Midnight Hour
by Zara
Midnight Hour offers a sweet, fruity opening dominated by pineapple and rum, which evolves into a soft, smoky incense-woody drydown. The scent is light and playful, evoking notes of fresh shower gel, vanilla, and leather, with a hint of synthetic sweetness that gives it a slightly generic but approachable character. It's best suited for night wear in colder months, with most users noting its suitability for autumn and winter. Performance is inconsistent—longevity is moderate on skin (around 4 hours) and limited sillage prevents strong projection, though wear on fabric can extend duration. The fragrance is neither bold nor memorable, but its pleasant, wearable quality makes it a solid choice for those seeking a youthful, non-aggressive scent with minimal commitment.

- +performs well on clothing and has reasonable long-term sillage when applied generously
Cons
- −poor longevity and sillage on skin
- −lacks distinct character or depth, making it feel generic or forgettable
