In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Silver Moon opens with sweet vanilla and a touch of boozy liquor before soft white lily settles in. The heart brings warm almond, powdery tonka bean, and a dash of cardamom on skin. It dries down into cozy musk and gentle amber, making it an easy companion for chilly evening walks or bedtime relaxation.

Reviews →
