I purchased this perfume about a year ago. A few weeks after I purchased it I was at a BBW and tried their Rose Quartz body spray. It is the first few seconds of the top notes of this beauty. As a body spritz there is not much longevity. But if you are looking for something to layer with this BBW also had the scent in a body oil.
This scent is one of my favorite rose and patch combos.

I tried this on at Neiman Marcus and feel in love with it, so much so I tracked it down on line and found a tester at a really reasonable price. Well, after wearing it for a week, my love lessened to a solid like. This is good quality stuff, it just wears odd. As heavy and potent as it starts, it quickly becomes a skin scent. A rich heavy skin scent, but a skin scent none the less, as the projection is minimal. I like my scent to project enough where I can smell it on me, and this fall short.
How does it smell? it starts almost like David Yurman Limited Edition – a heavy leathery rose note. It softens down to a sweet chocolatey concoction, then it dries further to a sweet fruity patchouli that slightly resembles a very tame Black Orchard. A patchouli fan will be left wanting more as the patchouli is soft, very nice, very sophisticated and beautiful, but weak. Expertly blended, expensive smelling and overall very nice, just too tame for me. Also as a side note, this one tilts slightly feminine IMO. Not a good blind buy but an interesting one to check out.

very soft sillage and projection …. hardly detectable ….
i´ve tested it at shop and i was sooo amazed, now (and it happens many times) huge disappointment when it arrives and you realize that is nothing impressive and smells really poor and quite generic …. never again anything from this line (the other ones are funny, sour or generic as hell – real price should be around 35 euros for such a childish/teenage juices) very disappointed by van cleef and arpels company, never again!

This is very nice scent but it could be a release from Boss or Lalique or Yohji with lower price. It smells nice but not expensive.
Patchouli is not the big boss here. Rose, iris, cacao and leather are also strong. I wouldn’t recommend it for a hardcore patchouli lover. There’s also a feeling at the background of mint (?) chewing gum. I think it’s something reacting with iris..
Longevity is very nice about 7-8 hours. Sillage/projection are moderate.

Beautiful and all my favourite ingredients (except menthol – but i deal with it) are here but is not so strong as it should be and has no sillage.

Very disappointing, considering the notes seemed so delicious and so promising. Disappointment of the Year probably for me in fact!
The opening was quite medicinal, first few seconds after the initial spray. Slightly pungent even.
I got a very weak fleeting hint of citrus but what I mostly found was a dull, yet soft suede. Not the ‘fresh, just cured’ sort, it seemed almost as if spiked with damp soil.
This is actually an opening I get so frequently in Niches nowadays.
Terrible; I was expecting the most deliciously sweet, rounded deep cocoa and maybe some vanillic woods to come roaring out but all you have is this feeble excuse of a leather patchouli.
When you’re paying these prices and upscaling, it has to be great from the very 1st spray, none of this ‘wait for the amazing dry-down’ nonsense, no matter how good it is.
Which is pretty funny to point out that this indeed does dry down to a very nice and rich vanilla and cocoa, but even then it could have been more special.
Sorry people.
My rating: 3/10

This one is truly a hidden gem.
Rose, fruits, patchouli and chocolate heavenly blend.
Extremely beautiful scent and lasts long time with very nice projection. People will notice it and stays all day on clothes.

This is absolutely stunning, but only for about 20 minutes, then it vanishes. My skin simply eats this up-I’m so disappointed. It’s very soft and restrained but opens with a slightly sweet citrus/bergamot note that very quickly becomes a soft rose, slightly powdery with hints of iris. I’m not a patchouli fan, but in this it is quiet and used in the background, and is really a secondary event. It’s nowhere near the ‘typical’ in your face earthy patchouli, this is very well behaved patchouli that grounds the evanescent floral notes without overpowering them. There is definitely orris in there somewhere too. There is leather in the background: this is also restrained but after about 30 minutes, all that is left (on me) is the slightest hint of woody leather. I love the Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire-their Rose Velours remains my idea of rose heaven-they are substantial, meaningful fragrances and sheer quality. I really, really wanted this one to last longer on me-its not fair!

First impact with leather&synthetic patchouli is stunning which lasts for 2 hours, then I am amazed by the cacao&rose mixture in the middle notes for 2 hours more. Was so nice but… After all, all i have is the unbearable Sulphur (cat pee) smell, all thats left. If you want to give the sense of natural body smell to people around you, Its too much tang for base note. Cant be my signature.

A beautiful fragrance. On my skin it gets totally a mans scent. Great dark and a bit sweet Patchouli mixed with dark Rose and Woodsy notes. Its flirty and sexy. I love this scent – but I don’t like it on my skin.
En underbar doft. På min hud blir den manlig. Underbar mörk och lite söt Patchouli mixad med mörk Ros och Tränoter. Den är flirtig och sexig. Jag älskar doften -men inte på mig själv. detta är en mans doft.

