The Olfactive Composition
Main notes: Golden syrup, salted egg yolk, mung bean, lotus seed, honey, vanilla

The Signature of Mooncake
Golden syrup and honey give a glossy sweetness, while salted egg yolk adds a surprisingly savoury, creamy note. Mung bean and lotus seed bring a soft, powdery filling. Vanilla rounds it off warmly.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Mooncake is the boldest gourmand from d'Annam, and we have a soft spot for it. Salted egg yolk sounds odd, yet in practice it keeps the honey from ever turning sticky. The result smells like a Hong Kong bakery on an autumn evening, with lanterns in the street. We recommend it to adventurous gourmand lovers tired of standard vanilla. The powdery lotus makes the drydown soft and skin-like, a lovely moment after a few hours.
