Magical Moon is the latest perfume launch by
the grande dame of Japanese haute couture, Hanae Mori. The name of the perfume is said to be inspired by a
flower harvesting ritual that takes place according to an ancient lunar
calendar. The festival of Tsukimi or moon-viewing and the
representation of a rabbit to be found in the moon reveal enduring
beliefs in the magical character of the moon in Japan. The Nordstom
site tells us that either in reality or in a dream or perhaps in an
atmosphere evoking a little bit of both "Magical Moon was blended in a vat lined with blue moonstone. It was bottled under a full moon." It specifies that "Hanae Mori celebrates the rising of Magical Moon, the first fragrance whose creation was ruled by the moon..."
Magical
Moon manages to use sweet comforting notes such as sugar cane,
cotton flower, and tropical fruits and to give them a sophisticated and
refined aura thanks to the very fine textures of the incense and
sandalwood. The perfume conveys a message of refinement both for the
senses and the mind through appeal to the dual quality of notes like
sandalwood and incense evoking both sensuality and contemplation.
Notes
are: Osmanthus Flower, Rose, Sugar Cane, Cotton Flower, Coconut Milk,
Vanilla, White Musk, White Sandalwood, Red Cedar, Incense, Litchi,
Patchouli, Pineapple Pulp, Guava Nectar, Star Fruit, Orange Flowers and
Pink Berries. Magical Moon is an interesting must try....
