The Different Company After Midnight is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by Émilie Coppermann. After Midnight opens with Angelica, Bergamot, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Mastic, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, Labdanum, and Benzoin. The Different Company's After Midnight carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you. After Midnight is a light, airy floral that evokes fresh mornings rather than dark nights. Its fleeting presence means it's one you'll need to douse yourself in, but for those who love a subtle, clean scent, it's a quiet masterpiece.

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 Summer
Also Works:

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its famously light sillage and poor longevity make it perfect for the office where subtlety is key, or for casual wear when you want a personal, clean scent. It's less suited for formal events or dates where you might want a more impactful or long-lasting presence.

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

After Midnight opens with a bright burst of neroli and bergamot, softened by the green, slightly bitter touch of angelica. The heart reveals a delicate, powdery iris alongside a hint of jasmine, grounded by the unique, subtly resinous mastic. It settles into a transparent base of woody notes, amber, and benzoin, maintaining a surprisingly ethereal quality despite its rich components.
