by Parfums Dusita
Moonlight in Chiangmai by Parfums Dusita is a smooth, aromatic woody fragrance with a bright citrus opening of yuzu and jasmine, balanced by warm spices like nutmeg and earthy notes of vetiver and teak wood. The initial burst of citrus is fresh but not sharp, quickly settling into a rich, resinous base of benzoin, myrrh, and patchouli. It carries a sweet, slightly syrupy character that is more elegant than cloying, evoking a tropical, softly gourmand mood reminiscent of Thai jungles and ancient woodwork. While some note similarities to Baccarat Rouge 540 or BR540 Extrait, particularly in the sweet, aromatic core and resinous depth, it is generally described as less synthetic and more natural in feel. The performance is moderate—not explosive or extremely long-lasting—and projection remains consistent throughout the day, yet it is not overpowering. It's a versatile fragrance suitable for day or night wear, particularly in spring and autumn, with an unisex character that leans slightly masculine due to its woodiness and spice. It is praised for its refined balance, smooth transitions, and emotional storytelling, making it ideal for those seeking a refined, travel-inspired scent with an oriental, woody-smooth character.
