About Midnight Rio
Midnight Rio: A Nocturnal Floral Oriental by Mark Buxton
Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector presents Midnight Rio, a new unisex fragrance launching in 2026. With perfumer Mark Buxton at the helm, it's a floral oriental with a mysterious, night-time allure.
Midnight Rio opens with an exotic rush: passion fruit, blackcurrant, almond and pineapple combine in a luscious, sweet blend, lifted by a green note that keeps it fresh and lively.
The heart moves into more classical territory. Lily of the valley delivers a subtle white floral touch, rose adds elegance, while cedar and guaiac wood introduce a woody nuance that tempers the initial sweetness.
The base envelops the wearer in a warm, resinous embrace: musk, olibanum incense, sandalwood, vanilla and amber. The result is a powdery, balsamic dry-down that lasts and leaves a lasting trace.
Midnight Rio is built on contrasts – fruity against woody, luminous against dark. It's far from retiring; its presence is confident and its character truly nocturnal, like a city humming after dusk.
For those who appreciate a unisex fragrance with personality, ideal for evening occasions or for fans of rich floral orientals with a sweet yet smoky edge.
Midnight Rio is a superb effort from Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector: an evocative, beautifully balanced scent that offers layers of intrigue. A memorable launch for 2026.
