Clair de Lune Antonio Visconti is officially considered a feminine fragrance, drawing from the wood and floral families. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
The sillage is delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. A couple of sprays will carry you through the whole day — longevity is firmly high. Produced in Italy, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Clair de Lune is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Antonio Visconti is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports the right density and pace of development.
In the first seconds you catch radiant lemon-bergamot opening notes: Bergamot, Elemi and Lime. Exactly these 3 notes shape a burst of citrus freshness that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
In the central layer you detect Mimosa and Osmanthus carrying a velvety rose-iris direction.
The stylistic positioning is feminine, which clarifies the composition character. In longevity terms High suggests confident staying power.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Balsamic, Floral and Wood. It also reaches into Gourmet and Whiteflower. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Floral and Wood.
In summary Clair de Lune reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced through real development.
