After Barbershop April it is a time for
some novel compositions, like Moonlight in Heaven. Moonlight in Heaven is the
latest release from the perfume house of By Kilian, and it is composed by the famous
Calice Becker, an experienced perfumer who made most of By Kilian fragrance line.
This fragrance opens with sparkling
grapefruit accompanied by strong, but gentle pink pepper. Soon, the main exotic
notes come in the game – fresh mango and subtle coconut. The most I like about
this is the fact it is not overly exotic nor tropical, and these notes are
extremely well balanced. Additionally, I do sense some yellow flowers like
ylang ylang giving the composition some pale fruity twist, and possibly some
musky notes. The exotic part of this fragrance is enveloped by sweet, but
luminous Tonka bean. The green and gentle vetiver note appears at the end.
Moonlight in Heaven is fresh and clean,
but substantial with many facets. It is not typical fresh, and it has the
special, restrained exoticism and just a touch of suntan lotion vibe. Not
Hawaii nor Caribbean exotic vibe, but some relaxing Asian beach charm. It is
subtle, well-mannered and leaning more towards the feminine side. Moonlight in
Heaven is easy to wear and affable. The Art Deco Poirot-style promotion design
is extremely nice.
I really appreciate this perfume because
it is hard to make a fresh, substantial fragrance with good performances. Moonlight
in Heaven is charming and seductive like the beautiful Asia.
