Moon Carnival

Moon Carnival by Vilhelm Parfumerie is a refined, soft white floral fragrance centered around tuberose, gardenia, and freesia, with a delicate balance of sweetness from vanilla and marshmallow. It opens with a bright, slightly citrusy burst of bergamot and passionfruit before settling into a sumptuous floral heart. Though some experience it as an airy, romantic scent evoking enchanted gardens and moonlit festivities, others find it reminiscent of vintage Avon perfumes or the clean, softened floral elegance of Tocca Florence. The fragrance has a subtle gourmand base of tonka bean and marshmallow, giving it a pleasant, creamy warmth without being overly sweet or candy-like. On some skin types, the projection is moderate, longevity is moderate to good, and the fragrance fades into a soft, skin-clinging impression. Critics find it somewhat inconsistent—some perceive strong sweetness and marshmallow, while others detect only the florals and feel the signature notes are underrepresented. It leans feminine and delicate, with a gentle, almost ethereal presence that suits spring and summer wear, particularly for daytime or special occasions.
