“One night we found ourselves wandering in the light shining with a full moon and, stopping at contemplating, we felt like smelling a scent of wood and flowers…” [travel notes]
A perfume that captures a moment, an emotion, an image, enveloped in the light of a shining moon.
A fresh and luminous departure of Pink Pepper. Then, an olfactory kaleidoscope comes to life that combines a flowery heart of Magnolia, Jasmine and Rose with a base of Cedarwood Virginia and Sandalwood, softened by Cashmeran, Iso E Super and Musk.
The fusion of flowers and soft woods reveals a surprising, refined and magnetic jus. A celebrative fragrance, emotional, evocative, that captures the magic and poetry of the moon…
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close, attentive evenings when the air is cool and the room feels softly lit rather than crowded. It projects a polished, magnetic presence: floral at first glance, then increasingly woody and skin-like, with a sensual edge that stays composed.
How to wear
Best worn in mild to cool weather, where its peppery lift and floral heart can open cleanly before the woods settle in. Two to three sprays are enough for a refined but noticeable trail; on skin it becomes smoother and more musky, while in the air it keeps a luminous, slightly spicy halo.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like floral-woody fragrances with contrast: bright opening, elegant bloom and a smooth, sensual drydown. It suits those drawn to polished niche compositions with a modern, slightly daring edge rather than sheer freshness or heavy sweetness.

The nose
Gian Luca Perris Founder, creative director and nose of Perris Monte Carlo, Gian Luca Perris works in the tradition of family perfumery while keeping a strong focus on modern composition and ingredient quality. His approach is rooted in travel, memory and the tactile beauty of raw materials, which gives his fragrances a polished but personal signature. For Shining Moon, that sensibility shows in the contrast between a bright, peppery opening and a floral-woody heart that feels both airy and intimate. The result is a composition that reads as elegant, textured and emotionally direct, with the kind of balance Perris often seeks between craftsmanship and contemporary wearability.
Collaborators
Gianluca Perris shaped the fragrance both as perfumer and as creative director, guiding the concept from the brand’s moonlit travel-note inspiration into the final composition.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo builds its identity around artisanal perfumery, premium natural materials and a respect for the craft rather than surface-level luxury. The house draws on family heritage and global sourcing, pairing old-world perfumery knowledge with modern research and a clear educational spirit.
Shining Moon’s concept
Shining Moon was inspired by a night walk under a full moon, when the idea of a scent of wood and flowers emerged from the atmosphere itself. The fragrance translates that image into a bright peppery opening, a floral core of magnolia, jasmine and rose, and a smooth cedarwood-sandalwood base softened by musks and modern woody notes.
Extra info
Shining Moon is part of Perris Monte Carlo’s Gold Collection and was introduced as one of the line’s newer additions. Its name and concept are built around moonlight, with the brand describing it as a fragrance that captures a moment, an emotion and an image.
