(Moon)light Rose
I had tried this Van Cleef & Arpels proposal years ago through a 3 x 10 ml discovery set. Despite the fact that on paper it was supposed to be just the kind of fragrance I like, I did, however, at first glance get an impression of indifference, as neither the timbre nor the persistence of the scent impressed me. When I came across it fortuitously a little while ago, I must say that, on the other hand, it impressed me not a little. The sensation, let's say, is the well-known one that originates from Portrait of a Lady and combines rose, patchouli and other notes. Unlike its more famous sister, Moonlight Rose accentuates the lighter, soapy notes, giving the drydown a more carefree feel to the composition, although a vaguely vintage sense remains. Definitely a good alternative for those who love the genre and are looking for a lighter twist.
