wallet). The opening is pure tuberose with its lovely dirty edge that SA politely insist calling "earthen". Ok, it is earthen and something more. Rose is very into the blend, it addsa nuance of poetry, then gradually subside. Natural or synthetical I cannot tell, but if it is synthetical for once in time a perfumeur could catch that musky fecal effect, vaguely similar to Kiehl's musk oil, which I don't like, mingled with white thick carnal flowers. Violet is less obvious. It goes on like that for at least 2 hours sending little clouds of both pure and dirty flowers, something that I experienced with beautiful Guerlain Idylle Duet Jasmin&Lilas (which I love) then it becomes more monodimensional, hitting on the musk effect, perhaps given by a good patchouli. It becomes more of a strong skinscent. Not my bf's fave for sure. I wouldn't call this an elegant perfume in a classy way, because it's more about raw sensuality, but nothing forbid to wear it for important events. If you can splurge, splurge on this. EDIT of the day after: It clings to fabrics and never let them go! And it keeps going from fabrics back to skin with a soft whaft of tuberose and musk. Definetely expensive but at least it lasts!

This is a seriously beautiful, magical perfume. The name "Moon Dance" describes it perfectly I think; the scent definitely brings to mind images of a velvet night sky, a pale moon and thousands of iridescent stars. Sweet tuberose and violet over a deep patchouli background, with a lush rose intertwined. The tuberose is the most noticeable note to me, followed by the violet. Interestingly enough, JHAG has managed to make violet smell a lot more "modern" with this one (for some reason, violet almost always seems old fashioned to me most of the time, but not here.) They have done for violet here what they did for rose with many of the other perfumes in their original line (LV, Miss Charming, LVE, MM) - given it a modern twist and made it a romantic contemporary scent. Moon Dance comes off as powdery but not overly so. Longevity is extremely good, sillage is noticeable but not too high. I'd say moderate for the first 1-3 hours and a skin scent after that. This is not a super strong scent but it still has enough weight to last for a very long time, which is great because most scents, no matter how expensive, do not last long on me. Also, the bottle/purple juice is beautiful too. The scent + concept reminds me of a classier, more elegant and refined Midnight Poison (though this definitely has less patchouli and more florals). This is just one of those perfumes that I encourage people to get a sample of, as I think it needs to be smelled in person.. . I've been kind of obsessed with this one for the last few months. (though I am not super happy about the price, as I was not able to find it discounted anywhere). Gorgeous perfume though.

Ohh my goodnes .i just found a sample of this in my stash . dont think i have gotten round to testing it properly somehow. But today a rainy cold spring day i found the need to test something new. And wow wow wow . This hits home run straight away . oh my this is beautiful especialy in this types of climat i can feel it as a sunny warm brigt sun of a fragrance wafting around me . Going on pretty strong only need a tiny bit of this stuff. at first i was not sure if it was this perfume . it only says moondance on my sample decant . But reading up on it im convinsed . It has a honey warmth to it . reminding me of poison old type and somehow also Rare Gold Avon. Its been ages sins i tryed that one , But it made me feel just like this . this is stronger and more mystical . Kind of also have something similer to Safanade .a mix of safanade and poison in the best way possible . Oh boy this goes straight to my want list. wishing the fragrance fairy welcome to bring me this the best way possible . <3 Perfect name to the bottle aswell . Im attracted to the moon and this tuberose, violet ,rosy patchouli mix , making it a potion to wear under the spell of the moon . Magic can happen if you only belive . This brings back hope that magic and miracles excists out there . Wish upon the moon or a shooting star ....

I adore Moon Dance totally!!! It's the most gorgeous perfume - one of my favourite rose perfumes!! It's the loveliest rose chypre, full of gorgeous scents, with the majestic rose being the queen, but certainly tuberose and violet are star performers in their own right. It's perfectly elegant and sophisticated, and very very sensual and mysterious. Deep and dark, and powerful. It won my heart as soon as I put it on the very first time a couple of years ago, and has stayed firmly there ever since. Beautiful!!! Entirely feminine and alluring, bewitching and sultry. And yet at the same time, it has a soft demureness about it, like she's slightly hiding her strength behind a soft veil of silk. And the strength of the patchouli, with it's earthiness and herbaceous potency, is underlying the delicate florals. It is a sublime and glorious perfume. And I get compliments all the time, especially from my husband who thinks it's the best perfume ever! It has terrific longevity and sillage, and I don't have to put much on either - it is so lovely and strong. It's just beautiful. Glorious. Fabulous!!!

An explosion of Rose mingled with intense Tuberose, plus some other white florals (is it Ylang that I seem to detect that is not listed in the pyramid?), this perfume hits you in the face much in the More-is-More 80s style: Big, bold, strong yet sensual, substantial sillage and long-lasting. For someone who wants to make a statement and an entrance. The packaging couldn't be more different from JHaG's standard line - classic square flacon, creamy-white lacquer box with silver plaque with a velvet wrap, definitely Luxury but almost nothing in common with the rest of JHaG's bottles. I am curious as to who the Nose behind this latest creation is (is it still FK who, according to various reports, worked on the other JHaG)? After getting my hands on this bottle, I saw the entire JHaG prominently displayed in Sephora Paris including the two from this latest Luxury Collection, so one can expect to hear a lot more about this brand in mainstream media. Just hope it won't get over-exploited.
