The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Moonlight Patchouli Le Parfum by Van Cleef & Arpels was launched in 2022, and it is a Woody Chypre fragrance for both women and men. Created by perfumer Sonia Constant, this composition opens with the vibrant freshness of bergamot and spices, leading to a heart of Bulgarian rose and suede that adds an unexpected layer of warmth and depth. The base notes of patchouli and amber create a rich, musky backdrop that grounds the fragrance in earthy sensuality.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in thin layers to allow each note to unfold gradually. The spicy top notes are fleeting but powerful; focus on the warm suede and patchouli base for lasting impact. Best suited for evening wear when its rich, complex character is most appreciated.
