What does Moonlight Ceremony smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated very strong, and most voters pick fall and winter, for evenings and nights out. It reads masculine to most, though it stays unisex.
It opens with opoponax, saffron and frankincense, spicy and resinous. The heart of gaiac wood, birch tar, oud and smoked tea builds a smoky, earthy woodiness, softened by sandalwood and patchouli. The base of labdanum, leatherwood and Ambrostar leaves a leathery, animal warmth. Le Labo Oud 27 and G Parfums Alpha have a close profile.
