Mystikum से Moonlight Ceremony 2024 में रिलीज़ हुआ था। इस रचना के पीछे इत्र निर्माता Alexandre Illan हैं। इसमें Olibanum (Frankincense), Opoponax, and Saffron के टॉप नोट्स, Birch Tar, Guaiac Wood, Smoke, and Tea के मिडिल नोट्स, and Ambrostar, Labdanum, and Leatherwood के बेस नोट्स हैं।
Moonlight Ceremony is a Masterpiece of dark fragrances. It combines to me the scent of smoky burnt wood with lapsang suochong, all set into a ambery/oudy base. sometimes a hint of tar comes through and slight spicy note of saffron. It remindes me of hotels in Austria or southern Germany who still use traditional wood stoves and who’s hallways are filled with the delicious aroma’s of sweet and savery food but not in a gourmand or dirty way, but a nice hint. I think it’s a wonderfull fragrance, but I can see that not everyone would like it. But is that necessary? No! It’s a masterpiece because it makes harsh burnt scents smooth and wearable in the most luxurious and decadent way, it’s warm and comforting but it’s also challenging. It evolves beautifully from a first shock to warm and oppulent. Wear it on more cooler days (under 20 C) or in winter.
To me it was a real Proust experience and I’m so greatfull I had the pleasure of having it. It preforms perfectly and lasts all day, it’s not overpowering, but will still be noticed.
