Ciel D'hiver

Clean, clear, transcendentally quiet. How do I even begin, how could I even try to? So, background here: I loathe soapy neroli. That lemon-pith, white-floral shriek that too often smells like an obnoxious I'm-in-a-hotel-you're-in-a-BNB moral superiority. And yet. This, this is different. Imagine the warm breath of your most beloved, rhinestoned on cold glass. The neroli is unmistakable in the opening, but it has been buffered, refined, stripped of its abrasiveness and left pure. Not feminine and breezy like that in VCA's Neroli Amara nor unfiltered and impactful like Essential's Neroli Botanica, but radiant as ever. Imagine the scent of neroli if it had been snowed on. Or silk-screened onto white cotton sheets still nourishing the blooms of the intimate. It doesn’t lather, it flourishes in brilliance, brilliance, brilliance. Ambrette takes centre about an hour in, diffusing the neroli oil with finger-clasped, almost starchy white reeds. A touch of musk, human , round and soft and slightly nutty. Somewhere in the scaffolding, there's that satiny skin-closeness, that unfussy bliss. Woods, too, but not the explicit, smoky kind. This is pale grain and steamed bark, like crisp and airy virginia cedarwood. A little structure to hold the weightless things together from a dry yet sensual sandalwood and boom—get yourself ready for a darn good time. Your common neroli is a five-star chain that smells the same in every country. Ciel d’Hiver is the quiet cabin you book once and never forget, the lived-in yet lovingly-tendered one with neroli vines on the balcony and books left behind by strangers. Moncler with two back-to-back hits: absolutely lovely.

This is a gorgeous molecular scent. I get ambrette, neroli and woodiness from the sandalwood. It’s a soft scent but you can still smell it. I could still smell it on me after 6 plus hours. This would be a great layering scent to extend your fragrances due to the ambrofix. It’s great on its own too. I am loving Moncler fragrances. Le Solstice is my favourite from the line. Totally unisex too.

I love this so so so much on my husband! The scent is so addictive, warm and pleasant. I've been smelling him nonstop these days... It is a sophisticated and expensive bright neroli ambroxan with a very earthy warm sandalwood. This is the best moncler fragrance in my honest opinion! Probably my favorite nowadays. And did I say I love it so much? arghhh 10/10

Amazing. Just try it. Ambroxan, amber, woody, neroli, just calm and soft but strong and potent at the same time. Every review on other sites I’ve checked this out on can’t get enough of it. It Lasts so long too. The reviews underneath just love to hate. Or theyre not acknowledging that everyone has different skin and perfumes perform differently on different people. So don’t take the reviews here (given that there are only two) as the end all be all overview of this fragrance. Plus it’s just 2 reviews of this fragrance that make up the 3 star rating there’s not enough ratings on here. Most definitely because this is a NEW fragrance that just launched. So the rating is incredibly ridiculously biased toward them. Try it.

Floral woody musk ruined by the use of too much ambroxan. The scent actually could have been a nice combination of neroli, sandalwood and ambrette seeds but instead the central theme is dwarfed by a heavy dose of ambroxan from start to finish giving it a cheap designer vibe. The unisex scent has moderate sillage and very good longevity.

very designer-ish in a bad way neroli-centered fragrance. the worst of the line.

I really wanted to like this one because I love the other perfumes of this line, however I cannot smell it at all, I suppose I'm anosmic to the notes even though I can usually smell ambroxan in other compositions
