The house of Midi Parfums presents Raphaëlle.
Brand country — France: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. Raphaëlle Midi Parfums — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Raphaëlle is built as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Midi Parfums is clear in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
From the first breath you sense invigorating sunny first notes: Bergamot, Fruit note and Rhubarb. Exactly these 3 notes build a sensation of cool purity that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
In the middle phase you meet Rose, Selenicereus and Tuberose carrying a opulent floral direction. At drydown level the line is anchored through Patchouli and Sandalwood, shaping a deep woody trail.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Wood with each one in a clear role. The profile is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Fruit, Green and Floral. The framework further includes Whiteflower and Wood.
In summary Raphaëlle holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best experienced in wear.
