Korres Midnight Dahlia is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020. Midnight Dahlia opens with Bergamot, Litchi, and Dahlia, settles into a heart of Cedar, Peony, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, and Cotton Candy. Korres's Midnight Dahlia carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive sweetie. Some call it an elegant, budget-friendly dupe for high-end fragrances, while others dismiss it as an 'old lady' perfume or teenage impulse spray. If you love a syrupy sweet, fruity-floral, you might just find your next obsession - just don't expect it to stick around all day.

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:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

While some find it light enough for summer, the intense sweetness and patchouli base make it more suitable for cooler weather and intimate settings. It is frequently recommended for dates, but its often-cited lack of longevity means it requires reapplication, making it less ideal for formal or office wear.

About

A burst of juicy lychee and bright bergamot introduces a sweet, fruity-floral sensation, soon joined by the lush fullness of dahlia and peony. As it settles, a syrupy raspberry emerges, grounded by a soft cedarwood and a base of playful cotton candy, warm amber, and earthy patchouli. It's a journey from vibrant fruit to a cosy, slightly mysterious sweet finish.
