by Olivier Gillotin

Our verdict on Midnight Heat: Statement

Midnight Heat is a divisive fragrance that delivers a unique blend of dark fruit and earthy patchouli. It's either a sexy, mysterious night-time staple or a cloying, synthetic mess, depending on your body chemistry and tolerance for strong patchouli.

About

Opens with a juicy, dark plum, quickly enveloped by exotic, tropical fruits that lend a sweet, almost jammy quality. The heart introduces a lush, night-blooming floral bouquet of orchid, peony, and tulip. The dry-down is dominated by a prominent, earthy patchouli, balanced by warm amber and creamy sandalwood, creating a sensual, dark aura.
