There is a moon that never fully reveals itself. It shines with a clear, intense light, yet a veil of shadow drifts around it, softening its contours. It is an invitation to look deeper, to lose oneself in the space suspended between revelation and mystery. Luminous Darkness is born here, at the precise point where light and darkness meet, where breath alternates with silence. It is the first chapter of The Sides of the Moon collection: an olfactory dance between two opposing yet complementary souls. Abaton’s Chinotto Dark, with its enveloping balsamic depth, encounters Fior di Chinotto, bright and creamy. It is a dialogue of contrasts—shadow defining light, light sculpting shadow. The opening is vibrant, almost electric: the leaves and peel of green chinotto release a sparkling citrus energy, while juniper adds a balsamic, crystalline breath. Then, like a cloud drifting across the moon, the heart warms and softens into a liqueur-like glow with the velvety notes of wormwood and the profound spirituality of incense. Here the Fior di Chinotto unfolds in all its creamy luminosity, accompanied by the sensuality of tuberose, the gentle caress of jasmine, and the golden sweetness of honey, illuminated by touches of amber and orange blossom. Yet light never reigns unchecked. Patchouli and incense veil the composition in dark shadows, restoring balance. The result is a living fragrance, in constant motion: a continuous oscillation between attraction and distance, clarity and mystery. Luminous Darkness is for those who do not settle for a single truth. For those who embrace their contradictions, aware that it is precisely there—between light and shadow—that beauty is born.
