Description
Zen Moon Essence is a new limited edition of the original Zen from 2007 by Shiseido, which comes out in late summer of 2014. The fragrance is inspired by Japanese culture—the full moon as a symbol of intangible and ethereal beauty. The fragrance is announced as mysterious, luminous and a magnetic contrast of bright flowers of jasmine and magnolia.
Like the original, the new composition is also signed by Michel Almairac. The scent is floral-woody-ambery. It opens with accord of rose accompanied by bergamot, pineapple, grapefruit and pear. The heart captures intense notes of jasmine, magnolia, freesia, tuberose, violet and raspberry. The base wraps the composition up in patchouli, cashmere, white musk, vanilla and amber.
The standard rectangular golden bottle is decorated with tiny shimmering floral ornaments. The fragrance is available as 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

I am Zen addicted. I have Zen, Zen Secret bloom, Zen Moon Essence. The only and the one is Zen, the classical. When the weather turns to hot, I start to wear Secret Bloom, which I feel more “creamy” (I guess because of Tonka beans) or Moon Essence, which is more fruity compared to classical Zen.
Anyway I love all!
Now I bought an oil for hair (Orofluido Zen) and it smells very similar to Moon Essence.

its made for women but actually it is also heavily wore by men. and many friend thought i am wearing a cologne and they are surprised to see that its originally designed for women. its deep floral scent is very low very deep, so deep it is actually good enough for men.

To me it smells like Guerlain L’Instant edp with added patchouli and musk.

What a shame that it’s such a rare gem!
The first spray seems harsh and overpowering, almost “granny goes to opera” style. Luckily this lasts not more than five minutes and then a reward for the patience comes to the surface. What I find very interesting about this perfume is how the base notes emerge along with the middle ones and intertwine in a perfect harmony.
It is a very elegant scent and surely does accentuate one’s femininity and inner strength. Something to rely on for an important event when you’d benefit from some power and ego boosting. Suitable for a special night out as well.
Edit:
Today I tested it again along with the “regular” ZeN. Compared to it, Moon Essence smelled like lipstick to me. On it’s own it’s so amazing but in a direct comparison ZeN won my heart.

It is a fruitier version of Zen, without the depth and the woody warmth of Zen, a little lighter and more wearable in daytime. It is long-lasting- 9 hrs. on my wrists and a very intimate, clean, warm floral scent. Well, to me the drydown is similar, if not the same, to Diesel Fuel For Life Femme.
