Moonage Daydream
Lavender opens Moonage Daydream with a cool, camphor-edged sting that slices through grapefruit’s bitter pith and neroli’s honeyed zest, already underpinned by galbanum’s raw, snapped-stem bitterness.

By the editors · 2 min readLavender opens Moonage Daydream with a cool, camphor-edged sting that slices through grapefruit’s bitter pith and neroli’s honeyed zest, already underpinned by galbanum’s raw, snapped-stem bitterness. The heart swells with black currant’s tart, cassis-jam thickness, its tannic edge dovetailing into amber’s labdanum-rich glow so the accord reads like dark berries simmered over low heat. Tonka bean lands early in the dry-down, shedding a soft, hay-like coumarin that blankets sandalwood’s creamy planks while oakmoss keeps a dry, mineral lift that stops the base from sagging into sweetness; skin-close musk acts as sheer lining rather than statement. Projection stays polite, wafting maybe a forearm’s length for four-to-six hours, ideal for spring office days when you want aromatic freshness without citrus cliché.
