Neon Moon

I absolutely love this perfume, I am a big fan of Pacifica perfumes but I wasn't too sure about this specific one. It took a good 3 wears for it to grow on me, When I first got it I didn't like how it smelled on me as I thought it didn't suit my skin as well but after a little while it smelled a bit better than before. Also I know this might be a unisex perfume for some but I think it smells more feminine in my opinion which I don't mind, As I am a 16 year old girl who likes to dress quite feminine and country The perfumes scent starts out as a nice warm woody spicy smell then fades to a beautiful powdery floral scent. I also sprayed it on myself (Two sprays) and it lasted me the whole day and I took a shower in the night but in the morning when I woke up I could smell it on myself which is quite odd since I make sure to clean myself as good as I can since I work outdoors but I guess that proves it sticks to certain skin very nicely. 10/10, I recommend this to anyone who wants a nice powdery, woody well-priced everyday perfume. It really grew on me after using only floral notes for an everyday perfume.

This is an incredible perfume. I reach for it more than anything else in my 100+ bottle niche and designer collection. It seems to shift between jasmine, smoky spices, and the DRIEST sandalwood I’ve ever smelled. Similar to Santal 33 without the pickles, with added jasmine (the viney jungle kind, not the well-behaved bouquet kind) and smokey depth. The cardamom is blended so smoothly that it gives it more to the texture than to the nose. The dry woods evoke something else too: dried violet, parchment, dry tea leaves? Normally fragrances like this are softened for mass appeal and cheapened by something generic: vanilla, amber, or something sugary or boozy. Not this one. This perfume seems to follow a singular vision and doesn’t give a damn if we like it or not. Whenever I stop smelling it, I immediately miss it. It’s under $30. Rich. Nuanced. Unique. Addictive. Unmistakable. I’m completely dumbfounded by how it even can exist at this price point. What a huge gamble this manufacturer has made. We’d better stock up before it’s discontinued.

Love this smell, it's an exact dupe for santal 33, and n.04 . Sprays nicely and is perfect for layering or just as a stand-alone. You might have to reapply every two hours if you want the scent to continue to stand out, but I like my smells to be intimate so I wouldn't reapply if I already sprayed 3-4 times the first time applying it. I paired it with Pacifica's neon moon body lotion and was able to smell like neon moon for a while, so this might be why I do not need to reapply. This is a great perfume if you want to smell clean and warm but cool at the same time- this is for you. It is a unisex perfume, so a perfect gift for anyone tbh! Cute bottle too!

I adore this scent. I have a sample of Santal 33, and they smell almost identical. The only difference is that this is a bit lighter, not as leathery. My boyfriend also adores this scent on me, and he even has mentioned him wanting to spray it on himself. I love how this is a woody scent that can be worn year-round. Its light enough to be worn in the summer, but would also be cozy in the winter. It is what I would describe as a "your skin but better" type of scent. It really just smells like your natural skin, it doesn't scream "perfume". This lasts forever on me and projects very well.

This scent is probably my favorite out of the Moon line from Pacifica. Since I am of Indian descent, it has a very pleasant spicy scent that reminds me of my childhood. Something about it reminds me of saffron and cardamom, even though saffron is not a note in this perfume. It smells more expensive than it’s price tag, and it’s much more unique than the rest of the line, which have a lot of pleasant but more common notes. I wear this during the summer, and I’ve gotten compliments. I bought two bottles of this because I’m halfway through the first bottle.

I purchased both discovery kits from Pacifica. I found myself rationing Neon Moon because I love it so much. I purchased a full bottle and it was a great choice for my tastes! Neon Moon is a cardamom bomb and lasts a good amount of time when I make sure to spray some on my clothes and not just my skin. I reminds me of another favorite, Book by Commodity, but neon moon is less pickles. I would also consider Silver Moon for a full bottle. The Moons collection is more interesting than the other sampler set. Sample first, regret nothing.

Upon first spray there was a sour smell that I found quite unpleasant. I immediately put the bottle down and expected to move on, but as soon as it dried down on my skin, it morphed into an absolutely stunning spicy sandalwood which lasted for the rest of the day. I had to go back and buy it. The first spray out of the bottle might seem strange but don't be fooled! If you love sandalwood, you'll love this. Delicious.

I personally LOVE this. It’s supposedly a santal 33 dupe but it seems that other people are not as big of fans of santal 33 as I am so I don’t wear it often as to not offend others. However, it’s so unique and comforting to me. I use it as a room spray before guests come over because I feel it gives a spa vibe.

