KIDA KYOMoonlight

Description Moonlight is a clean, pale chypre: cool pear and green apple over white petals, set on a soft bed of moss. It is No. 03 in the line from KIDA KYO, a house with Japanese design whose perfumes are compounded in Grasse, France, and it was composed by Pia Long . She has said she built it around pear and apple effects to give a very clean, fresh impression, with a watery white-petal and muguet heart and a green, stemmy feel. Nashi pear and green apple open it, jasmine, rose and lily of the valley follow, and patchouli with oakmoss give it the quiet structure of a modern chypre. It reads calm rather than sweet, closer to a night garden than a fruit bowl. Scent Character Floral : 43% Woody : 14% Sweet : 14% Rich Ambers : 14% Fresh : 14% Translation: mostly floral, with the rest split evenly between wood, sweetness, fresh fruit and a darker mossy share. That darker share is the patchouli and oakmoss of the chypre base, not oud. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Green Apple, Nashi Pear Heart: Jasmine, Rose, Lily of the Valley (Muguet) Base: Patchouli, Oakmoss Performance Longevity: Moderate. The mossy base holds on well after the fruit fades. Sillage: Soft to moderate. Projection: Close to the skin after the first hour. An honest note: KIDA KYO designs its line to sit close, and reviews of this 2025 release are still few, so treat these figures as a guide rather than a promise. Best Occasions & Season Best in Spring and Fall, when the pear and moss feel fresh without turning thin. It suits daytime wear, quiet evenings and a dinner for two, and it is clean enough for the office. Listed by the house for women, though the green, mossy base makes it easy for anyone to wear. Skip it if you want a loud fruity trail.

Crisp nashi pear and green apple over jasmine, rose and muguet, drying down to patchouli and oakmoss. Clean and cool rather than sugary. Does it contain oud? No. The darker part of the scent comes from patchouli and oakmoss, the classic chypre base. Is it men's or women's? The house presents it for women, but the green, mossy structure works on anyone. Is it very fruity? Only at first. The pear and apple are bright in the opening, then the florals and moss take over.
