Silver Scent Midnight
by Jacques Bogart
Silver Scent Midnight by Jacques Bogart is a bold, aromatic fragrance that leans into a sweet, synthetic profile while maintaining excellent projection and longevity. It opens with a sharp, fresh burst of grapefruit and cardamom, underscored by sage and herbal nuances, creating an invigorating but slightly aggressive start. As it settles, the aroma evolves into a smooth, tonka-bean-laced drydown with a hint of orange blossom and warm wood notes, giving it a slightly sweet and herbal elegance—particularly in cooler weather. Though criticized for its overtly sweet profile reminiscent of grape soda and candy-like tonka, many users find it wildly effective and surprisingly long-lasting. It stands out among the Silver Scent lineup as a more refined, nocturnal version with greater staying power than most others in the range. Its bearable harshness in the opening and the synthetic character are acknowledged as trade-offs, but more users consider it one of the best in the series for its performance and value. It works best in the evening or casual settings and is widely appreciated for its affordability and strong sillage.
