Silver Moon

This would be THEEEE PERFECT VANILLA with a hint of almonds... IF it had better longevity and projection! This scent is divine and really an almost perfect vanilla blend. Really, the scent is great! The scent has a decent scent bubble and projects more for maybe an hour. After the initial hour, it actually lasts a very long time, but it becomes more intimate and a skin scent. I spray all over my clothes and it seems to cling to clothes better than skin. If Pacifica could reformulate this to keep the exact same scent, but make it to where it would project even 3 or 4 hours and project even to my elbows, I would pay $150 for this, maybe even $200! So, I'm still (forever) on the search for my favorite vanilla! 🤣 (((((⤵️ Side note about a different Pacifica vanilla: I also have Island Vanilla by Pacifica. Even though they're different types of vanilla, I'm very disappointed in the blast of alcohol I smell when I spray Island Vanilla and the alcohol smell stays for a whole minute or 2. When the alcohol scent finally goes away, it's an extremely faint skin scent immediately and I have to press my nose to my skin to smell a faint vanilla. If you're on the fence about which vanilla to try from Pacifica, I definitely reccomend Silver Moon instead of Island Vanilla! The hair & body mist of Island Vanilla actually lasts longer (not by much) and smells better than the Eau de Parfum.)))))

This one really grew on me and is currently one of my favorites. The reason why is I don't care for almond notes typically because they always turn sour on my skin, as this did. But I spray this on my clothes and it lasts for absolute ever and stays creamy and sweet. This is a delicious vanilla with the almond being more prominent at the begining. There's a small hint of spice in the background but its mostly vanilla. Its a sweeter vanilla without being super sweet, which I don't mind but know some people don't. This and Dream Moom are outstanding examples or a natural perfume made with essential oils while still smelling like a much a more expensive more conventional perfume. The other ones in the moon line give me body spray vibes but this and DM are outstanding and I wear them as much if not more than my $100 ellis brooklyn scents. Silver moon as reminds me of Dulce by Rosie Jane. They're not dupes because of the almond note but the vanilla base is very similar. This last longest on clothes but I do find myself reapplying a 2nd time during my day. Thats normal though with natural perfumes because they do not contain some very toxic components that make traditional perfumes last. I can smell this on clothes days later though. Overall for the price this is a 10/10.

This was a blind purchase, based on reviews saying it has similarities to Dior HP. Dior HP is probably my all time fav scent that I have been searching for something similar but not exact match to for years. I am very happy with this frag! It is not a dupe for HP, however it has a very similar feel to me. The gourmand and non-floral coziness and snuggliness of HP does exist in Silver moon, and that makes me so happy! I keep spraying and sniffing myself and smiling, which is rare for me. Usually I feel sort of let down and left wanting with most new frags I try. Silver Moon is like HP at its heart, but less complex, more linear. It has stronger vanilla and heliotrope / clean laundry notes than HP. But the overall vibe is very close. I do wish Silver moon had slightly more almond bitterness to offset the sweet vanilla. overall I am really loving Silver Moon. I don't really like the name and packaging and lack of a lid but that is something I can overlook because of the affordability and similarity to my fav Dior HP. I don't know why it is listed as unisex, for me this is very femme. If you like vanilla and Dior HP you will probably like Silver Moon. for what its worth my daughter said it smells like sunscreen, which I don't really relate to.

I previously had Dior Hypnotic Poison and I loved it but soon the play dough note became too much for me to use it on a regular basis. When I saw some reviews of Silver Moon I decided to sample it and I was super surprised! The almond vanilla scent was very spot on to Dior Hypnotic minus the play dough smell. It smells like a powdery almond, vanilla, and slightly spiced just as described. I very soon got the full bottle! I was taken aback because it doesn’t include a cap for the spray so just be warned it can spray out easily in transit. Also it doesn't have a lot of depth to it and doesn’t last for too long, maybe 3 hours or so on me, but for the price it is a really lovely scent that I feel I can use everyday without being tired of it! It is just a pleasant everyday smell that is a wonderful price and from a great brand! And they have a hair mist too! ☺️

Smell is so subjective and that’s why you have to test it out for yourself. When I read the reviews on here, I just knew I wasn’t going to buy this. But I went to target and tested it out and wow!!! This smells beautiful. The almond and spices are so pronounced and smooth. If a niche house made this juice I guarantee everyone would swoon over this. This doesn’t smell like Hypnotic Poison to me. HP smells like black licorice and vanilla in the opening and play dough in the dry down. This doesn’t smell like licorice or play dough! Oh, and longevity was surprisingly really good. It lasted on my wrists for 8 hours and I washed my hands multiple times. It projects very well and lasts on me all day. My only issues is that it’s expensive considering you’re paying $25 for 1oz & Pacifica’s perfumes don’t come with tops (I’m being picky but it’s my preference).