Moonlight patchouli.
This is a perfect name for this delightful fragrance.
In the opening I smell a fruity floral rose on patchouli with a sheer quality to it. It’s delicate and lightweight enough for daily use. After some time on the skin, the scent becomes much sweeter and in the late drydown when looking for it I can smell a sliver of chocolate.
The whole composition is as if caressed by moonlight.
Very well done.

This is my favourite perfume. I just love the patchouli, and the rose, and everything about it. It’s my most treasured beloved perfume!!!!!

Moonlight Patchouli is a very sensual Patchouli fragrance. It’s my second fragrance from the VCnA Niche line after Ambre Imperial and so far 2 for 2. Very nice fragrances. This one starts with a slightly sweetish Patchouli note, the cacoa I am assuming but the Sweetness fades as the Patchouli remains to be joined by a fantastic floral heart. Dry, vibrant rose and a dewey sort of iris. I guess this is the ” Moonlight” part. You could visualise walking to meet a lover for a moonlit tryst in a garden grotto with night blooming flowers softly scenting the air. The base is a mild fruity leather note but the fragrance is so weak at that point, it is barely discernable.
Projection on this fragrance is soft, it comes and goes, softly wafting in the air around you just when you think it’s gone. Longevity is good, stays on my skin for about 6-7 hours. This is not a attention grabbing , statement frag. This is a slow burn frag ideal for close encounters of the romantic kind or Any occasion where someone, hopefully romantically inclined, is in close proximity to you. So dates and nights out for dinner are good fits. Another winner has gone into my night fragrance rotation. If you want a beautifully done Patchouli, a far cry from the usual Middle eastern Rose Patch blends, look no further. I just went ahead and ordered a Full bottle of this.

Based on the positive reviews I read right here, I bought a sample of this. I’m a Pathcouli fan and I had high expectations about the listed components. Maybe the decant was not good, but I’ve been tremendously disappointed by this fragrance. It has no proyection, and longevity is close to the skin. I sprayed it many times in different occasions, in cold and warm weahter. I have to plough my nose under my skin or fabrics to get something of this. Beside, so sorry that the sparse patchouly I can detect is muted by a sort of paper-aroma. The search for the holy grail in the Pathchouli earth will have to continue. For now, Farmacia SS. Annunziata Patchouli Indonesiano, from the third hour drydown on is the best

My favourite perfume! The most gorgeous patchouli. Delicious. Everything is perfect, especially the name! I LOVE it!!!
cs1gera1 – :
I love this ! A leather, smokey og still fresh and nice at first, then it turn in to a sweet og so nice soft scent. Expensive – but worth it.
ctac_bv – :
thios one is well blended and smooth… good for office i.e. nothing edgy or spectacular. longevity and sillage soft and weak in my book.
ромикус – :
I’m hooked ! The name is perfect for the scent even though
it opens quite sharp and medicinal, the first seconds after initial spraying. It softens and then you sence the kakao for some minutes. The rose, iris and patch combo lingers on for hours to come and leather ,so soft so soft adds up the warmth and cuddly feel to the composition. The fruity part must be the sweet Honey note I get. This is soo lovely! Thanks VC&a !!!

Now that I have a full bottle I can say that, though the projection is soft, It lasts for days on clothing. I think it is a lovely, elegant scent. A very sheer patchouli with a lovely rose/iris heart. The name does it full justice.
natali24 – :
In short : an understated rose-patch combo that is very sublime and well-crafted. Quiet und softspoken, not loud, not trashy, not too gothic or “noir”.
This could be a beginner´s patchouli, it will not draw too much attention but is beautiful in cooler weather.
I do not regret my purchase. As I own a number of ultra-strong and attention-seeking patch scents (one is Profvmvm Roma´s rendition) this is a very pleasant new take on the topic.
Quite long-lasting as well. Beautiful bottle. Halfway reasonably priced. If you are into patchouli this is at least worth a sniff.

I tried this one a couple of weeks ago and I found it hauntingly beautiful. Definitely see a full bottle in my future. Lasted for a week on paper strip. Really lovely!

Tested it yesterday at 4:30 pm. One under my ear one on my inner arm.
First I get brighter fruity notes which was really nice. Then in 30 mins patchoulie added. So far it was very unisex. Once 2 hours passed rose made its introduction and whatta loud one. Suddenly it leaned towards feminine side. I asked my wife at that moment, lucikly she said mentholated patchouli is coming at her nose instead of feminine of rose. Another hour passed, this time suede and leather started to appear together with iris which again turn the fragrance unisex and we both enjoyed it from 3rd hour and onward.
It went like this two more hours and then cease at around 10 pm. I can’t say much for projection but longevitiy is not less then five hours. I will definitely try again next month (October) with three spritz this time.
Pity that I couldn’t detect cacao at any stage.

Oh yeah! Van Cleef Collection Extraordianaire is an absolute winner every time, I don’t think there is one of them that I don’t like and this could be the 4th that I LOVE!
