Midnight Special in detail
For Ex Nihilo, Midnight Special Eau de Parfum is Olivier Pescheux's reinterpretation of the mukhalat, a traditional oriental blend, to which he gives a Parisian, nocturnal twist. The page gives neither the year nor a family, which Volute files among ambers.
At the top, saffron, black pepper and cinnamon give a spicy, tonic opening. In the heart, rose, present both as an absolute and as a perfumery base, forms a deep bouquet. In the base, patchouli, an oud accord and vanilla make up a warm, woody core. According to the house, a touch of rose jelly and a hint of grapefruit sign the whole.
Midnight Special is worn in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening. It is a dark, spicy woody amber, for those who love oriental roses.
Three niche ambers in our catalogue share several of its materials: Lettre de Pushkar by Ella K Parfums brings together saffron, cinnamon, rose, patchouli and vanilla; Amber Aoud by Roja Parfums pairs cinnamon, saffron, patchouli and oud; Epic Woman by Amouage combines cinnamon, oud, patchouli and vanilla.
