Moon Child

Special. To me it smells like ... bright pale blue, colour of forget-me-not flowers let's say. It smells blue. Some floral, fruity, metallic and bizarrely cold. It also has a "frosted raspberry soda" note that is synthetic but nostalgic and very enjoyable. It's blends very well with the other notes. Aldehydes are not too aggressive, which is good since I'm not a huge fan of the note. Here it is quite discrete. I want a full bottle. It's different enough to justify another FB in my collection and the price tag of this brand is quite fine considering it is niche perfumery. No ripoff here. Longevity is actually great. Several hours if sprayed in my hair. Does not project heavily but this is fine to wear at the office. Edit : the more I wear the more I like it. It's actually one of my go-to scent for office setting since it's weird enough so it fits my personality yet remains quite discrete and polite :)

god what a fragrance. was super excited to smell it and it did not disappoint at all! it starts out as this heavy incense, a strong church smell but a very pleasant and interesting one. as it dries down i picked up on the dried raspberry, metal, and gunpowder. amazing combination, something i would love to wear all the time. unfortunately the sillage and the longevity aren’t amazing but the fragrance overcompensates for it completely.

Chilled capsule of a space station medical module, the smell of "flowers" in the inner chambers of the Snow Queen. I smell clove flower (not a spice), fresh raspberries, cold, transparent incense and something like Fathom V BeauFort - the collective sleepy breath of all once flowers in the florist shop refrigerator. A flower-covered altar in the chapel capsule of an empty spaceship, flooded with starlight through portholes.

Icy, cool, aloof whilst also bringing smoke and floral fruitless. This perfume is a work of contradictions but such a marvel. It’s frosty, cold aldehydes with metallic undertones and then you get smokiness with some Lilly’s, incense & gunpowder with fruity undertones. This is such a beautiful scent, so unique but also so wearable. IG/Tiktok: @wilddew_vibes

A factory that makes raspberry candies is burning down during a snowstorm, and the air smells of burned fruit, melting metal, white lab coats, fire, and ice.

I hate incense, don't understand aldehydes, and don't like the smell of fresh lilies. I smelled Moon Child only out of curiosity – and was very surprised. The first thing I notice is the scent of flash-frozen raspberries or freeze-dried raspberries – a dry berry that crumbles into raspberry-scented dust right in your fingers. Then come tingling bubbles in the nose, dry cool dust, and something reminiscent of Schweppes – or maybe tarragon soda, though not quite tarragon itself, more like a dry bitterness in the background. In hot and humid weather, it opens with a delicate floral scent, with cool, dry crumbs on the periphery. In cooler weather, this scent creates a feeling of solitude – the kind where you feel like you're alone in the entire universe. But then the scent warms, and you slowly thaw from this cosmic loneliness and return to the world.

Smells metallic and soapy, chromatic and sterile. Like a newly made astronaut's suit. Or the inside of a spaceship. Smells a tiny bit fruity, but not particularly detectable if you aren't trying to fixate on it. It's probably what Katy Perry wished she smelled like on that 5 minute space trip. Longevity is pretty decent as well. A bit expensive though, so I wouldn't buy a full size (I only have a sample) but if the above is your vibe, this is a good option. Imo a better performing version of Odeur 53 by Comme Des Garcons.

I wish they would have left the raspberry ketones fruitiness out of this fragrance and really went for something extremely cold and metallic, aldehydic, and smokey. The raspberry ruins everything here that could have been. The fruity sweetness is distracting. It feels like it doesn't belong. The gunpowder is smoky but I wish I got more of the aldehydic lily. In other words if I was blending this the gunpowder would have been toned down, the raspberry tossed and the mineral notes, lily and aldehydes and cold musks would have been ramped up. This should come off colder. More mysterious. When you think about looking up at the moon in the night sky surrounded by stars you don't think of raspberry scented gunpowder. PM me if interested in sampling this.

It’s interesting. Opens with aldehydes that feel slightly cold, and an intense metallic note and smokiness from the gunpowder. This is the first perfume where I got to smell gunpowder very clearly. Dries down to something more wearable, yet still metallic. You can smell the lilies, and the raspberry is not like a juicy fresh raspberry but a very faint frozen raspberry. The aldehydes start to turn slightly citrusy so the imagery that the perfume tries to present sort of dies for me if I don’t focus on it. Overall, it’s a perfume I can appreciate for its’ uniqueness and concept, but not something I would actively wear. When trying to use up the sample I started to dislike how sharp is smelled on my skin.

Smells like an art experiment; a combination of photorealistic fragrant molecules of the following: Cold morning sunshine. Clean sun dried white linens. Powdered raspberries. Freshly polished silver. Glass bottle of mineral water from Iceland. Pink Himalayan salt lamp.
