Maison Martin Margiela Dancing on the Moon EDT

Description

Dancing on the Moon imagines what it would feel like to dance across the moon's powdery surface. It belongs to Margiela's REPLICA Fantasies side of the collection: scents built from dream-like, imagined scenarios rather than lived memories. The brand describes its central “Moon Dust” accord as carrying a cold, metallic opalescence: aldehydes open bright and airy, frangipani and jasmine bloom through the middle, and a musky, ambergris-warmed base grounds it out.
