Scent Profile

Composition

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 For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its intense patchouli and warm, sweet accords, make it unsuitable for an office environment. However, these same characteristics, especially its dark and seductive profile, position it perfectly for evening dates and formal events.

About

Midnight Poison Elixir delves deep into a rich tapestry of scent. A potent opening of earthy patchouli is quickly softened by a decadent caramel note, offering a gourmand-leaning sweetness without becoming cloying. As it settles, a dark, almost withered rose emerges, wrapped in the warm embrace of amber and a smooth vanilla, creating a complex, seductive dry down that's both intense and mysteriously inviting.
