Moonlight Patchouli
Van Cleef & Arpels Moonlight Patchouli is an eau de parfum that centres on patchouli, set within a woody and leathery character with a warm, spiced depth. It first appeared in 2016 and comes from France, a fragrance built to feel rich and sophisticated without being heavy-handed.
The opening carries a dry woody note, giving way to a heart of Bulgarian rose that brings a soft, velvety floral warmth. As it settles, the composition moves into suede and leather, with a powdery iris lending a gentle softness and an earthy, faintly cacao-tinged sweetness that rounds out the base. A touch of fruitiness and a hint of gourmand richness sit quietly beneath, so the scent never tips into sugar.
The character is intimate and enveloping. It tends to sit fairly close to the skin and carries at a moderate distance, while its longevity is long lasting, so it stays present well into the evening. Its mood suits a night out, and it also works in professional settings where a restrained, polished presence is wanted. Because its warmth and depth are not tied to one season, it can be worn across autumn, winter, spring and summer, with its richer leather and spice notes feeling especially at home in cooler months.
Presented as an eau de parfum in a 75ml bottle, this fragrance is unisex in its appeal.
