  According to other sites, the notes are: anise, vanilla, myrrh, ivy, MARASCA (cherry), iris, jasmine, violet, musk, vetiver, benzoin, and tonka bean. It makes perfect sense, because on my skin I’ve always sensed a deep aroma of cherry and myrrh, perceived slightly ‘humified’ like incense. For me, that’s the predominant sensation and the reason why I bought it. Beyond that, I feel a powerful and ‘silky’ vanilla, blue and intense, with ‘iriscent’ and violet hues. A mantle of iridescent blue silk, perfumed with vanilla, iris, violet, cherry, and myrrh… that’s exactly it. It makes me feel at dawn, just when the sun shows its first rays, covered by that delicate, soft, and warm mantle. There are moments when the licorice appears to remind us that it’s an apple from the Lolita Lempicka tree, haha… but it’s not the most significant aspect.

  According to other sources, the notes are: anise, vanilla, myrrh, ivy, cherry, iris, jasmine, violet, musk, vetiver, benzoin, and tonka bean. It makes perfect sense, as on my skin it has always been a deep aroma of cherry and myrrh, somewhat ‘humified’ like incense. For me, that is the predominant sensation and the reason I bought it. Beyond that, I perceive an intense, ‘silky’ blue vanilla with iridescent and violet hints. It’s like a perfumed blue silk cloak scented with vanilla, iris, violet, cherry, and myrrh. It makes me feel at dawn, just as the sun reveals its first rays, wrapped in that delicate, soft, and warm shroud. Sometimes the licorice note appears to remind us that it is a Lolita Lempicka tree-apple, haha, but it is not the most significant element.

  I would be lying if I said I was indifferent to Midnight Couture, but the truth is it has completely won me over. It fascinates me, I adore it, and everything else you care to mention. It begins with a nuclear bomb of licorice with an extremely intense and aggressive alicorn tone, sentimental, melancholic, and majestic. The heart is a strange mixture of iris ‘exposed to smoke in a fire’, with a dissonant touch, as if someone had burnt a cigarette butt over it; complemented by the myrrh which leaves an aquiferous spectrum, similar to the scent of sedimentary rocks in freshwater deposits. The base is vanilla-infused myrrh, a creamy and smoky blend. Before proceeding, I must clarify that the formula presents an acidic and fruity transparency (I suppose it will be the cherry note Azuriita pointed out, without mentioning anise accompanying the licorice in the opening, and as expected, an overdose of violet in the base that gives a slight makeup hint). To tell the truth, visually it could be a restructuring of Lolita Lempicka, although giving credence to the inverted expression of its notes, I fear the differentiation is very solemn and obvious to my perception. Midnight Couture, conceptually, reminds me of when trees wither in autumn and seem to have died, or of flowers decaying from winter storms. It is a sombre, melancholic, and pessimistic fragrance (the last in a good sense). With an ‘Avant Garde’ brief, Lolita Lempicka has moved me again; in Midnight Couture I can see myself. It is an aromatic infusion with certain singularity, but which retains fleeting echoes of the first fragrance from this house, albeit with cerulean, overwhelming, and dark tones. With adequate longevity, an overwhelming trail, and a perfect container, it has earned a place among my favourites. Although I must confess that, if there is something I would like to change, it would be the name, but that is utterly superfluous.

  I wouldn’t lie if I said Midnight Couture has completely won me over… I’m fascinated and absolutely in love with it. It begins with an intense, aggressive burst of licorice, carrying a melancholic and majestic tone. The heart is a strange mix of ‘burnt’ iris, with a dissonant touch, as if someone had passed a lit cigarette over it; complemented by myrrh that leaves a damp spectrum, reminiscent of the scent of rocks in freshwater reservoirs. The base is sweetened myrrh, creamy and smoky. Before continuing, let me clarify that the formula has an acidic, fruity transparency (I suppose it’s the marasca already mentioned by Azuriita, not counting the anise accompanying the licorice at the start, and as expected, an excess of violet in the base that gives a make-up-like touch). To be honest, visually it seems like a reworking of Lolita Lempicka, though with its notes turned upside down; I fear the difference is very obvious to me. Midnight Couture reminds me of when trees wither in autumn and seem dead, just like flowers decaying from winter storms. A sombre, melancholic, and pessimistic fragrance (the last part in a good sense). With one caveat, in my opinion ‘Avant Garde’, Lolita Lempicka moves me again; in Midnight Couture, I can see myself. A singular infusion that retains echoes of the house’s first fragrance, albeit with cerulean, overwhelming, and dark tones. With adequate longevity, a powerful trail, and a perfect bottle (in my opinion), it has earned a place among my favourites… Although I must confess that if there’s one thing I’d like to change, it would be the name, but that’s superfluous.

  They say it’s a fragrance of love or hate due to its bold blend, but I’m one of those who enjoys wearing it and smelling it all the time.

  They say it is a fragrance that you either hate or love due to its somewhat marked combination of scents. I am one of the people who enjoys smelling it and wearing it with me.
