Perfume Parlour Moonlight City For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. Moonlight City For Men opens with Holly, Leather, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley, Styrax, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Amber, Tonka Bean, Almond, and Benzoin. Perfume Parlour's Moonlight City For Men carries a Statement verdict, a amber-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's budget take on the discontinued Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris - a smooth, powdery leather over tea and styrax, settling into a sweet, balsamic almond-tonka-benzoin base. PP captures the cosy 'powdery leather' signature that made the original a cult favourite, though it reads a touch flatter and brighter, with the rich balsamic depth softened. A long-loved amber-oriental for a fraction of the (now hard-to-find) original's cost.

About

Moonlight City is Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris, the cult 2010 amber-oriental now discontinued. It opens with a soft leather facet wrapped in bergamot, amalfi lemon and a green rosemary-holly lift, before a gentle heart of tea, styrax and lily of the valley adds a smoky-floral smoothness. The drydown is the heart of it - the original's celebrated 'powdery leather' melting into sweet benzoin, almond, tonka bean, soft incense and amber, warm and enveloping. The original is prized for excellent, all-day longevity and a quality well above its price; as a budget dupe this version keeps the powdery-leather-amber DNA but lands a little flatter and brighter, with the balsamic richness slightly thinner and projection more moderate. A smooth, sophisticated amber-oriental for autumn and winter evenings, formal wear and anyone chasing the discontinued Midnight in Paris.
