The story
About Midnight Special Eau de Parfum
Opening notes
Ex Nihilo’s Midnight Special unfurls with a captivating overture of saffron and cinnamon, spiced further by the distinct warmth of black pepper, initiating an intoxicating embrace that instantly draws you in. This initial zest gracefully yields to a rich and romantic heart where the opulent Turkish rose intermingles with the delicate sweetness of rose petals, brightened by an unexpected, sophisticated twist of grapefruit—a fragrant ballet that dances on the skin.
Heart
The journey culminates in a profound and lingering base, where creamy vanilla melts into the smoky, earthy grandeur of agarwood (oud), anchored by the deep, resonant tones of patchouli. This sophisticated dry-down evokes an enduring sense of mystery and allure, perfect for evening wear or intimate gatherings. Midnight Special is an exquisite testament to enduring elegance and profound depth, crafted for those who command presence and appreciate the art of subtle seduction.
Purone curation
“Midnight Special by Ex Nihilo is an enigmatic oriental woody fragrance, a luxurious journey into the heart of the night.”
