Description
Frédéric Malle selected Julien Rasquinet's The Moon as one of the most adventurous additions to his curated house of perfumer-led creations. It arrives under the Frédéric Malle label as a declaration: this is what perfumery looks like when ambition and craft operate without constraint.
The opening of raspberry, lychee, and saffron is characteristic of Rasquinet's approach — fruit elevated by spice until it becomes something more complex, more literary. In the Frédéric Malle context, this wholesale perfume opening carries the full weight of the house's expectation-defying reputation.
Turkish rose and olibanum form the heart. The olibanum (natural frankincense resin) is the fragrance's spiritual centre — incense that does not alienate but instead invites, that smells of ancient trade routes and modern desire simultaneously.
The oud, leather, amber, and patchouli base delivers everything the name promises: something nocturnal, vast, silver-edged, and permanent. For wholesale perfume distribution at the prestige niche level, no Frédéric Malle title delivers more mystery or demand than The Moon.
