Moonstone Bleu by French Avenue – 1ml Sample Inspired by Sartorial by Penhaligon’s (classic metallic fougère with a modern twist) Moonstone Bleu is an exceptional modern fougère that blends old-world tailoring with futuristic freshness. Inspired by the cult favorite Sartorial, this scent opens with a striking metallic-aldehydic sheen, then unfolds into a refined, slightly sweet herbal heart before settling into a warm, musky, resinous base that feels both clean and sensual. It’s the smell of crisp linen, polished metal, and warm skin — sharp, elegant, and quietly addictive. Fragrance Experience Opening: A cold, electric burst of metallic notes and aldehydes crashes over watery accords, cracked black pepper, and aromatic cardamom, creating a clean, sharp, almost steamy effect — like pressing hot fabric in a modern atelier. Heart: The fragrance softens into a complex fougère core of lavender, beeswax, and lime, wrapped in smooth leather and airy cyclamen. This stage is creamy, floral, and subtly animalic — balancing barbershop freshness with couture warmth. Dry Down: A rich base of white musk, honey, oakmoss, patchouli, woods, cedar, tonka, vanilla, amber, gurjan balsam, and myrrh creates a deep, resinous finish that is warm, masculine, and endlessly refined.
