I see totally no similarity with Chopard Cashmir! No, no, no. That one I just love to bits, whereas this one was a big disappointment..I love the bottle, but not so much the scent – I can get the sandalwood and the pear straight after spraying on, but not the incense and there is something sharp and stingy about this scent that I just couldn`t get used to, no matter how many times I sprayed it on..I bought is as a `sleepover-perfume` to leave at my boyfriend`s place a few years ago, and neither of us ever really liked it..Luckily it was only a small bottle. I ended up spraying it on my clothes or in the room as an air freshener. Pity, because I really like the original Cabotine and a few other versions of it and I`ll stick to that,

I bought this because I love the name and I am a collector so I blind buy regardless.
I find this very strong vanilla, so I couldn’t say I love it, not being a vanilla fan.
However I think it is pleasant enough overall, and a very inexpensive price.
I think it would suit young girls, being light and casual.

Great purchase ! No very expensive.
At 1st pschitt : bergamot and pear, then you can smell incense, sandalwood, vanilla, and finally gardenia and rose. Most of the notes are really present, and by the end of the day this balsamic fragrance still perfumes the skin.
Very feminine, delicate, ruffling my senses.
The lasting power is correct.

So this is quite a new scent. I didn’t even knew it because we don’t get many Grès and Cabotine here. I saw it in a market for a cheap price and I felt very curious.
I tried it only once and I’m glad I did, but this is not really for me. It smells too synthetical, but overall a nice scent for a great price.
I don’t like pear and luckily it’s not too strong.
It evolves to an interesting floral with rose and peony but there is more going on here.
I’m quite sure that it reminds of something already smelled in the past but I cannot recall what exactly.
I think that this is your typical cheap option for a gently spiced-up floral when you don’t want to splurge on expensive ones and it’s still better than many other around.
It has decent duration and sillage becomes closer.
I suggest you test this MM before buying.

I always loved the Cabotine bottles. I won’t lie that I bought this just for the bottle (it cost less than 10 euros anyway). So in the begining I got a blast of roses and a scent from the past. Unfortunately I still cannot define what scent it reminds me. I thought it was just my toilet cleaner or my car perfume, but it seems not. Anyway, fortunately it stopped smelling like a toilet cleaner after half an hour and the roses balanced with the insense. Although the rose, it is kind of a heavy perfume that I am very confused as when to wear it. On the one hand I usually smell rose perfumes during warm days but this has such a strong scent in the beginning, that I might try it on a summer night as well or even a winter evening.
Edit: After some months I found out what it reminds me. So it reminds me a distand cousin of Alessandro Dell Aqua. I guess it is the combination of incense, rose, peony, musk and sandalwood which both share.

This is a nice cheap scent. For me, an old vintage chypre lover, it smells sweet and youthful. Still different and more interesting than the regular everyday flower-vanilla. Note: The sandalwood is strong with this one.
The first minutes i feel a strong bubblegum scent. Is that the peony?
vasyok86 – :
Strong and heavy fragrance, I can mostly smell the incense and sandalwood. I wouldn’t say it’s bad… but it’s not for everyone. I can imagine this on a woman, dressed in black balloon coat, on a rainy October night. Mysterious with a hint of danger. Like if she has a gun in her pocket.

Bottle is beautiful. scent is tricky. it smells different on different people. initially it was so strong but with in few minutes it changed. it’s definitely a night scent. it reminds me of resort or hotel when you arrived in night there. later I had given it much thought. it was not at all spicy or creamy. it’s powdery, haven’t smell rose or sandalwood. incense is there for sure. but interestingly I smell cork tree flowers. if anyone seen and smell Indian cork tree, they know how powerful and strong smell is that. most of people get struck by it. moon flower is exactly like that.

I bought this blind, and so far have tested it once. Overall, my first impressions of this scent aren’t great. The opening was horrid, though the dry-down was pleasant enough. I’ve not quite given up on this scent, and will need to test it again in different conditions to see how it behaves.
EDIT: I tested it again, and the drydown this time yielded “plastic doll head”. Hmm… Again, maybe?

I bought this blindly. I do like it, I actually am attracted to it the more I wear it. It just say “confident woman” to me and yet there’s an indication of a soft side to that woman. I do smell the Peony, the rose and the pear along with Vanilla and whatever else comes along blends pefectly to make an awesome perfume. It smells very rich but not over powering. I feel happy when I wear it and I’m thinking it will remain in my collection. For the price it is well worth the buy!

oh ouiiii!!!! ce parfum me rappelle bien EDT Rochas “lumière”, doux, léger et envoûtant à la fois….

