PowderyWhat does Midnight Romance smell like?
It opens bright and juicy with Italian bergamot, raspberry and lychee. The heart turns softly floral with jasmine sambac, freesia and peony. In the base, orris absolute adds a powdery touch, while vanilla and ambroxan sweeten and smooth it out.
Longevity and sillage are moderate: it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters place it in leisure time, evenings and nights out, as well as everyday wear. It is soft enough for the office too. Lancôme Trésor Midnight Rose and Escada Absolutely Me have a close profile.
