About This Fragrance
Van Cleef & Arpels Moonlight Patchouli is an eau de parfum launched in 2016 within Collection Extraordinaire. It was composed by Sonia Constant. Official copy presents it around powerful camphoraceous patchouli and powdery iris, creating a play of light and shadow.
Scent Profile
The scent opens with patchouli leaf, cacao, and woody notes, moves into Bulgarian rose and powdery iris, then settles into suede, leather, and soft fruity facets. It is a woody chypre that polishes patchouli with white powder and supple leather rather than making it simply heavy or earthy.
Who It's For
It suits people who enjoy patchouli, iris, suede, leather, and shadowed textures. It works especially well for autumn and winter evenings, quiet dinners, black or grey clothing, and slightly formal occasions. Those expecting very heavy patchouli or loud projection should test the drydown first.
