Mooncake - Eau de parfum

Mooncake by d’Annam translates the iconic Mid-Autumn Festival treat into an olfactory experience of remarkable balance where golden syrup’s caramelized warmth meets the savory depth of salted egg yolk, tempered by the earthy smoothness of mung bean and lotus seed.

This fragrance masterfully captures the gourmand complexity of the traditional pastry without tipping into excess.

d’Annam Mooncake Eau de Parfum

The opening reveals a rich, amber-hued syrup accord, its caramelized facets evoking freshly baked crust. At its heart, the salted egg yolk unfolds with a velvety, almost buttery texture, its umami undertones perfectly counterbalanced by the nutty creaminess of mung bean and the delicate powderiness of lotus seed. A whisper of honey and vanilla in the base adds persistent warmth without overwhelming sweetness.

Mooncake demonstrates exceptional perfumery craftsmanship in its ability to render edible notes with sophistication. The result is a gourmand fragrance that transcends its inspirational source, offering wearability and depth.

Why We Love Mooncake

For its innovative approach to gourmand perfumery, where traditionally challenging notes like salted egg yolk are rendered with elegance.

The perfumer has achieved a rare balance between edible realism and abstract sophistication, making it equally appropriate for daytime wear as it is evocative of festive traditions.
