Details

What it Is: An exclusive collaboration between RMS Beauty and LA-based natural fragrance experts Heretic Parfum—who are known for their radically transparent, naturally-derived, and non-gendered fine fragrances. Scarlet Moon is a luxury plant-based eau de parfum inspired by the midnight walks Rose-Marie often takes in her favorite city of Savannah, Georgia, under canopies of Spanish Moss trees illuminated by a voluptuous scarlet moon.

What it Does: Scarlet Moon is a gender-neutral scent that is versatile and intoxicating, easily transitioning from day to night with notes of vibrant rich Blood Orange, lush green Violet Leaf, and woodsy Japanese Hinoki. Created with naturally-derived botanical ingredients, it acts as a functional fragrance with aromatherapeutic benefits naturally found in the raw extracts it’s composed of. Uplifting Blood Orange brings feelings of joy and creates a sense of well-being, while verdant Violet Leaf and calming Japanese Hinoki inspire feelings of groundedness and comfort.

What Makes it Special: Deeply mysterious, steeped in tradition, and laced with magic, this alchemical elixir blends a bright top chord of rich Blood Orange, bitter Petitgrain, and tantalizing Italian Mandarin. The sparkling top chord gives way to the verdant beauty of Violet Leaf. Sticky Galbanum resin blends with bright Fir Needle and cracks of feisty Black Pepper. The base of Scarlet Moon is built with exotic Hinoki wood and lush Cedar creating a feeling of nostalgia, warmth, and comfort. Using ancient perfumery traditions this handcrafted fragrance surpasses all industry standards of “clean” with its plant-based ingredients blended in organic, non-GMO sugarcane alcohol—no phthalates, no parabens, no synthetic dyes, no formaldehyde, vegan-friendly, and cruelty-free.

SKIN-LOVING CLEAN INGREDIENTS

Naturally-Derived Fragrance

Sulfate-Free
Phtalate-Free
Paraben-Free

Blood Orange

Crisp and effervescent with fresh, juicy sweetness.

Violet Leaf

Lush and earthy with floral sophistication.

Japanese Hinoki

Rich, woodsy, and smooth with a touch of spice.

A traditional or synthetic fragrance is created using mainly manufactured molecules that mimic the aromas we all know.

A clean fragrance discloses their ingredients and is typically created with safe synthetic materials, while only having a few natural ingredients or sometimes none at all.

A naturally-derived fragrance like Scarlet Moon is a rare practice in the fragrance industry due to the high cost and lack of availability, as it comes from a natural source. Synthetic fragrances do not contain the rich "molecular soup" that essential oils do and therefore are considered cosmetic. Naturally-derived fragrance materials contain hundreds of aroma molecules that can affect the mind, body, and spirit making it a true functional fragrance with aromatherapeutic benefits. A good analogy is a synthetic fragrance being akin to an apple-flavored candy. The candy may taste good but there are no nutritional benefits. A naturally-derived fragrance is like eating a fresh apple, it tastes good and you get all of the nutritional benefits.

It is a joyous grounding scent laced with magic. The alchemical elixir blends a bright top chord of rich Blood Orange, bitter Petitgrain Heart, and tantalizing Italian Mandarin. The sparkling top chord gives way to the verdant beauty of Violet Leaf, while sticky Galbanum resin blends with bright Fir Needle and cracks of feisty Black Pepper. The base of Scarlet Moon is built with exotic Hinoki wood and lush Cedar creating a feeling of nostalgia, warmth, and comfort.

Blood Orange: Crisp and effervescent with fresh, juicy sweetness.

Violet Leaf: Lush and earthy with floral sophistication.

Japanese Hinoki: Rich, woodsy, and smooth with a touch of spice.

You can expect Scarlet Moon to last for three to four hours, as naturally derived fragrance materials do not have the same longevity that synthetic fragrances do. Natural perfuming materials are a by-product of the plant whereas synthetic aroma-molecules are engineered in a lab and designed to be intense and long lasting. We recommend applying Scarlet Moon to clean, dry skin on the clavicle, wrists, back of legs, and into dry hair. Toss it in your bag and regularly reapply throughout the day allowing it to be part of your daily rituals, lifting your mood and connecting you to mind, body, and spirit.

A functional fragrance has aromatherapeutic benefits naturally found in the raw extracts it’s composed of. Because Scarlet Moon is created with naturally-derived botanical ingredients we can speak to the aromatherapeutic benefits of the essential oils and their functionality.

Blood Orange, Petitgrain Heart, and Italian Mandarin: All function to alleviate stress and create a sense of happiness and wellbeing.

Galbanum: Is grounding

Black Pepper: Helps with focus and motivation.

Fir Needle: Helps with focus, motivation, and wellbeing.

Violet Leaf, Japanese Hinoki, Cedar Leaf, & Virginia Cedarwood: All function to improve a sense of wellbeing and encourage feelings of groundedness.

Reviews

Gorgeous sparkling fresh scent

"The description of this perfume in the product summary is spot on. It's bright and sparkling and grounding all at the same time and it’s all I want to wear this summer. It’s not at all “perfumey” and not just a copycat of other fresh scents out there. What a great collaboration - Rose Marie and Heretic - thanks so much for making a gorgeous clean fragrance! I hope you do another!!"

— Laura (5/5)

The best clean fragrance!

"This is such a wonderful scent. I received a small sample maybe a year ago and have thought about it since. It's grounded, but just slightly fruity and sweet. It's not too feminine, but not masculine, either. It's hard to put into words, but it's great. For someone who is sensitive to scents and is very strict about clean beauty standards, this one hit all the marks!"

— Emily C. (5/5)

Pleasantly surprised

"I got the sample size just out of curiosity. I’ve smelled heretic body sprays before that I did not like but I loooooove this perfume. It’s not super intense. I put it on one day and was walking around wondering where the good smell was coming from and realized it was me! Please come out with a travel size 🙏"

— Sabrina H. (5/5)

RMS perfume is one of my two favorites!

"I love the orange woodsy scent of this beautiful, clean perfume. It lasts all day which is hard to do with clean formulations. I also love brand Clean Reserve in skin, but that only lasts a couple hours. I just found my new favorite!"

— Valerie L. (5/5)

Scarlet Moon Perfume

"I got the sample size because I don't usually wear perfume, but this one did not disappoint! The scent is subtle enough not to be overpowering but long lasting. I would definitely recommend!"

— emily w. (5/5)

Great scent but not lasting

"Absolutely love the scent but struggling to make it last have tried layering with a dry oil both before and after application and also a petroleum on top but it fades to almost non existent on me after 10 minutes which is disappointing because the scent is incredible. Very natural scent that would not give me a headache if it lasted. I would love any tips they might have on how to make this last other that what I have already tried"

— melissa m. (3/5)

Lovely

"I purchased the sample size, fell in love, so I purchased the full size bottle during the earth day sale. I'm very sensitive to strong scents - this is light and comforting. I love it! I just wish it lasted all day but that's not a deal breaker for me. I will purchase it again."

— Jenny M. (5/5)

A sweet citrusy scent, perfect for Spring/Summer

"Nice fragrance! A nice balance between citrus fruity and floral. Definitely won't pay price for the full size but its a very nice perfume, it'll be my spring/summer fragrance."

— Jaclyn m. (4/5)

RMS Scent

"Surprised about the scent not so sure about it. Strangely smells unnatural. Extremely strong initially and then eventually fades to nothing. No lingering scent. Not sure if it's for me. Was excited to try at least now I know it's not for me."

— Valerie Z. (5/5)

"Smells great!"

— Terrie (5/5)
