  I haven’t had the chance to try the EDT, but I do own this EDP and can say that for me, it becomes very similar to Dior Homme Intense, without that iris note that reminds so much of feminine lipstick, being generally drier and less sweet. The scent isn’t meant to be a beast, but it definitely makes an impression; it feels very natural, with great quality for the price it sells at. It’s excellent, although it has gotten a bit tiring to me; the bottle design is gorgeous.

  Indeed, it has more aromatic potency than the EDT without becoming a sillage monster, which I don’t believe was ever V&A’s intention with this beautiful fragrance. Basically, they accentuated certain notes to achieve a denser, more compact effect, with an opening marked by that smoky tea note and very soft citrus (leaning slightly more towards bergamot). For me, the key notes are leather, tea, and frankincense. After eight hours, I started to strongly perceive the frankincense with tonka bean and some very soft wood notes. After 10 hours, more frankincense; by 15 hours, amber with a musk impression and even vanilla. I think in some phases it resembles Bvlgari Black: both are oriental and share notes like tea, leather, bergamot, and amber. BB has more woods, while this one has more resins, with a deeper and sweeter finish, that “burnt rubber” note of the BB. It’s an elegant and special fragrance, more for winter and night. The sillage is heavy at first but softens after an hour, though always noticeable. Longevity is over 15 hours, feels great. Note: like many winter fragrances, if you work in heated places, it will smell different than outdoors. In a hot environment, it emerges strongly, and when you go out into the cold, you perceive it less, but it’s there.

  I hadn’t tried the Eau de Parfum version of this marvel (luckily, I did try the EDT). First off: it’s much less sweet than its little sister, both last a long time on the skin. I agree with those who compare it to Dior Homme. I felt this Eau de Parfum slightly smoky. From my point of view: A DELICIOUS TREAT and it’s already on my shopping list (if local speculation ever allows it). I was left with my friend Prieth’s phrase: “For me, the key notes are leather, tea, and frankincense.” Prieth hits the mark up to the semicolon.

  I hadn’t tried the Eau de Parfum version of this wonder (luckily, I did try the EDT). First off: it’s much less sweet than its younger sister, and both last a long time on the skin. I agree with those who compare it to Dior Homme. This Eau de Parfum felt slightly smoky to me. From my perspective: A DELICIOUS TREAT, and it’s already on my shopping list (if local speculation ever allows it). I was left with my friend Prieth’s phrase: “For me, the key notes are leather, tea, and incense.” Prieth hits the nail on the head up to the semicolon.

  Even though many say it’s feminine, I find it super sweet without losing its incredible essence. I really liked it and was surprised by the scent it leaves on the skin; it’s sexy and I think it’s more for night, like a date or romantic dinner, since women just love that sweet touch. I’m already eager to get it for my collection; great fragrance.

  Although many say it’s a feminine fragrance, I find it quite sweet without losing its incredible allure. Personally, I liked it a lot and was surprised by the scent it releases on the skin after application: it’s sexy, and I think it’s more suitable for night, perhaps a date or a romantic dinner. Women find it very attractive, probably because of that sweet touch. I’m eager to get it and add it to my collection; what a great fragrance!

  How hard it is to find a bottle of that Midnight in Paris EDP that seems to have vanished. Rubbing it on the skin is like preparing to live a dream night in one of the world’s most beautiful cities, wrapped in a cloud of dusty leather, tonka, and incense. The scent differs from the EDT, gaining intensity, depth, and body. The opening is similar: citrus and rosemary give a fresh impact, and the powdery sweetness shows up quickly. The differences appear soon: the EDT has a synthetic veil reminiscent of hair lacquer, while the EDP is stronger, with a smoky rubber-like impact, more angular, and better across several phases. It’s a charming, hypnotic fragrance that captures your senses like the caress of a loved one. Longevity is notable, around 9 hours without fading, with a pleasant projection that doesn’t bother. It’s a magical juice, a genius capable of fulfilling wishes, enclosed in one of the most beautiful bottles of all time. If you’re lucky enough to have one, shine a flashlight against the wall and see what happens. It’s one of Van Cleef & Arpels’ brightest stars; better to catch it before the bottles run out.

  Thanks to Jerry Drake, who brought me samples to Barcelona years ago, I got to try it. I was curious about its comparison to Bvlgari Black, which I adore, so I tested both versions. The opening is velvety: a mix of tonka and almonds, but with more nutty character than sweetness; you can taste the bitterness of mate and tea. It doesn’t smell like leather per se, but it has that soft animal feel of good suede. As it dries down, the tea and mate take over, losing the initial sweetness and becoming more masculine. Finally, the resins add a warm, comforting touch. It projects strongly at first and softens later, but it has great longevity, sticking with me all day. Compared to Black, they’re almost twins, but if you test them together, Black smells like exhaust pipes while MiP is the elegant brother who rides in a Bentley, whereas Black is the one on the motorcycle. I loved it. It’s unisex, leaning masculine, but a woman can wear it; it’s elegant, versatile (works for lunch or a tuxedo dinner), and evocative. I see it more for winter or shoulder seasons; it reminds me of Lugano, not Paris: it has a Latin spark but keeps Swiss seriousness. Highly recommended if you can find it; it’s not intrusive and pleases most people. Pleasant: 7/10 Interesting: 8/10 Versatile: 8/10 Original: 7/10

I see it more for winter or mid-season; it reminds me of Lugano, not Paris: it has a Latin spark but maintains Swiss seriousness. Highly recommended if you find it; it’s not annoying and pleases most people. Pleasant: 7/10 Interesting: 8/10 Versatile: 8/10 Original: 7/10

  I’ve been hunting for this perfume for years and finally found it a few days ago, almost a miracle for 2024. I won’t repeat the notes or longevity discussion since there are plenty of opinions on that, but I want to share my experience. To me, it’s one of the sexiest and most sensual perfumes out there, made for close encounters: it grabs attention but stays close, inviting you to get nearer. Ideal for dates or night outings in any weather except scorching heat. My wife loves it when I wear it for those special occasions where we know exactly what to expect; it’s a night-time pleasure for a passionate evening.