Years ago, my aunt gave me ET Diamonds and Rubies body lotion and I really like the smell. I just bought ET D&R weeks ago and found it a bit “old” and too much spicy in EDT perfume, so I gave it to my aunt.
Then, I blind bought GRES Moon Flower and WOW, it smells Exactly like ET D&R body lotion, that means, Gres MF smell rather like ET D&R with much less spicy and younger and a bit more powdery.
Love this smell, the only thing I don’t like about it is, the sillage is weak. But I bought it at 12,5 bucks, so I think of it as a body spray and have 6+ sprays when I want to get the smell clearly.

Cedar, ripe pears and smokey incense – who’d imagine how simultaneously soft, woodsy and exotic they’d be together? But work together beautifully they do, indeed, perhaps because of the sweetness of rose that’s evident from the start and continues throughout. And I do, happily, get a “sense” of HM’s Magical Moon and for this I thank my nose and skin chemistry. Both put me in mind of a favorite summer annual in the Datura family, a flower I know as Angel’s Trumpet that blooms only after dark and positively glows in the moon light. Magical Moon is aptly named.
This is a very comforting fragrance that came to me in the cool days of autumn and continues to warm and please me on cold winter days and nights. Goes beautifully with wool scarves and sweaters on which it lasts for days and makes me smile as I wrap up to go outdoors. Since it puts me in mind of Angel’s Trumpet though, I suspect I will find it equally enchanting in both warm and hot temperatures, although perhaps in the evenings. Moderate sillage with 8-10 longevity on my skin.
Yes, I’m over the moon happy with this one. In fact, I just ordered my back-up 100ml bottle because these limited editions have a way of disappearing just as I discover how much I love them and wish I’d bought two to begin with.
I have nearly all of the Cabotines and love the gorgeous flower caps & this one does not disappoint with its lovely shade of deep violet.

Light and inoffensive, no note is overwhelming, but I do get a subtle mix of pear, vanilla, peony, sandalwood. Quite sweet, but not cloying. Very pleasant day time fragrance. Blind buy based on reviews here. Love the bottle.
batmax – :
I bought it hoping it will be like Magical Moon (I can’t stand the smell of sour, rotten fruit in MM), but no, it has almost no likeness to Magical Moon. It is a light incense with beautiful peony; know what? Imagine heavily watered down John Galliano EDP – that’s the closest match to my mind! All in all a pleasant everyday fragrance, can be worn in all seasons, stays close to skin, definitely not a sillage monster, longevity – some 4-5 hours. A successful blind buy!

I had a bottle of Cabotine Moonflower but I sold it. It was my first Gres to know so I can’t compare it to other Gres fragrances, but I remember I liked it when I first tried it but it wasn’t special or unique, just a nice fragrance, with a light incense (that was good, I don’t like incense), pear, all in all chocolatey (milk chocolate) and a bit Noa Perle – like. It’s a nice scent when you don’t have much money. It has noticeably developing notes, can be worn day and night, has quite a good sillage and lasting power. Pleasant but there was something in it that could feel that is a medium shelf – I guess the ingredients weren’t “high shelf”.

As a peony lover, I can say that to my nose, this is a wonderful peony-vanilla-incense fragrance! It is sweet and comfortable, in a non-sugary way, and stays close to the skin. The vanilla note is neither dusty nor rubbery, and the base notes are warm and woody. It looks like it might be a powerful scent, but it’s light and airy.
I could not detect a synthetic edge to this fragrance, nor could I detect any pear, or much sandalwood (thank goodness!). I did find that when I first tested it in the dead of winter, it was a little sharp. It truly blossoms as the weather warms up!
Dooxoldorielm – :
NLS nailed just about everything I was going to say, but I want to add that this strongly plays out like Hanae Mori Magical Moon on my skin. In fact, at times, I can’t tell the two apart, with the exception of MM being stronger & having more sillage. Ironic, since they both have Moon in their names!

Finally got a chance to try Cabotine Moon Flower, and I’m glad I sampled before purchasing. It’s nice and I like it, but it’s very quiet for a Gres fragrance, and I was hoping for a little more oomph.
The fragrance has decent lasting power but stays close to the skin. A burst of synthetic pear opens the scent, but this fragrance is all about the woody notes on me. There’s a sharp pencil-shavings aroma (the cedar?) right away, and it becomes more of a floral woody musk than an oriental as it dries down. Lots of white musk, lots of sandalwood. I couldn’t smell the peony as a distinct note.
Pretty, but I’m much more fond of the very loud, sparkling Gres perfumes like original Cabotine, Cabochard, Cabaret or Cabotine Sensuelle. This one creeps in on little cat feet compared to those scents. Nice, but no longer near the top of my wishlist.
