PACIFICA SILVER MOON REVIEWS
Fragrantica: "On first smell it's intriguing and soft. It's creamy with vanilla but not overwhelmingly sweet. It is a cozy warm vanilla with just the right touch of almond. The powdery note is stronger than I'd like but still fresh and clean. It could be unisex but leaning more feminine."
Fragrantica: "Cozy vanilla. Very simple but still good."
Fragrantica: "It's so obviously a blend of almond and vanilla but the additional spice notes give it an extra kick. But I was kinda into it! It didn't dry down in any weird way, and the blend held together pretty well without anything being super overpowering. I don't know what occasion or vibe I'd use this scent for, but it was enjoyable!"
Fragrantica: "This is my comfort scent. It’s the fragrance I reach for when I’m sad or overwhelmed. It reminds me of childhood. There’s a playdoh base note that lingers, but it’s cushioned in a bakery-soft vanilla spice. It’s slightly woody, but mostly sweet and almondy. I love it so much and hope it never gets discontinued."

Fragrantica: "A sweet, realistic and dewy passionfruit scent. I think it’s a great perfume for sunny, warm summer days and it’s more refreshing and uplifting than anything else. I think this scent grows on me the more I wear it, but I love to spray this in my hair and around my room (pillows and sheets) for a sweet tropical touch to my days. Great for everyday use and layering! I just wish the projection and longevity was better but I think that’s just an issue with this line of fragrance."
Fragrantica: "So far: LOVE this as I am picky when it comes to tropical fruit notes, wearing it to work today and already feeling chill. Hopefully this wears well in the triple digit heat today."

Fragrantica: "It's a beautiful smell! As someone who is bad at describing perfume via specific notes it makes me think of hay/dry grasses/wood, a smoky bonfire in the distance (but pleasant). There's an overtone of something pungent/herbal and slightly off putting but I can't figure out what it is. It smells like either a spice or a specific kind of of grass maybe? There's a subtle floral sweetness to it from what I assume is black elder flower."
Fragrantica: "I smelled this in store and immediately liked it, but I really fell in love with this when I wore it on my skin. It starts out very sharp and fresh, invigorating and herbal, like a bundle of fresh herbs and pine needles or a soothing spa in the woods. Then it dries down to a very dry, warm, ambery, deeply comforting wood. It reminds me of the wood inside a sauna, or the body of a resin-coated violin. I wore this to a holiday dinner and my friend loved it on me. She was actually wearing Glossier You Doux (the white one) and we both agreed that they smelled similar -- Montana Sky is fresher and more herbal, while Doux is warmer and more ambery. I use it as an every day perfume, and it's great for working in an office or going to the gym. I've already finished half my bottle in a few months and bought one for my mom who loves it too. It smells really expensive and I agree with other reviews saying that it smells niche. If you like woody and fresh scents, more "masculine" and not sweet scents, you should definitely try this."
Fragrantica: "I'm extraordinarily impressed :) minty, herbal opening with a lasting woody note on the skin. it's reminiscent of both vapor rub and incense. i can see how people are saying it's a masculine scent, but to me i see a earthy hippie gal burning cedar incense cones and drinking mint tea in her cozy montana cabin."
Fragrantica: "Wow, this is a less peppery/sharp dupe for Comme des Garcons Wonderwood. Honestly, my favorite part of Wonderwood is the creaminess, and Montana gives that without the pencil shavings that I sometimes get from Wonderwood. Other people saying this hits like a niche fragrance are spot on in my opinion."
Fragrantica: "Pacifica scents are hit and miss with me, but omg, this one! The sage comes through so nicely. Then I get a beautiful breeze of pine needles, then something reminicent of smokiness, followed by a very, very faint elderberry scent. (Done perfectly) It's so good and I can imagine this becoming a favorite! I am ordering a backup bottle because I love it so much. Definately unisex, but I, as a very feminine woman, adore earthy fragrances if done right. This one is it! Rate- 7.5/10"
Fragrantica: "The vetiver, resins and herbal notes create a wonderfully earthy profile. There's a distinct cooling effect that vetiver produces, which is clear here. It's not a light fragrance at all, and it's a little dirty, but it's refreshing too. It's peppery and the note is quite obvious, but its within balance and doesn't become...you know, sneezy. This is just wonderful and I'm so glad to have discovered it! I think I might get a bottle for my husband, I'd like it more on him, although I would definitely wear it myself too."
Fragrantica: "This is such a lovely surprise of a scent. It’s on the masculine side of unisex. It opens sharp and spicy, before drying into an herbal and woods scent. It's an interesting, being somehow both fresh and smoky at the same time. It won’t be for everyone, but I enjoy it."
