SmokyWhat does Around Midnight smell like?
It lasts well and projects moderately. Most voters pick autumn, then winter, and it leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear. It reads equally comfortable on men and women.
It opens with geranium, chamomile and pepper, with jasmine at the heart. In the base, styrax, cedarwood and patchouli take over, leaving a resinous, earthy and slightly powdery dry-down. The Merchant Of Venice Spicy (Eau de Toilette) and Gucci The Last Day of Summer have a close profile.
