Magical Moon (for women)

Awful-very strong, heavy on the patchouli-the initial notes kill whatever good might come of it.This is one of those fragrances to avoid if you want to appreciate the "oriental" family of fragrances.

I love this fragrance. It's sweet yet mysterious, lush and sensual yet breezy and playful. Vanilla gives it warmth and musk and incense give if a sultry, seductive quality. I'm very lucky that the dry down is great on me.

I imagine myself under a beautiful full moon with the resplendent Taj Mahal shimmering on the horizon. A cool evening breeze carries the romantic and sensual fragrance captured in Magical Moon.

For the first hour or two, I would have classified Magical Moon one as a fruity-floral instead of an oriental floral. The oriental notes take a litle time to emerge, during which time I wasn't impressed with the fruits and flowers. It goes on very sweet, and while it was not unpleasant, it didn't seem the least bit original or interesting at that point.

Howevever, I do like the dry-down better, and it truly takes a couple hours to get going. I detect incense, vanilla, maybe a bit of tonka bean (though that is not listed as a note here), some sandalwood. It was still a bit sweet, thanks to the coconut, but with a bit more mystery now to hold my interest.

I have just a sample vial and I think I'll probably stop there. I'm not sure I like the dry-down well enough to put up with those boring fruity top notes. Nice, but nothing special.

dont like this one at all. On my skin it smelled like rotten pineapple mixed with cream. I had to scrub my hand

Mysterious... this is one of the best oriental fragrances. Really magical.

I received it in a Parfum form, at last...What can I say. I'm thrilled! I'm in love! At last, an unsniffed purchase that was better than I could ever dare to imagine. Everything with it is so perfect. I received this a couple of hours ago, so maybe I will need to edit my review later!

The bottle is the most beautiful I've ever seen, so much more in reality than in pictures. It has a beautiful violet-blue colour and silver letters. The cap is fantastic, a jewel on its' own.

I agree that when first sprayed it gives the impression of an old lady scent, or bug spray. But the good thing is that these top notes disappear rather quickly, giving place to a wonderful fumey, exotic,sweet balsmanic scent. As lovely as it sounds!

In the background I can feel the incense, warm and smokey with a wonderful sweetness, and also I can feel wood notes.

The coconut is also quite dominant .My skin tends to bring out coconut notes, and let me tell you, I haven't smelled such a good quality of coconut in a perfume - so milky, exotic and tender. Maybe it's the combination with the sugar, who knows?

Finally I can smell herbal notes drifting in and out at times, that give the perfume another dimension, really magical.

It's more of a nighttime scent, but I can see my self wearing it in small doses the cold days of winter..

Edit: my complain is the poor lasting power for a parfum.. Only 3 hours... :-( Well, I'll have to take it with me everywhere I go!

i smelt this at macy's and i quite liked it...it's very fruity on the first spray, but after that it sort of blends into a mysterious, warm scent...sort of hard to describe but i think it smells very romantic and feminine. it fits the name and bottle perfectly.

It's very magical. I think - smell like moon, big moon. And like old white vine.Woww

If you almost love Lancome's Hypnose and find it slightly too sweet & cloying...this is a better version (IMO) and it's even more affordable. As has already been pointed out, there really are so many phases to it. I get fruity, flowery, woody, musky, and then the cycle starts all over again. Staying power is great on me - lasts all day!

Bouquet

Perfumaniac, I tried both the EDT and the EDP; the EDT is not very long- lasting, but the EDP is fine.

This is a nighttime glamorous scent. NOT for work or casual occasions, but for when you want to feel like a diva.

I read mixed reviews on staying power:
VIOLETTEVIRIDIAN claims the scent dissapeared within 2 hours and JULIETTE HAS A GUN says in her review it does last for many hours.
So which one is it?

violetteviridian

I am so disappointed. I loved! the way this smelled in the bottle and on me at first. But for some reason it completely disappeared within 2 hours of putting it on! I am serious! No detectable scent whatsoever. I thought maybe it was just me- maybe I couldn't smell it but perhaps someone else would... so I asked several people and only confirmed that the scent had 'left the building' as it were. Not a drop of aroma survived on my skin. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Neitchivo. BOO!

Very sweet bottle - adorable. Extremely strong scent, it does last for many hours. Unfortunately, I do not like the topnotes, too fruity in a way, but the drydown is quite nice. Not very original, this kind of fragrance is available in many other forms from other brands...- but if you love pretty bottles, this one is a MUST for your collection.

I have to tell you that the very first note of the perfume, overwhelmed me, not in a good way and I went: Oh, NO! Too fruity - spicy for my taste. Fortunately it changed to this sexy and sultry scent that make me cry: YES! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED! The flowers charged at me, after which a woody warm sweet note descended on me. So, if you give it a little time, you will get that wonderful perfume that Aeternitas described so well.
What I really liked is that this perfume transformed while I was wearing it. It went from fruity to floral, from floral to woody and from woody to gourmand. Like the moon and its phases.

Ohhhh...I ordered Magical Moon without trying it on first and was worried that it will not be something I expected.But it turned out to be a magic in a bottle! It is definitely a perfume with a little bit of potion in it.Though it is very sweet and luscious, there is a certain bitter note in it - may be it`s juniper, that doesn`t let it become yet another dessert perfume. Instead of sweet tooth thoughts, I see a valley under a full moon,aromatic herbs and flowers galore,some secret witch celebration of the moon power,where their potions and balms are being made right there, over fire pits.Juniper note I see as a circle of tall dark cypresses surrounding the valley.
I honestly have a warm sensation on my skin when wearing Magical Moon - what else can it be other then magic?

Aiona

Not for me. I tried the EdT today. The first spray was overwhelmingly fruity. WOO-EE! Sharp and fruity. Perhaps it's the starfruit, or maybe the litchi, or the pineapple, or the combination of all three. Supposedly it dries down to a more woody smell or incense-y smell after a while, but I just couldn't wait for that bus. I had to scrub after 30 minutes. It really is a fruity gourmand, so if one likes gourmand scents with plenty of fruit at the table, I think this would be a good choice.

wildflower

Sounds great! I have to get a sample of it.. or the hole bottle!

Aeternitas

Wow. I tried this for the first time and it's a new perfume on my top 5 for buying. The notes blend together so well. It's beautiful and sensual. Sweet, warm, intense, mysterious, and especially romantic. I'm taken over by the sandal wood in it, it's absolutely amazing. Smoky and seductive. I would say this is an occasional wear, nice night scent.

The EDT is the sweetest. (My least favorite) While the EDP seems to be a bit more woody. The Parfum is darker with more incense. (My favorite) Upon first spray you get a bug spray smell, but within a few minutes it is sensual and dark. I receive many compliments on this one, but I wouldn't dare spray and run out. Magical Moon needs a few minutes before her mystery begins to unfold.
