HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023 by Van Cleef & Arpels, Moonlight Rose is a chypre floral fragrance created by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin. This composition opens with the bright sparkle of pink pepper and geranium before giving way to the lush heart of Bulgarian and Taif roses. The base notes of patchouli, oakmoss, and raspberry create an earthy warmth that balances the floral richness. It's a fragrance that captures the soft glow of moonlight filtering through rose petals.
Apply Moonlight Rose sparingly — the fruity and spicy top notes are fleeting but vibrant. Allow it to settle for a few minutes before heading out; the woody base will bloom slowly, offering warmth and depth throughout the evening.
