The Moon by Frederic Malle opens with a rush of dark berries, raspberry, blackberry and strawberry, sharpened by litchi and saffron. Turkish rose, violet and red currant carry the heart, backed by a resinous trace of olibanum. The base is where the drama sits: oud, leather, patchouli, sandalwood and cedar, all softened by warm amber. It arrived in 2019, and men and women reach for it in equal numbers, drawn to a fragrance with real presence rather than something polite. Voters save it for winter, almost always at night, which suits its dark, glowing character. The community vote for longevity settles clearly on eternal, and sillage clearly on enormous, so one spray does the job. A 3ml decant is plenty to find out if it belongs on a winter night out.

The community verdict
The Moon brings raspberry and saffron into rose, oud and leather. Most report exceptionally long-lasting wear and enormous, room-filling projection; go light if you prefer a quieter scent. It suits going out on winter nights best, with autumn also working.
