Discovering the Fragrance
MetaScent Fleur de Lune is a unisex eau de parfum released in 2020.
The fragrance is part of the MetaScent Fleur Collection and explores a floral theme through fresh citrus nuances, gentle spice, and a warm musky-vanilla base.
This release was created for those who do not want to choose a fragrance according to strict gender rules.
Fleur de Lune has an expressive, modern character and is versatile enough to fit naturally into both women's and men's fragrance wardrobes.
The MetaScent Style
The MetaScent brand emerged in 2018 and quickly established itself as a fresh voice on the Australian perfume scene.
For Fleur de Lune, the balance between its radiant opening and denser, more sensual development is especially important: the composition is not limited to light florals but gradually gains depth.
Its olfactory profile combines floral, citrus, white floral, green, spicy, musky, and gourmand nuances.
This combination makes the fragrance multifaceted: it may seem airy at first encounter, but then reveals noticeable sweetness, creamy softness, and a warm trail.
Development and Character
Fleur de Lune opens with bergamot, mandarin, and neroli. The citrus accord feels fresh and luminous, while neroli adds a transparent floral quality.
As it develops, the composition becomes more elegant and expressive, moving into a floral heart with nuances of freesia, narcissus, rose, and saffron.
The base is soft but far from subtle: ambrette, vanilla, and musk create a warm, slightly sweet drydown.
As a result, Fleur de Lune feels less like a simple daytime bouquet and more like a complete perfume statement with a distinctive personality.
Sillage and Wearability
According to the product card, the fragrance has very strong sillage, so Fleur de Lune should be applied with its high projection in mind.
It is suitable for evenings, special occasions, cool weather, and situations when you want the fragrance to linger in the memory of those around you.
Exact recommendations for applying this release to skin and clothing are not provided.
A practical approach is to start with a small number of sprays and assess the intensity after 15–20 minutes, once the citrus opening gives way to a richer floral and musky-vanilla character.
The Perfumer and Similar Fragrances
The composition was created by Huynh Hai Yen.
In Fleur de Lune, her work shows a clear desire to combine the freshness of the opening notes with an expressive base, allowing the fragrance to maintain a balance between lightness and intensity.
If you are interested in a floral composition with character, you could try Lancôme Poeme for comparison.
Giorgio Armani Si Eau De Toilette and Dior Tendre Poison are also suitable for further exploration in this direction, although Fleur de Lune stands apart through its own combination of neroli, saffron, ambrette, and musk.
