Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Domitille Michalon Bertier and Olivier Polge. Midnight in Paris opens with Mate, Leather, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley, Styrax, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Amber, Tonka Bean, Almond, and Benzoin. Van Cleef & Arpels's Midnight in Paris carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Midnight in Paris is a legendary, much-missed gem that still commands fanatical devotion years after its discontinuation. It's a nuanced, comforting amber-leather dream, though some find it a bit powdery or leaning feminine. A few even reckon it's nothing special, but they're very much in the minority. If you can find it for a decent price, snap it up.

About

Midnight in Paris opens with a sophisticated blend of soft leather and a hint of bright, zesty citruses, quickly settling into a luxurious powdery tea and balsamic heart. As it dries down, a warm, inviting base of amber, sweet tonka bean, and almond emerges, laced with a subtle smoky incense. It's a smooth, rich, and slightly mysterious composition, perfect for a contemplative evening.
