Pleine Lune is an absolute gem for it’s modest price point.

Picture a soft, petal-like sweet floral scent a la Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy, Le Labo Jasmin 17 or Nishane Hundred Silent Ways and add a dose of matcha tea. It’s a tad greener than the aforementioned Kilian and I get a hint of the tuberose throughout (in a refreshing, floral, non-indolic way).

Pleine Lune wears really smoothly and the florals smell rather natural. The pricing really makes this one worth a second look.
