Which Should You Buy?
A truly iconic, much-missed masterpiece. Midnight Poison is a dark, enigmatic siren that continues to captivate and frustrate in equal measure, with the community still raging over its discontinuation. It’s a polarizing brew, but those who love it, really love it.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Abdul Samad Al Qurashi - Heritage Bois de Aoud (Khashab Al Oud) - a citrus fragrance led by Mandarin, Bergamot, with floral depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This powerful, dark fragrance is best suited for evening wear and special occasions, with many reviewers praising its allure for nights out. Its intensity and commanding presence make it less ideal for casual daytime or office settings, though some brave souls still wear it there.
Seasons
The citrus character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its citrus, floral signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
