Midnight Dahlia

Midnight Dahlia by Korres is a sweet, fruity-floral fragrance with a surprisingly strong presence for an EDT. It opens with a bright burst of bergamot and lychee, blended with a light woody and fresh base that gives it a clean, youthful vibe. The heart features peony and dahlia with a subtle raspberry hint, creating a soft, feminine aura. The drydown leans sweet and gourmand, with lingering amber and patchouli notes that add depth and darkness, giving the perfume a more mature character than expected. While the lasting power is moderate—most agree it fades after a few hours—it projects sufficiently for a day-time spray, with many noting it as unnoticed or faint by evening. It’s described as being surprisingly strong for an EDT, with some saying one spritz echoes from arm's length. The scent has been likened to Armani Sì Rose and Vivienne Westwood Boudoir for its sensual, floral-drenched aura. Some perceive an early bitter note, recalling Opium or 80s perfume styles, but most appreciate the evolution into a warm, pretty, wearable scent. It's particularly praised for being affordable, clean-ingredient friendly, and discreetly classy. Although it’s praised for its sweetness and higher-than-expected sillage, lasting power remains the biggest limitation.
