Coach Dreams Moonlight

I just bought a little mini of this at Ross for $9 and it has low-key blown me away! These are very much first impressions but CD Moonlight strikes me as quite a unique scent; I've never smelled quite the same combo of jasmine + patchouli -- two notes I love -- like in this one. In trying to orient myself to this -- and I guess I date myself with these two scents! -- it smells to me like the original 2011 Jimmy Choo -- a super sweet, patchouli scent -- has procreated with Mugler's Alien (1992 -- or Zara dupe Splendid Bronze). In Moonlight, I get the earthiness of the patchouli with the almost minty-sweet, fresh, heady jasmine. There's also tonka note here that shows up as an overall, underlying warmth. Ultimately, I like this so much that I immediately jumped on Mercari and bought an inexpensive mostly full bottle of this stuff. This stuff is REALLY good!!! Incidentally, once I tried a sample of V&R Good Fortune and, while I liked it, it was somehow lacking in something, but I can't remember what... I'll have to try it again to compare. And, I DID really like Flowerbomb Nectar (I think it's being discontinued...?) when I smelled it at a perfume counter, but just couldn't allow myself to get attached to a perfume that's on its way out that I'd have to chase down for big bucks... ------------------------------------------------- Edit: After wearing a few times, I realized that Dreams Moonlight also reminds me of Fine'ry Midnight Cafe (a dupe of YSL Black Opium) except that in Midnight Cafe/Black Opium get the earthiness from the coffee note instead of the patchouli like in Moonlight. But they are definitely similar scents in that they're a heady, sweet jasmine combined with an earthy note (patch or coffee). I'm fond of all of these!

I really like this one. I started with a dabber for $8.99 at Marshalls in July, and when I finished it I got a full bottle 3oz tester from fragrancenet (October). It sprays from the floral lid which is kind of cute. The bottle is dull to me. I was swayed by the review that says patchouli and tonka bomb. I love those two notes. I get the sweetness but it is in no way overly sweet. A little linear in that it does not evolve from the opening. Unique to my stash due to the patchouli - bergamot combo. Makes it distinctive as a floral. I get the jasmine, maybe not the rose listed here.

So sexy and addictive. The dry down is amazing. Reminds me so much of Alien by Mugler, but with some quick citrus at the top and a creamy, powdery dry down. Has a darkness to it that kind of reminds me of Twilight vampires. I’m surprised it’s not more reviewed because it’s a special scent. I did about 16 sprays on my Jacket a week and a half ago and I can still smell it on the jacket. Great performance with moderate projection once it’s settled.

Love at first sniff. It is so dreamy and gentle as if moonlight indeed. I feel a ghost of wild strawberries. A berry top not bergamot. And it is sweet. Very sweet but cute not overwhelming. Sheer. Must be how jasmine is blended with tonka beans. But I would never guess the ingredients. So modern and pleasant. I already placed my order at a retailer. It reminds me of Moonlight by Ariana Grande but better and more expensive smelling.

This one has QUICKLY become a major favorite of mine, but I’m also a big fan of V&R Good Fortune (which is super similar to this one, in my nose’s opinion). Coach Moonlight is significantly softer/less harsh than Good Fortune. The fragrance notes blend together so so beautifully. I don’t feel like any one scent overly tries to steal the show. This is a top five favorite for sure

This was another blind buy that I don't regret. I'm generally one who wears bolder scents, but times when I want to unwind and relax, this is one of my go to perfumes. It's not bold or overpowering. I love how each note unfolds. Whenever I wear this to bed, it's still on my shirt and sheets the next morning so the longevity is there. The strength isn't and I'm fine with it.

honestly, this scent is so captivating and alluring, i didn't even expect it. for me it lasts for 8+ hours and i still feel it on my skin. as a gourmand lover i absolutely loved this one, it's sweet but not too much. i'm not really good at detecting different perfume notes, but i would say it smells delicious 💯

I got a mini from an Ulta sample gift. This smells amazing! As a patchouli hater this doesn't smell like a typical patchouli at all, this smells so beautiful and lasts a good amount of time. Update: I put some on at 2pm yesterday, and can still smell it on my skin and clothes at 7am

This is the best Coach Dreams fragrance. Such a beautiful, purple scent. If purple were a smell, it would be this. Longevity and sillage are incredible...You can smell it on clothes days after using it. This is a date, night kind of scent. Very sexy, very powerful, and very purple.

To my nose, it's soft, sweet violets. 🤔 Idk how, but that's what I'm getting and I absolutely love it! ❤️ I've only been wearing it for an hour so I don't know if it'll change. In the meantime, I'm enjoying so much that I'm taking it from my cart to my house. 🙂😊

Smells sweet, and perfume-y in the sense that I can’t really distinguish the notes. I don’t really get any of the florals and the bergamot in the opening. Interestingly though it smells fruity to me, like grape or grape candy and I wonder why since there aren’t really any fruity notes listed. It reminds me of Flowerbomb a bit but this goes a bit easier on the patchouli thankfully. I would rather wear this than Flowerbomb. So not revolutionary but pretty good fragrance, longevity is also no bad, it’s my scent of the day today because I’m testing a sample and I applied it like 4 hours ago and I’m still catching whiffs of it. Edit: kept going back to smell it and I like it much more than initially. Surprisingly it's also very strong. I might have to get a bottle after all, maybe when I find it on sale

