Moon Carnival

By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is surprisingly bright—bergamot cuts through what could have been heavy sweetness, lending an almost citrus-cologne freshness to the white flowers waiting beneath. Within minutes, gardenia and tuberose emerge, but they're restrained, almost powdery rather than indolic. The florals feel softened, as if viewed through gauze or twilight rather than midday sun.
As it settles, tonka and vanilla wrap around the petals without drowning them. The vetiver adds a subtle earthiness that keeps everything from tilting too sweet or too clean. What results is a white floral that doesn't announce itself from across a room—it stays close, nocturnal, with that oddly carnivalesque quality of something festive worn after dark.
Moon-Carnival suits someone who wants tuberose without the full-throated intensity, gardenia without the soapiness. It's approachable enough for daily wear but keeps a touch of strangeness, like finding confetti in your coat pocket the morning after.
