The Moon and I is a highly realistic tea-focused fragrance that embodies the essence of brewed mate and green tea, with a subtle woody cadence of cedar. It opens with a strong, earthy, slightly bitter green tea note that evokes the smell of dried tea leaves, potentially reminiscent of Lapsang Souchong or old wooden storage boxes. The scent evolves into a calm, aromatic, and understated layer—light, fresh, and quietly poetic—where matcha and tea balances with a nuanced dry woodiness. It’s a fragrance that feels natural, meditative, and deeply personal, often described as having a philosophical or spa-like quality that enhances introspective moods. Though it carries little sillage and fades rapidly—typically within 30 to 90 minutes—it is prized for its authenticity and delicate presence, making it ideal for intimate settings, daytime wear, or bedtime routines. It appeals strongly to those who relish tea in its purest form and appreciate quiet sophistication over bold projection.
