Silver Moon
by Pacifica
Silver Moon by Pacifica is a soft, linear gourmand with a prominent almond-vanilla accord that evokes warm vanilla sugar, sweet Play-Doh notes, and a subtle nutty depth. The fragrance is lightweight, close to the skin, and features moderate sillage and longevity—most users report it lasting around 3 to 4 hours as a skin scent, with slightly better retention on clothing. It shares a striking resemblance to Dior Hypnotic Poison in spirit but leans more toward creamy, balanced sweetness with less of the bitter almond or cloying sweetness. The composition is gentle, inoffensive, and ideal for daytime wear, particularly during autumn and winter. Though it lacks strong projection or long-lasting performance, many appreciate its vegan, cruelty-free nature and affordability.
Pros
- +It's a beautifully polished, affordable alternative to Hypnotic Poison with a lighter, creamier almond-vanilla character.
- +The fragrance is inoffensive, subtle, and suitable for sensitive environments like offices, schools, or healthcare settings.
- +It feels cozy, soft, and comforting—ideal as a bedtime or everyday fragrance for those who like mild, vanilla-based scents.
Cons
- −Most users report extremely limited longevity and sillage; it fades quickly and is hard to detect even after application.
- −The scent is perceived as thin or faint by some, leading to disappointment despite the pleasant aroma.
- −The absence of a cap and the lack of projection reduce its appeal for travelers or those seeking more presence.
