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.

About

Way Past Midnight opens with a whisper of grapefruit, quickly giving way to a heart of smooth magnolia and a hint of fresh ginger. It then settles into a cozy, comforting base of creamy vanilla and warm sandalwood. The overall impression is a gentle, sweet floral that feels more expensive than its price tag suggests.
