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.

About

Midnight Poison opens with a deep, almost bitter bergamot and mandarin that quickly folds into a dark, gothic rose heart. This isn't your grandma's rose-garden scent; it's cold, restrained, and sits atop a powerful, earthy patchouli base. The amber and a whisper of vanilla add a touch of warm sweetness without ever turning truly gourmand, creating a complex, mysterious aura. It's a scent of intriguing contrasts, blending chilly sophistication with an underlying warmth.
