Oriflame Midnight Pearl is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010, created by Marie Salamagne. Midnight Pearl opens with Orange Blossom, Freesia, and Pear, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Peony, Carnation, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Oriflame's Midnight Pearl carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This floral woody patchouli scent is divisive; some find it a gorgeous, dark, and sensual winter fragrance, while others decry it as a generic, fleeting disappointment that smells like baby wipes. Performance is largely seen as poor, so don't expect it to last.

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.

Its intimate sillage and predominantly night-time, warm spicy accords make it suitable for dates and evening wear, especially in colder weather. However, its perceived poor longevity means it won't overwhelm, but it also won't carry you through a long day at the office.

About

Midnight Pearl greets you with a fleeting burst of bright orange blossom, juicy pear, and fresh freesia, a vibrant opening that quickly gives way to a lush floral heart. Jasmine, delicate peony, spicy carnation, and creamy frangipani intertwine, creating a rich bouquet. The base settles into a prominent patchouli, offering an earthy and woody depth that underpins the florals, leaving a warm and slightly sweet trail.
