Description
“Étoile de Lune by Chaubaud – the luxurious, floral expression of pure femininity, in a night that is full of secrets and sensuality – with the magical pull of the moon and the gentle glow of a star. A touch of bergamot sprays sparkling celestial bodies into the night to prepare an honorable reception for the royal Turkish rose. Topped with beguiling jasmin and gentle orange blossom notes, it rules the night, nestled on a magnificient litter of ambergris and musk.” – a note from the brand.

This is beautiful! Its lush, sweet, fruity, syrupy and floral,
I cannot distinguish what florals exactly, but it is balsamic. The amber and musk are not dominant at all, it is blended very well. It actually smells almost identical to the discontinued Alchimie by Rochas.

I am completely mesmerized by the descriptions of these scents (good job, jbells!). Please tell me they will someday make it to the USA. Pretty please?

Etoile de Lune was love at first try for me. My eyes widened upon application – a wonderful blast of musky purplish red rose, and while this isn’t listed in the notes, I feel like there’s something like a violet in this.
Out of nowhere, it takes a turn and becomes primarily citric, which lends some light freshness to this. A little sour and tangy, keeping it grounded and exchanging some of the initial light-hearted frolicking with a more sober disposition. It is still enjoyable though.
It progresses to a more balsamic jasmine rose. Something that you would inhale and just drift away on the fumes. And then it slowly fades into a musky skin scent that is reminiscent of a star-studded velvet sky.
I’m rather impressed at how well everything is leveled in Etoile de Lune! The balance between florals, greens, citric notes, musk, and balsamic notes is fairly remarkable. At times, one aspect may take center-stage, but it never overpowers the entire perfume. It’s not a powerful fume by any means, or terribly original, but it’s also not a run-of-the-mill floral – feminine but not girly; mature but also projects youthfulness.
Projection could have been better as it mostly sat close to the skin. Lasted about 5-6 hours on me.
