The opening arrives with a luminous burst of peach blossom and bergamot—fresh, inviting, and instantly uplifting. This bright introduction sets the tone for a fragrance that feels both airy and deeply comforting, perfect for those who love florals with transparency and grace.
In the heart, tuberose, gardenia, orange blossom, and peony unfold in soft, layered harmony. These white florals create the emotional core of China Moon, delivering a gently sensual presence that lingers close to the skin—a gentle personal sillage that's meant to be discovered rather than announced.
The base grounds this floral composition with warmth and sophistication: cardamom and vanilla add sweetness, while sandalwood, guaiac wood, patchouli, and Virginia cedar provide earthy depth and lasting power. This sophisticated foundation ensures the fragrance blooms beautifully throughout the day and into evening.
