Desiree CelesteLunar Shadow

Lunar Shadow suggests something dim and mysterious, and Desiree Celeste opens it with fruit instead, bergamot, golden apple and blackcurrant sparking a bright, tart top that belies the name. Patchouli leaves, fir balsam needle and rose settle the heart into something dark and resinous, the shadow arriving here rather than at the start. Moss, soft leather and vanilla close the foundation warm, earthy and softly sweet. That gap between a bright fruit opening and a properly shadowed heart is the whole tension this fragrance runs on. Lunar Shadow Cologne is a fruity woody Eau de Parfum, suited to evening wear and special occasions. Desiree Celeste delayed the darkness the name promises.
