In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Moonlight by SCARUCCI is a modern oriental floral that mixes cool lavender with a watery melon and berry sweetness, then settles into a soft amber, vanilla and musk base.

Plumeria by Karen Doué is a floral chypre that pairs sweet strawberry with earthy oakmoss. It begins with a bright splash of neroli and settles into a warm, mossy skin scent. Best worn during quiet spring afternoons, this fragrance suits those who prefer close-wearing, natural floral profiles over loud projection.
