$248.52About Duran Duran Black Moonlight
Xerjoff launched Black Moonlight in 2022 as part of a collaboration with rock band Duran Duran, translating their iconic sound into scent. Built for after dark. The collection drew directly from the band's aesthetic, and the result is a deliberate theatricality that most florals never attempt. Women's fragrance rarely goes this far into shadow, which is exactly the point.
Fragrance Family:
Floral Oriental
Scent Type:
Dark floral, warm, slightly powdery
Notes:
By the dry-down, sandalwood and amber have settled into something rich and skin-close, with musk threading quietly beneath them without flattening what's above. Getting there starts with a tart, almost inky burst of black currant. Violet and iris then pull the composition cool and powdery before jasmine and rose steer the heart somewhere warmer and more opulent, handing things off to the base with a sense of inevitability.
Suggested Use
Black Moonlight earns its name at night. Cooler months suit it best — sandalwood reads richest when the air is cold. Apply to the neck and inner wrists, where body heat keeps the amber base moving steadily through the evening. Wear it to events where a fragrance is meant to be noticed rather than merely present.
