Beyoncé Midnight Heat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Olivier Gillotin. Midnight Heat opens with Plum, settles into a heart of Night Blooming Cereus, Tulip, Peony, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Beyoncé's Midnight Heat carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

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.
