Blue Moon

1. Very clean, cool and musky. The citrus quickly fades to leave only the musk remaining on my skin. It reminds me of being outside on a crisp night under a full moon. It’s quite non-offensive and would be great for someone that loves musk but alas not the right scent for me.

2. Not sure what’s wrong with me, but I don’t get any citrus from this. On me is smells like tomato leaf, or maybe celery? It kinda reminds me of that green leafy scent of walking around in a veggie garden or greenhouse. Definitely not a bad scent, but not what I was expecting at all.

3. First whiff, this is all about that citrus. It’s grapefruit-forward but backed by the lime and neroli (reading deep and viscous orange). So, it’s nuanced and that’s interesting. It’s a cascade of sour citrus fruit. Sorta reminds me of Guten Morgen, but a bit darker/ heavier. I liked GM but found it somewhat boring, so I’m interested to see where this one goes… until the musk and night air come through on my skin. Oof. This is kind of like ultra-fancy Clorox wipes on me now. Totally not what I want to smell like… it’s the best version of a cleaning product I’ve smelled, I guess? Like seriously, I would be happy to have this be the default “citrus” smell of all my cleaners. I don’t know what else to say. This is 100% not for me. That blue musk is spectacularly not jiving with my nose the longer it sits. It’s almost a little skunky… with cleaners applied to hide it. It’s vaguely reminding me of when people try to douse Febreze on their clothes to cover B.O. Yikes. That association in my brain kills it completely. The extreme dry down trends back towards grapefruit. It’s less offensive, but I can’t deal with the other phases. Still a big nope, nope, nope from me.

4. Juicy grapefruit, bitter lime zest and neroli backed by a crisp, almost aquatic blue musk that’s reminiscent of a cool summer night. I like this a lot. It’s fresh, classy and sensual. Very unisex. It reminds me a bit of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino

5. This smells like twilight, of clean skin at the end of a day spent on the beach, or a luxurious bath at an exlcusive spa. The blue musk is mildly aquatic; I swear I can hear waves lapping the sand. The night air accord brings a slight hint of musk, it has a a warmth to it didn’t quite expect, but it feels like summer. I swear I can feel the air, hear the sound of leaves whispering as the breeze carries the aromas of grapefruit, neroli and lime peel. I wouldn’t say this is tropical, those notes add a headiness that again reminds me of summer, strolling under a moon by a promenade.

6. If your first instinct upon application is that the grapefruit is overpowering, just give it 15 mins, that quickly fades into the background and becomes the most amazing still citric but fresh musky yumminess with the longest wearing time of any of the Hex scents I’ve tried today.