I love this scent profile. It cleanse my scent palette , grounds and relaxes me. I have most of the above "this perfume reminds me" of and yes they're all related . Pacifica's version being my favorite. Reasons; you can spray with abandon and it doesn't feel heavy and no dill pickles present .

I LOVE how this smells in the bottle and on my person. It is one of the most addictive profiles I've ever experienced. My disappointment lies in the lasting power - it lasts maybe 1 hour on clothing, skin, and hair. I wish this weren't the case, as I adore it.

I was surprised by this. I haven't liked a lot from the moon line....silver moon is nice...but beyond that, haven't been impressed. This though is really good! A lot like no.4 and santal 33 - very nice for the price. longevity isn't too bad either!

I just love this one. It’s my signature 'cool girl' scent. This smells green, spicy, and warm. I find it energizing and I like to wear it to the gym, or with a white t-shirt and jeans. Love the price point. I just wish it lasted longer.

This smells almost identical to Santal 33, minus the leather note. Stunning, spicy, woodsy fragrance that’s both sexy and airy. Low-key smells like you’re taking a walk through a forest in the best possible way.

This is my boyfriends favorite scent on me, but one of the only ones in my collection he also sprays on himself

This is up there with the least congruent scent&bottle combos I've ever witnessed. I'll just throw that out there, and absolutely NOTHING about this is neon to me. It smells like a light brown, and it's soothing...not stimulating. The sandalwood is obvious, and so is the cardamom! I'm so happy the notes here are as advertised, because I absolutely love cardamom! My initial reaction upon smelling this was - 'Ooooh! Smokey indeed!, the combo of the smoke, sandalwood and cardamom actually give this a vetiver tone, and it's lovely. This is warming enough to be suitable for winter, but really...the entire feel of this fragrance screams "autumn!" to me, specifically mid-late October. It would be amazing on a crisp day with changing leaves. 🍂 ☀️ This is easily unisex (who cares? Wear what you like), and it has a slight resemblance to Santal 33. You might detect a slight pickle tone in this as well, I do, but it's not overbearing and as weird as it sounds...I kinda like it. I think this is worth testing in the Moon Moods sample pack, but it's not a safe blind buy (or maybe it is, it is inexpensive after all), I can forsee some folks not caring for this. It's moderate in both projection and longevity.

This is a unique scent, definitely different than the rest of my collection - I think it's the cardamom note. It smells like warm spice and I find it divine. I do not personally get the dill pickle smell others have experienced and I don't really pick up any florals from the jasmine. This smells like fall to me, like sipping on a chai latte in a corner bookstore while it's chilly outside. However, the longevity is brief, so I do need to reapply this pretty often. It's not expensive though, so I don't mind. I don't understand why they went with "Neon" for the name or the colors - that would imply something bright and summery and this is pretty much the opposite of both of those things.

Smells like hot goth summer. Modern and sexy, but youthful, urban, exotic, and has an oddly green vibe to it. More complex than the rest of the line. The cardamon is distinctive and bold, and reminds me of homemade thai tea with condensed milk. It's a beautiful heavy glass gradient bottle, but I must give my repeated gripe that there's no bottle cap on this line. The scent transports me to an oppressively hot summer night with a dark and mysterious companion who I'll probably never see again but who - in the words of The Cure...makes me feel like I am fun again, young again, and free again.

Sampled this today at Target after reading a bit about it here. I have never smelled Santal 33, so I can't join the comparison game. At first spray, I got the dill pickle smell other reviewers mentioned. Definitely off-putting, because as much as I love dill pickles, I really don't want to smell like one. Thankfully, that opening note is fairly brief as the fragrance moves into warm sandalwood. The drydown is the star for me: really beautiful, sweet sandalwood. I like it a lot.

I’m so grateful for this fragrance because it made me realize that cardamom works with my body chemistry fantastically!!! I love how the sandalwood and cardamom blend together in this, it’s kind of a strange scent. I love it. I don’t detect much jasmine, maybe in the background a little. If you like spice and woods you might like this, but it is somewhat a strange scent, not a safe blind buy unless you’re well acquainted with sandalwood and cardamom.

This is VERY similar to santal 33 but I think leans slightly more feminine. It smells very clean and woody and fresh. The smell is really unique, it almost has something cooling and herbaceous like mint. There is no pickle smell which is amazing! I find some of the fragrance brands at target that are sandalwood forward have that pickly version of it, but this does not.
