What does Midnight Fever smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters score each one high. It is a scent that makes its presence felt, indoors and out. Being unisex, it does not lean toward either gender.
It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and apple, while lavender and marine notes push that freshness toward an aquatic feel. Amber adds some sweetness. As it settles, patchouli, vetiver, Thai oud and frankincense build a woody, smoky, lightly spicy base, with a powdery edge in the accords. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Cologne Bleue and Axe Alaska have a close profile.
