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.

About

Midnight Desert opens with a crisp, juicy apple and bright bergamot, uplifted by a spicy kick of ginger. The initial freshness soon mellows into a heart of aromatic geranium, herbaceous clary sage, and a hint of juniper. The dry down introduces a warm, woody base of cedar, vetiver, and amberwood, softened by a sweet tonka bean and a whisper of frankincense. It's a fresh, modern fougère with a pleasing depth.
