What does Midnight Hour smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate: it neither dominates nor disappears quickly. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter chosen less often. Daily wear and leisure lead, while business and evening settings follow close behind.

The opening of mango peel, leaves and ginger reads fresh, green and slightly fruity. In the heart, pink pepper, star anise and geranium add spice. Oud, musk, leather and Indonesian patchouli settle the base into a woody, earthy, leathery dry-down. Ahmed Al Maghribi Blu Oud and Xerjoff Torino25 have a close profile.
