## Essence
Up To The Moon is a bright, polished fruity-floral built to feel buoyant rather than complex: blackcurrant, pear, iris, soft florals, and a creamy berry-vanilla-musky base arranged into something cheerful, youthful, and deliberately easy to wear. Whitelisted sources agree on the identity and perfumer credits, and the strongest common thread in wearers reception is that it smells more like a high-end "good mood" perfume than a dense niche statement-pleasant, likable, and pretty, but also vulnerable to criticism that it feels too simple for its price bracket. turn7view2turn23view0
## Scent Profile
The wear arc reported across published coverage and published coverage starts with tart-sweet blackcurrant and crisp pear, brightened by citrus and smoothed by a powdery iris sheen. From there it rounds into a floral heart in which magnolia and rose read more as texture and lift than as big separately legible flowers, before the base turns creamier through raspberry, vanilla, amber, ambrette, and fruity musks. Multiple wearers descriptions converge on "fruity shampoo," "powdery dream," "hair product," and "people-pleaser," which sounds dismissive in some mouths and affectionate in others but is actually useful: this is a glossy, modern fruity-floral with a polished cosmetic finish, not a naturalistic fruit bouquet and not a dramatic niche iris perfume. turn7view2turn4search1
## Performance
Performance looks solid but not extraordinary. published coverage's aggregate scores place longevity and sillage in the good-midrange zone, and both published coverage and published coverage reviews repeatedly mention around a full workday of wear, with eight hours coming up more than once and one published coverage user still getting wafts around the nine-hour mark. Projection seems moderate: enough to be noticed in the air, but not a room-filling beast. The clearest source-backed picture is a fragrance that lasts respectably and trails gently, helped by the musky-sweet base, without becoming a powerhouse. turn4search1turn9search5
## Wearing Context
Everything about the wearers signal points to spring, mild autumn, daytime wear, casual social settings, and low-friction environments like errands, daytime dates, work-from-home, or easy office use. Even positive reviewers frame it as playful, bright, carefree, and approachable rather than seductive or imposing. A practical reading from the profile is that it excels when you want to smell polished and upbeat, and starts to feel wrong if you expect darkness, mystery, or niche gravitas. The main social-perception skew is youthful and conventionally pretty; several reviewers explicitly call it a people-pleaser and a confidence-boosting mood scent. turn9search0turn9search7
## Comparisons & DNA
Reliable comparison evidence is thin, but the few explicit matches that recur are telling. A published coverage reviewer compares it to a more grown-up Britney Spears Jungle Fantasy, while published coverage's similarity engine places it near fragrances such as Ralph Lauren Romance Rosé rather than dense niche florals. The broad DNA is upscale fruity-floral shampoo/cosmetic musk: blackcurrant-and-pear sparkle over powdery iris and a softly creamy berry-vanilla base. That means the best comparison language is not "dupe of X" but "lives in the same territory as glossy sweet fruity-florals with a polished haircare aura." turn9search3
## Reception
Reception is moderately positive but clearly divided by price expectations. Fans praise the blackcurrant, the airy, powdery fruitiness, the easy likability, and the comforting drydown; critics call it basic, shampoo-like, or overly expensive for what it does. The sharpest split is between people who read the fruit-musky smoothness as effortless chic and people who read the same smoothness as mall-luxury genericity. Blind-buy consensus is therefore conditional: safe enough if your taste already runs to fruity, powdery, feminine-leaning unisex perfumes, but risky if you expect The House of Oud to deliver something stranger or more structurally ambitious. turn4search1

## Acquisition Notes
The strongest whitelisted acquisition evidence comes from launch coverage: published coverage's 2020 news report lists Up To The Moon in 7 ml and 75 ml Eau de Parfum formats at launch, priced at EUR 25 and EUR 190 respectively. wearers reception since then repeatedly frames it as expensive relative to how straightforward the scent feels, so price resistance is part of the acquisition story. Whitelisted evidence on counterfeit prevalence, batch-code decoding, or decant ecosystem depth is thin, though the existence of 7 ml official sizing at launch implies a lower-risk entry point than many niche releases. turn10view0
## Notable Facts & Lore
- The documented launch story is more elaborate than the scent itself.
- published coverage's release coverage says Up To The Moon was part of THoO's "From Earth to the Sky" duo project with Get the Feeling, linked to opera singers Nino Machaidze and Guido Loconsolo, and described as one of two fragrances designed to interact as artistic counterparts.
- In that launch framing, Up To The Moon was the brighter, more vibrant, more "cute and energetic" half of the pair, built around Raspberry/Pear Breeze fruitiness and a long-applause amber-vanilla base.
