Duran Duran Black Moonlight

Xerjoff Duran Duran Black Moonlight is a Parfum launched in 2025. The fragrance opens with Saffron, Cardamom, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Lavender, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Patchouli, Tolu Balsam, and Tonka Bean.

Our verdict on Duran Duran Black Moonlight: Acquired

This one's a proper dark horse, deeply polarising but adored by its fans. A complex, shadowy amber with lashings of spice and a powdery, inky undertone that's definitely not for everyone. Blind buy at your peril, but if it clicks, you'll be hooked.

About

Black Moonlight unfolds with a burst of spiced citrus, where saffron and cardamom mingle with bright mandarin and bergamot. The heart reveals a warm, balsamic core of myrrh and labdanum, laced with creamy ylang-ylang and delicate jasmine, softened by lavender. The drydown is a rich tapestry of patchouli, tolu balsam, and tonka, wrapping you in deep, somewhat powdery warmth with an unmistakable inky edge.
