Frederic Malle Der Mond

THE MOON, a composition of oud and red fruits, is a tribute to the moon, created by Julien Rasquinet for the Desert Gems collection.

In the Middle East, the moon dictates the rhythm of life. Veiled, unveiled: its clear glow marks the beginning and end of all celebrations. In the Arabic language, too, the moon is invoked as a declaration of love. There is no sweeter, more subtle way to profess one's love, to praise the beauty of a beloved, and to vow eternal fidelity. THE MOON, a lush, warm, and sophisticated composition of rose, oud, and incense, holds one more surprise: an abundance of blackberries and redcurrants. The magic of these red berries with their soft and colorful scents evokes the fruity aromas of hookahs and the sweetness of oriental nights.
