Fragrance du Bois Minuit Et Demi EDP
Description
Minuit Et Demi opens on cardamom, pimento, and bergamot before sliding into a caramel-and-coffee heart, then settling into a woody, tenacious base of cashmeran, musk, tobacco, bourbon vanilla, cedarwood, and vetiver. Composed by Stéphane Bengana in collaboration with Australian fragrance reviewer Demi Rawling, it's built around Symrise's Bourbon de Laire compound, a genuinely woody gourmand rather than a straightforward sweet one, with no oud in the formula.
Scent Character
- Woody: 41%
- Sweet: 32%
- Spicy: 18%
- Fresh: 9%
Translation: cashmeran, cedarwood, and vetiver do more work here than the caramel-coffee heart suggests. This is a woody gourmand, not a straight dessert scent, and there's no agarwood in the formula.
