City Rhythm Manhattan Midnight is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024.

Divisive yet captivating, Manhattan Midnight is a beast-mode, spicy tea bomb with an intriguing, ever-changing character. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's a unique masterpiece that pulls compliments.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, Manhattan Midnight is best reserved for occasions where it won't overwhelm. It shines on dates and formal evenings, but could be worn casually if applied sparingly. It's too potent for the office or sport.

About

Manhattan Midnight opens with an unexpected, bright pop of violet leaf and bergamot, frequently described as 'blue Powerade', before quickly diving into a rich, spicy heart. Here, a prominent, earthy tea note mingles with sharp pepper and the mystical depth of frankincense and myrrh. As it settles, a smooth, slightly sweet tobacco emerges, grounding the composition with a warm vanilla and vetiver base, creating a sophisticated and evolving olfactive journey.