Oooh yes! I'm thrilled when bottles match how the perfume smells in my mind's eye, and this does. This is a soft, hazey fragrance. Kind out out-of-focus, but in a dreamy way. As it opens, it isn't yet, because that bergamot (or whatever fruit) is punchy. Actually, just a little bitter too...slightly. It was weird, and I didn't know what I was smelling specifically. It settles into a cozy tonka+vanilla rose (I don't smell patchouli in here, if there is some, it's softened considerably). There's a white, clean laundry musk as well. This laundry musk+vanillic, plushy drydown thing is absolutely a Gen-Z style of perfume, and I, a Millennial, quite enjoy it. This begs to be worn in evening, and again, is congruent with the name and title. 🌙 🌃

My mum gave me her bottle to try. At first it was really sweet especially in warm weather. The bergamot citrusy note tries to save it a bit though it probably has a better effect in cooler weather. I love rose and jasmine however I found the sweetness of the tonka bean and patchouli sadly overwhelmed the florals. Very cloying in hot weather especially during the daytime. I might give it another go at night. I love the name and the bottle is cute but at the moment all I'm getting is sweetness overload. Never really been a fan of all the fruit-chouli scents. At least it smells really strong if you do love this type of fragrance. I personally prefer lighter florals or something darker with more incense patchouli vibes.

Something about this just makes me happy. The tonka bean in this is so lovely; just envelops the whole fragrance in a sweet cloud that carries the other notes effortlessly. This could work for any season; the warm sweetness and slight spiciness of the tonka says winter, but the sweet jasmine punch makes me love this as a spring scent. I'll have to wear it when winter comes back around and see how I feel, but so far, this has been a nice addition to my collection. I can't see this offending any noses. Only reason it's not a LOVE is down to personal tastes; i don't find myself reaching for it. It doesn't stand out like other fragrances i have and LOVE. So this is a safe like.

Was able to get my hands on this early and it smells really good! Smells just like Mugler Aura if it weren't as overpowering because Aura can be a bit nauseating when smelling for too long, however the Coach Moonlight is just as intoxicating! The floral middle notes reminding me a lot of Gucci Guilty EDP so I'm sure there's some Lilac in there somewhere but it has no heavy floral notes just very mellow florals in use here, very soothing. Overall Coach Dreams Moonlight is just as great as sunset and the original dreams and I would recommend going and checking it out if you think you'd like a Soothing Floral Medicinal smelling fragrance!

I did one little spray on my arm to test it on my actual skin before deciding if I was keeping or gifting it. My husband proceeds to yell from across the kitchen and living room "DID YOU SPRAY SOMETHING?!" So this stuff is super strong. I like that in a perfume, but it may be a LOT for some if you have a small living space. I actually really like this scent though. Usually anything with patchouli listed is an immediate no for me as I hate the scent and it's always the strongest one. For this perfume though I can't smell the patchouli at all. I'm still going to wait the full day to see how it wears on my skin specifically.

Despite the notes, I really get a sister vibe of XS by Paco Rabanne. This gives a sweet & salty Ritz cracker, maybe a touch more sweeter than XS but not by much. Really interesting and weird that I find them so similar. I was very confused at what I was testing when I first smelled it and was on the fence but after a couple of tries I did manage to score a second hand bottle full bottle. I haven’t found what to layer it with, but on its own it’s a great fragrance. Very different from the sweet florals from the rest of the line and I love every single one of them. Coach is a wonderful consistent winner in my books

This is so cute!! It opens up bright and citrusy but I would bet there are other fruits in here, I get a little bit of a cherry or berry kind of smell too. The florals are very powdery and soft, it does remind me of violets too! It has a sweetness and warm from tonka beans but also it feels clean, I think there is a bit of clean musk in it too. The overall experience reminds me a little bit of Lolita Lempicka Le Parfum 2023. Obviously this one doesn't have liquorice but wears similarly. I don't know if I want a full bottle of this or not yet but I like it a lot. To me it's not similar to sunset flanker at all.

Tried this and now I lowkey wanna buy it >.< but I’m also super curious about Good Fortune by Viktor&Rolf since everyone says they smell kinda similar, and honestly, that bottle is sooo pretty so I gotta try it! It’s definitely patchouli-heavy, so keep that in mind. Personally, I love it, so no complaints here, It’s such a pretty purple scent: very whimsical, mysterious, dreamy, a little spicy but still sweet. Also saw a review that cracked me up: “Obnoxious clingy art teacher vibes, did not like the harsh smell.” lmaoo like... I get it, but I love it?? As an artist, that vibe actually speaks to me (oops)

She's strong! Powedery vanilla sweetness. I don't get any patchouli- and I love patchouli. I blind bought this after falling in love with Coach Dreams Sunset. It's really lovely and sweet, so far not intoxicating like Sunset. I think it's very inoffensive and would be a safe buy for anyone that looks for a powerdery vanilla scent. With the scent mixture I get a lactonic feel to it- milky and rich. She's sweet without being too sharp. It's a like, not a love- but maybe I'll fall in love with it in the spring season.
