Cabotine Moon Flower Gres for women

Cedar, ripe pears and smokey incense - who'd imagine how simultaneously soft, woodsy and exotic they'd be together? But work together beautifully they do, indeed, perhaps because of the sweetness of rose that's evident from the start and continues throughout. And I do, happily, get a "sense" of HM's Magical Moon and for this I thank my nose and skin chemistry. Both put me in mind of a favorite summer annual in the Datura family, a flower I know as Angel's Trumpet that blooms only after dark and positively glows in the moon light. Magical Moon is aptly named.

This is a very comforting fragrance that came to me in the cool days of autumn and continues to warm and please me on cold winter days and nights. Goes beautifully with wool scarves and sweaters on which it lasts for days and makes me smile as I wrap up to go outdoors. Since it puts me in mind of Angel's Trumpet though, I suspect I will find it equally enchanting in both warm and hot temperatures, although perhaps in the evenings. Moderate sillage with 8-10 longevity on my skin.

Yes, I'm over the moon happy with this one. In fact, I just ordered my back-up 100ml bottle because these limited editions have a way of disappearing just as I discover how much I love them and wish I'd bought two to begin with.

I have nearly all of the Cabotines and love the gorgeous flower caps & this one does not disappoint with its lovely shade of deep violet.

Light and inoffensive, no note is overwhelming, but I do get a subtle mix of pear, vanilla, peony, sandalwood. Quite sweet, but not cloying. Very pleasant day time fragrance. Blind buy based on reviews here. Love the bottle.

I bought it hoping it will be like Magical Moon (I can't stand the smell of sour, rotten fruit in MM), but no, it has almost no likeness to Magical Moon. It is a light incense with beautiful peony; know what? Imagine heavily watered down John Galliano EDP - that's the closest match to my mind! All in all a pleasant everyday fragrance, can be worn in all seasons, stays close to skin, definitely not a sillage monster, longevity - some 4-5 hours. A successful blind buy!

I had a bottle of Cabotine Moonflower but I sold it. It was my first Gres to know so I can't compare it to other Gres fragrances, but I remember I liked it when I first tried it but it wasn't special or unique, just a nice fragrance, with a light incense (that was good, I don't like incense), pear, all in all chocolatey (milk chocolate) and a bit Noa Perle - like. It's a nice scent when you don't have much money. It has noticeably developing notes, can be worn day and night, has quite a good sillage and lasting power. Pleasant but there was something in it that could feel that is a medium shelf - I guess the ingredients weren't "high shelf".

As a peony lover, I can say that to my nose, this is a wonderful peony-vanilla-incense fragrance! It is sweet and comfortable, in a non-sugary way, and stays close to the skin. The vanilla note is neither dusty nor rubbery, and the base notes are warm and woody. It looks like it might be a powerful scent, but it's light and airy.

I could not detect a synthetic edge to this fragrance, nor could I detect any pear, or much sandalwood (thank goodness!). I did find that when I first tested it in the dead of winter, it was a little sharp. It truly blossoms as the weather warms up!

NLS nailed just about everything I was going to say, but I want to add that this strongly plays out like Hanae Mori Magical Moon on my skin. In fact, at times, I can't tell the two apart, with the exception of MM being stronger & having more sillage. Ironic, since they both have Moon in their names!

Finally got a chance to try Cabotine Moon Flower, and I'm glad I sampled before purchasing. It's nice and I like it, but it's very quiet for a Gres fragrance, and I was hoping for a little more oomph.

The fragrance has decent lasting power but stays close to the skin. A burst of synthetic pear opens the scent, but this fragrance is all about the woody notes on me. There's a sharp pencil-shavings aroma (the cedar?) right away, and it becomes more of a floral woody musk than an oriental as it dries down. Lots of white musk, lots of sandalwood. I couldn't smell the peony as a distinct note.

Pretty, but I'm much more fond of the very loud, sparkling Gres perfumes like original Cabotine, Cabochard, Cabaret or Cabotine Sensuelle. This one creeps in on little cat feet compared to those scents. Nice, but no longer near the top of my wishlist.
