Moaï by La Maison de la Vanille

*****
Year: 2007

Notes: bergamot, coriander, lavender, patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood, musk

Comment: Moaï is part of Les Eaux du Pacifique Collection
Named after the monoliths found on Easter Island, Moaï is a masculine aquatic vanilla, with the typical woody-gourmand heart found in most designer offerings of the same silk, such as Thierry Mugler's A*Men.

When combined with the other listed notes, the lavender emulates a chocolaty accord, with a gritty yet creamy undercurrent. Unfortunately, there's nothing really groundbreaking about the composition, and very little to set it apart from other generic woody-gourmands. In addition, the sandalwood and musk base notes exude a metallic aura that's devoid of any grace.

Both sillage and longevity are rather good.
