Moon Phase (29.5) The 1st Night
A new-moon musky spicy ozone in which damp greens, cool ozone, pink pepper and sharp geranium build a taut mood over musk, moss and patchouli.
The 1st Night is the Moon Phase (29.5) fragrance AHRES presents as the scent of the new moon. Its concept, "the awakening dark," starts from a contradiction: a stillness so fragile it seems about to break, and the urge to break it.
The official pyramid opens with leafy green, bergamot, pink pepper and an ozone note, pairing damp leafy green and cool ozone with the fine prickle of pink pepper. The middle holds a watery note, geranium, rose and jasmine; geranium's sharp, herbal edge keeps the flowers from softening the taut atmosphere.
The base is musk, pine tree, moss and patchouli. AHRES says this layer deepens the darkness, and the coniferous pine with earthy moss and patchouli adds depth beneath the cool upper notes. The brand names the result a musky spicy ozone.
The poem shared across the series does not treat wanting as shameful, admits that only beauty makes instinct impossible to resist, and follows true feelings sunk beneath composure as they loosen late at night. Each AHRES scent has an original soundtrack made by an artist, meant to be enjoyed together with the fragrance.
