Kenneth Cole Moonlight Blue is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2023, created by Christine Hassan. Moonlight Blue opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Sage, settles into a heart of Night Blooming Cereus, Nutmeg, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Kenneth Cole's Moonlight Blue carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This budget-friendly BDC clone delivers a fresh, clean scent that's a hit for its price, though its fleeting performance means you'll need to spray often. Great for those who want that 'blue' vibe without the hefty price tag.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean profile and poor longevity make it ideal for casual wear, quick errands, or as an office scent that permits frequent reapplication. It's not strong or long-lasting enough for formal events or a lasting impression on a date night.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Moonlight Blue presents a bright, citrusy opening with grapefruit and bergamot, uplifted by blue sage. The heart introduces a surprising floral touch of night-blooming cereus, spiced with mint and nutmeg, adding a fresh, aromatic depth. The drydown settles into a woody embrace of vetiver, patchouli, and cedar, grounding the fragrance with a clean, earthy finish. It's an easy-wearing, subtly sophisticated blue scent.
