Fragrance information:

The house of Van Cleef & Arpels gifted the world with Midnight in Paris in 2010. A masculine fragrance rooted in the east and aromatic families.

Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. A couple of sprays will carry you through the whole day — longevity is firmly high. Made in France, backed by a long and proud tradition. Also available in other concentrations: van cleef & arpels midnight in paris. Midnight in Paris Van Cleef & Arpels — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Midnight in Paris unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of Van Cleef & Arpels is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

In the top tier you catch invigorating sunny first notes: Bergamot, Leather accord, Lemon and Mate.

In the central layer you meet Lily of the Valley and Tea keeping a creamy tuberose direction.

The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Citrus and Gourmet with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Floral, Wood, Amber and Leather enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In longevity terms High suggests confident staying power.

At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Citrus, Leather, Green and Aromatic. The palette also extends to Whiteflower, Gourmet, Ambery and Balsamic.

Taken together Midnight in Paris holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Imperceptible

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

A beautiful, sparkling composition where almond, flowers, and leather create an amazing cocktail. Your mood lifts when you smell this fragrance. Lemon notes add freshness, and a light woody base gives it depth. A true feast for the senses

This scent seems much stronger than the EDT. If you've decided to test it, definitely try this specific version before buying. Otherwise, you might just suffocate from its intensity)))
