Oscar de la Renta Midnight Amber is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016. Midnight Amber opens with Wild Strawberry, Nutmeg, and Vanilla, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oud, and Patchouli. Oscar de la Renta's Midnight Amber carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Midnight Amber is a dark rose oud that's far more sophisticated than its price tag suggests. A surprising blind-buy hit for many, though its moderate performance might disappoint those seeking a powerhouse.

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.

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.

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

Opens with an unexpected, almost juicy wild strawberry note, quickly softened by a warm, gently spiced nutmeg and creamy vanilla. The heart blooms into a rich, heady bouquet of rose, jasmine, and tuberose, lending a sensual depth. As it dries, a prominent, yet smooth oud emerges, beautifully blended with earthy patchouli and a comforting amber, creating a mysterious and elegant close.
