This is a very beautiful, sophisticated and unusual perfume.
I absolutely adore it.
Different enough to be noticed, and so balanced and pleasant it could be worn in conservative environments, Magical Moon is well mannered yet exotic, and mysterious..
It is warm, smooth, creamy, slightly sweet and well blended.
For the first hour or so, it is pretty strong, the drydown is so beautiful, slightly powdery, and it lasts a lot longer than many other fragrances.
I use the EDT.
I can smell just the right amount of coconut, orange, musk, incense, amber, a touch of vanilla and some other nice scents I don't know the names of.
To me this is the scent of a warm, sensual, elegant and slightly alternative woman who is probably over 30.

oh yes indeed this is magical!!! this is incense, sugar and creamy milkiness and some juicy red fruit--guava???
along the lines of lolita, kenzoflower and addict in terms of sweet delicious creamy, incense type of juice.
the bottle is exquisite--a thick slab of cobalt blue.
i did buy the toilette on this one, but it is rich, thick and lasting. i think the parfum would be the sweetest thing of them all.

I feel late to the game, but I only recently tried Magical Moon. I'm not sure why I overlooked it before. maybe it was the description of notes. I occasionally enjoy florientals and some fruity florals,but I'm very picky about my fruit notes - they have to be just right and there are so many listed in this one that I let that (along with the fact that original Hanae Mori was too sweet on me,) scare me away.
Magical Moon is creamy and sultry with a sophisticated kiss of sweet.As others have said, this is a romantic scent that would be wonderful for an evening out (or in, as it were.Something about this is seductively cuddly.) There is a great use of incense and woods in Magical Moon that is neither too dry nor too intense. This is a well-balanced, long lasting, sensuous delight!

I really expected to like this one. I LOVE the bottle, and the description sounded intruiging, yet once I actually put it on, I quickly decided this one is not for me. It smells mostly of incense, with a hint of flowers, and a sort of baby powder aspect. It is a very mature fragrance, one that I would not expect to smell on anyone under the age of 40. For an older woman it could be quite nice, but for me at 22, it is just stuffy. I do not smell much coconut, much to my dissapointment. Worth a try, but not for someone of my age.

an older ount shouldn't wear this I guess @ by tlc0717 )haha
I've tested the edp and I think this is a really extraorinary special scent (and I've smeelled quite a lot untill these days)! if the moonlight would smell this would be exactly what you are especting from a full moon summer night. it's light, silky, milky, sparkly, transparent, sweet at first starting with coolness, then after a while turns together with a warm trail of the basenotes without loosing the sweetness of the milky fruity-flowery topnotes. the scent is quite exotic 'cause of the coconut milk I guess, but otherwise it's rich and elegant without beeing voluptous at all.

you will be able to stay in the background wearing this 'cause it's not overpowering at all.

only point disapponting: beeing an edp it does not long lasting enough for my taste; at least it does not on my skin :(

Magical Moon is a wonderful addition to Hanae Mori's fragrance line. I agree with the other positive reviews here: this is a complex, rich fragrance that reeks of sophistication and mystery. A must try if you like florientals. Stunning bottle.
