Ted Lapidus Creation de Minuit is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015. Creation de Minuit opens with Bergamot, Apple, and Blackberry, settles into a heart of Night Blooming Cereus, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vanilla, Clean Musk, and Plum. Ted Lapidus's Creation de Minuit carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Divisive and intriguing, Creation de Minuit is either a delightful, dark berry wine or a surprisingly powdery, retro floral. If you're after something a bit different, it's worth a sniff, but don't expect a crowd-pleaser.

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
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's versatile enough for many settings, though its distinct dark berry and powdery notes make it more suited for cooler weather and evening wear. It's too unique and potentially polarising for a strict office environment, but suitable for more relaxed casual outings and dates.

About

This scent opens with a burst of tart bergamot and green apple, quickly giving way to the star of the show: a rich, dark blackberry note. As it settles, a floral heart emerges with hints of night-blooming cereus, rose, and heliotrope, adding a soft, powdery dimension. The base eventually dries down to a musky cedar, with a touch of vanilla and plum providing a gentle sweetness that lingers on the skin.
