Creation of Moonlight Patchouli Van Cleef & Arpels Perfume

Black Thread : Our Creation of Moonlight Patchouli by Van Cleef & Arpels is a sophisticated Woody Chypre fragrance that envelops both women and men in an air of velvety mystery. Launched in 2016 and composed by perfumer Sonia Constant, this fragrance begins with a rich blend of patchouli leaf, earthy woods, and dark cacao, creating a deep and textured opening. The heart introduces floral elegance through Bulgarian rose and soft iris, adding contrast and refinement. As it settles, smooth suede, subtle leather, and a touch of fruitiness emerge, crafting an atmosphere that is both nocturnal and sensual—like moonlight reflecting on dark velvet.
