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.

Office Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage mean it's not overpowering for office wear, and many reviews praise its suitability for work, but it really shines in the evening, making it excellent for dates and formal events. The rich, sweet, and earthy character makes it less suitable for casual daytime wear or sport.

About

Autour de Minuit kicks off with a surprising burst of fruity sweetness, often perceived as plum or berries rather than the listed mandarin, quickly blending into a powdery, almost dusty iris. The heart reveals a dominant, earthy patchouli, sometimes described as chocolatey or even balsamic, giving it a rich, dark character. A subtle vetiver weaves through, adding a touch of woody depth that grounds the sweetness, making for a complex, purple-hued scent.
