Juliette Has A Gun Midnight Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Midnight Oud opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Papyrus, Amber, Bergamot, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Juliette Has A Gun's Midnight Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive take on the classic rose-oud, Midnight Oud is a bold statement. While some find its opening challenging - think 'burned plastic' or 'gasoline' - patient wearers are rewarded with a dark, sophisticated dry down. Definitely not for the shy, but a must-try for oud newcomers and dark romantic souls alike.

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

Given its strong opening, significant sillage, and long-lasting nature, this scent is ill-suited for the office. It excels in intimate date settings and formal evening events, particularly in cooler weather, where its bold character can shine without overwhelming.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Midnight Oud opens with a striking blast of dark rose and saffron, tinged with a sharp bergamot that borders on the medicinal. As the initial intensity mellows, a rich, woody oud emerges, intertwined with warm, earthy patchouli and a hint of animalic depth. The dry down settles into a sensual blend of musky amber and creamy sandalwood, leaving a trail of sophisticated mystery.
