Moonlight Patchouli by Van Cleef & Arpels
2016 • Unisex

VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
MOONLIGHT PATCHOULI

Moonlight Patchouli opens with an earthy richness, where the patchouli leaf intertwines with warm cacao and woodsy notes, creating a lush and inviting atmosphere. As the fragrance develops, a heart of velvety iris flower and Bulgarian rose adds a floral sophistication that softens the initial boldness. In the dry down, the scent deepens with a blend of leather and suede, complemented by subtle fruity notes that lend a touch of sweetness, balancing the overall composition with a warm, intimate finish. This unisex fragrance is perfect for those who appreciate depth and complexity, making it an excellent choice for fall and winter evenings. With moderate longevity and an intimate sillage, it’s best suited for close encounters rather than large gatherings. Moonlight Patchouli stands out in the world of woody and leather-infused fragrances, offering a unique twist with its floral heart. If you enjoy the warmth of patchouli but crave something a bit more refined, this scent is a solid recommendation that won't disappoint.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

Moonlight Patchouli opens on patchouli leaf and cacao before easing into a bulgarian rose and iris flower heart. Suede, leather, and fruity notes carry the base, which is where the wear ultimately lives. Expect a reasonable, well-behaved wear, not a beast, not a whisper. Hits hardest across fall and winter with a nighttime tilt. The 4.2-star rating with 11,662 voters behind it makes a blind buy defensible.
