"Inspired by the scent of the mysterious night blooming cereus, also known as the Queen of the Night..."
Supposedly a rendition of "the dark side of vanilla", Cierge de Lune was developed by Fabrice Pellegrin, who's also responsible for many of Diptyque's more recent offerings.
Overall, it's a highly synthetic vanilla scent, with a prominent waxiness, that's along the lines of a lesser version of Givenchy's Organza Indecence or even the ghastly Pi Eau de Parfum. With a floral core, its general aroma is very similar to low-quality benzoin, infused with hedione and some other harsh aroma chemicals.
Providing moderate sillage and reasonable longevity, it smells woefully artificial, cheap and nasty. Undoubtedly, it's the worst Aedes de Venustas release to date and is a complete scrubber.
