Kilian Moonlight in Heaven Eau de Parfum paints a luminous mango and citrus tableau that feels like a cool night breeze over warm skin. A sparkling duo of lemon and grapefruit glows at the start, dusted with pink pepper, then a creamy veil of coconut milk and rice gathers around ripe mango as the fragrance drifts toward a soft tonka and vetiver finish. The effect is exotic yet airy, a fresh gourmand that whispers paradise without ever turning heavy or sticky.

Story and Positioning
Moonlight in Heaven sits in The Fresh family, where citrus and airy facets are sculpted into sensuous compositions. The brand’s own story frames it as a moonlit escape, with coconut-infused rice and creamy mango wrapped in delicate jasmine and tonka for an inviting yet crystalline aura. If you enjoy refined fresh gourmands, it offers a sophisticated alternative to beachy tropics, often compared with rice and citrus creations such as Etat Libre d’Orange Fils de Dieu in critical write-ups and supported by an official flanker, Moonlight in Heaven Croisière, released in 2018 for a more sun-kissed spin.
Bottle and Design
The Fresh collection is finished in a vibrant Klein blue lacquer with both flanks engraved in relief with the Achilles shield motif, and a polished metal nameplate on the face for a jewel-like feel. Select seasonal presentations render the iconic flacon in transparent glass with gunmetal hardware and a Klein blue brushstroke accent, echoing the scent’s cool tropical light. All formats are refillable for lasting keepsake value.
