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).

This was an interesting buy for me. I sampled it at Target and initially thought it not special and redundant. But by the time I got home from running my errands, I caught a whiff of something sexy, ephemeral and feminal. It took me a few seconds but then I realized it was this fragrance! Immediately, I went back to Target and purchased this. I can see how people could be tempted to make the comparison to HP but to me this frag stands out on its own. The almond does something magical to the vanilla... it makes it brighter, cotton-soft yet complex. I've received many compliments and it hasn't even been a full 24 hours since I've purchased. Both the sillage and longevity are surprisingly impressive for the price.

this was a surprising like for me! first off, i absolutely get the comparisons to hypnotic poison. i don’t own HP but i’ve smelled it several times and while i do like it, something about that perfume kind of turns my stomach. silver moon basically smells like HP to me but without whatever note turns my stomach; it’s a soft nutty vanilla that deepens the longer it sits on my skin. i can’t speak too much to the longevity, but one spray lasted 3-4 hours after i left target so you may want to layer it with a scented lotion to get it to stick around longer. overall, i actually really enjoyed this and will buy the full bottle for this fall&winter season.

Okay, I love this scent. Probably my favourite almond. It's what I was expecting Mix:Bar Whipped Almond to smell like. It is a perfect powdery almond vanilla scent, no floral or cherry or whatever is typically added to almond scents. A beautiful winter gourmand. I will say, though, that it performs a bit like a body spray. You will need between 6 and 8 sprays all over your body to smell this for longer than 30 minutes and not have to smell your wrist constantly. But it's cheap at Target and Pacifica is a great vegan/clean brand so why not??

This is such a lovely scent for the price point. It's very warm and cozy, with a creamy vanilla tucked behind a sprinkle of spice and sweet almonds. The longevity is also decent compared to other Pacifica fragrances, and after several hours of wear, it fades down to a warm vanilla skin scent. Although this is definitely a warm, sweet fragrance, it has a level of sophistication and maturity to it that appeals to a wide variety of ages. This would be a great scent for a date night, or just a cozy fall or winter evening at home.

My new nighttime fragrance. Warm, nutty, vanillary. There is something in this that reminds me just a tiny bit of Lancome La nuit tresor a la Folie, but it is not as romantic, more on the cozy side. I love the beautifully blue bottle but I don’t understand the lidlessness. It makes this non-travel-friendly (although I get the nature preserving factor, but still...) Big plus for being free of some nasty stuff and for being cruelty free and vegan.

Top Notes: White Flower, Vanilla Liquor, Lily Middle Notes: Almond, Tonka, Sandalwood (Santal), Cardamom Base Notes: Vanilla Bean, Musk, Amber I absolutely love this scent. I am big into almond scented perfumes, and this is a good one. Only thing I wish was that it lasts a little bit longer than three hours on my skin and that it project a little bit more but again I’m an over overspray here so I mean I could work around it but it’s beautiful.

This is so cozy and warm, a wonderful spiced vanilla that doesn't smell edible to me at all, but rather just comforting. It really sings on my skin, and every time I catch a waft of it I smile. I immediately went and got the lotion and hair mist to match. I love this scent, and if you want something a bit sweet but mostly comfy and soft this is a great one to try. It's fluffy, not like a cloud but like a fleece blanket.

I love this fragrance! Like others have said it smells like a mix between warm vanilla sugar and hypnotic poison! I put this on my arm at 5:30 it's now 10:30 and I can still smell it as a skin scent. I think overspraying and adding the hair and body mist along with it will help for a larger scent bubble. This will be something I wear often this fall and winter! I am excited to explore the rest of the moon moods line.

my most repurchased fragrance, such great value for money. layers well with almost every other perfume in my collection. honestly, i get what people say about the play doh note. when i first sprayed this on myself in-store that’s exactly what i thought, but then for the rest of the day I couldn’t stop smelling it. it warms up in such a cozy, sweet, spicy way.

It's so obviously a blend of almond and vanilla but the additional spice notes give it an extra kick. But I was kinda into it! It didn't dry down in any weird way, and the blend held together pretty well without anything being super overpowering. I don't know what occasion or vibe I'd use this scent for, but it was enjoyable!

I have the original in the square bottle, which you can still find on ebay. This is my favorite affordable vanilla, and I've tried basically everything around $20-30. It smells like vanilla/ almond shortbread cookies and a touch of spice. It's not complex but it's very pleasant, and I'm really happy with it.

I’m 100% in love. I wear it day and night. I just bought several bottles because I need this forever. Please never stop making this!!!!! I love the warm spiciness. I’ve grown so tired of boring vanilla scents even though they used to be my favorite. This pays so well with my chemistry. I need it forever!

I’m confused why people are complaining about the longevity. I sprayed some on a hand and got whiffs of it all day long and that’s while washing my hands many times in between. Projection isn’t beastly but for the price that’s okay. It’s like hypnotic poison without the play dough effect

It's beautiful. Caps are a waste of plastic. The bottle is easily recyclable and it's a gorgeous color. I would pay WAY more this lovely sweet scent, but don't tell Pacifica that! It's along the lines of Eclix La Perla, Black Opium, and Private Show. Irresistible.

Love this easy-to-wear scent. It's warm and cozy without being cloying. Good value. Pacifica products have yet to irritate my sensitive skin or trigger my fragrance allergy. I've tried many of them and this perfume is no different. Love it
