Fragrance Du Bois Minuit et Demi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Stéphane Bengana. Minuit et Demi opens with Allspice, Bergamot, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Coffee and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Liquor, Musk, Cedar, and Vetiver. Fragrance Du Bois's Minuit et Demi carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a seriously gorgeous, sensual caramel-spice vanilla, marred by a price tag that screams 'rip off'. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for the community, primarily due to associations with its creator rather than the juice itself. Don't fall for the hype or the hate; judge the scent, not the creator.

Scent Profile

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Minuit et Demi opens with a vibrant, spicy kick of pimento and cardamom balanced by a whisper of bergamot. This quickly melts into a lush, edible heart of creamy caramel and rich coffee. The dry down is a warm embrace of vanilla, smoky tobacco, and boozy liquor notes, underscored by soft woods and musk. It's a cozy, opulent gourmand with an inviting depth.
