About Midnight
Midnight by Veritas Fragrance Co: An Oriental Woody for Bold Nights
Veritas Fragrance Co debuts Midnight, a new unisex scent launching in 2026. Created by perfumer Jayson Tautic, it belongs to the Oriental Woody fragrance family.
Midnight plays on contrasts: the coolness of pine and star anise opens into a dark heart of oud, leather, and smoke. It's a rich, mysterious composition designed to leave a lasting impression.
The scent opens with top notes of black pepper, star anise, and pine. This mix feels spicy, slightly green, and resinous, with a sweet-licorice edge from the anise.
The heart layers frankincense, blackcurrant, cypriol (nagarmota), and cassis. Frankincense brings a smoky, almost sacred depth, while the blackcurrant and cassis add a tart, fruity brightness. Cypriol lends an earthy, woody warmth.
At the base, castoreum, birch tar, and oud create an animalic, leathery, and balsamic foundation. The result is a persistent, sensual trail with a distinctly dark and smoky character.
Midnight is defined by accords that are woody, leathery, aromatic, softly spicy, fresh spicy, fruity, smoky, green, oud, and anise. It's a complex structure that evolves throughout wear.
With an initial rating of 4 out of 5, Midnight stands as an audacious entry in contemporary perfumery, aimed at those who appreciate unconventional, dark-toned scents.
Fans of oriental woody fragrances who enjoy smoky, leathery, and animalic nuances, and who want a perfume with a strong personality for night-time or colder weather.
Midnight invites you to get lost in the night. Its balance of freshness, sweetness, smoke, and animality makes it magnetic, even if it won't appeal to every taste.
