The fruit is the surprise the brand talks about: a juicy, red sweetness that it likens to the fruity scents of hookahs, while saffron adds a dry, warm thread. The start is bright and sweet, but already shaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOlibanum and Turkish rose\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart pairs frankincense, named olibanum, with Turkish rose. The brand describes a warm, refined blend of rose, oud and incense, and this is where rose and incense meet: resinous smoke and a deep, rounded flower. The red fruit gives the whole a sweetness the brand compares to eastern nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOud and leather\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is oud and leather, and the brand specifies natural oud and a leather blend. Together they give a dark, dry finish against which the fruit and rose of the earlier stages are set. It is the deepest part of the scent, and the part that stays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA scent with oud and leather in the base needs space, so apply it sparingly: one or two sprays on the chest or the back of the neck. It belongs to cool, dark evenings and formal occasions. Give it a few minutes on the skin, as the fruit comes first and the resinous heart takes a moment to arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like Middle Eastern perfumery and enjoy rose, incense and oud with an unexpected fruity sweetness. It suits those who want a distinctive evening scent and do not mind a base of leather and oud. It rewards patience, since the fruit that opens it gives way slowly to something darker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Frederic Malle The Moon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulien Rasquinet composed it around a clear poetic idea: the moon as the way Arabic speaks of love. Its sand-coloured carton with Arabic script marks it as part of the collection. The pyramid is easy to read: raspberry, lychee and saffron on top, olibanum and rose in the heart, oud and leather below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat concentration and size is it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is an Eau de Parfum, 50 ml, and with oud and leather underneath it is a rich, dense scent, so a small amount goes a long way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes it contain oud?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Oud is one of the two base notes, with leather, and the brand specifies natural oud. Frankincense and Turkish rose sit above it in the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs The Moon fruity?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has a fruity side: raspberry and lychee on top, and the brand mentions red berries as the surprise in a blend of rose, oud and incense. The base is dark, though, so the fruit is a contrast rather than the whole story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhich collection does it belong to?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesert Gems, the house's tribute to Middle Eastern perfumery composed by Western perfumers.
