Moonlight in Heaven

sweet

citrus

tropical

A tropical gourmand by Calice Becker for By Kilian, released 2016: mango, coconut and rice sit over a bright citrus opening before a vetiver-tinged base. The rice note gives the heart a soft, milky texture. Sweet, citrus and tropical accords lead, with a creamy, lactonic edge that softens the fruit. A summer daytime scent, with spring close behind.
