The story behind the bottle.
Moonlight Cherry by Van Cleef & Arpels, launched in 2025 and crafted by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur, is a composition that captures the essence of a late-night indulgence. The fragrance opens with the rich warmth of cherry and rum, creating an immediate sense of comfort and sweetness. This is balanced by bitter almond and coffee notes, which lend a touch of sophistication and depth to the overall aroma. As it settles into its base of vanilla and white musk, Moonlight Cherry transforms into a warm and inviting embrace, perfect for those moments when the day fades into night.
Apply Moonlight Cherry to pulse points for a warm hug that lasts through the evening. The rum and vanilla notes bloom after an hour, so give it time to develop before heading out.
