Minuit et Demi

Minuit et Demi is a softly blended, warm gourmand fragrance with a surprising spiciness that sets it apart from typical sweet scents. The opening features vibrant cardamom and pimento, creating a fresh, aromatic burst that feels both inviting and subtly complex. This evolves into a rich heart of caramel and coffee, seamlessly layered with vanilla and musk, giving the scent a layered, creamy depth without overwhelming sweetness. The dry down retains a soft, powdery vanilla warmth enhanced by subtle woody and tobacco notes, making it intimate and lingering rather than bold or aggressive. It wears close to the skin, offering a softly projected, cozy aura that feels more like a personal scent than a statement. The fragrance consistently ranks as unisex and ideal for cooler seasons, particularly autumn and winter, due to its warmth and comfort. Despite the long-standing opinions that it's derivative, many appreciate its balance—neither cliché nor overly unique—making it a wearable, introspective choice. Performance is moderate, with longerevity on clothing, and while not loud or projective, it holds a persistent, pleasant character throughout the day. The scent is often compared to Penhaligon's Changing Constance and other similarly nuanced gourmands, but is noted for being more balanced and less artificially sweet.
