Midnight in Paris

Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef & Arpels is a luxurious, unisex fragrance centered around warm, balsamic leather with soft, sweet notes of vanilla, tonka bean, and almond. The opening reveals crisp citrus and aromatic herbs, quickly evolving into a rich, velvety drydown where leather melds with incense and benzoin, creating a surprisingly intimate and enduring aroma. Though some find it too powdery or sweet, its supple, smoky development appeals to those who appreciate refined, sophisticated scents that feel both cozy and intriguing. It's ideal for cooler weather and evening wear, offering a subtle yet rich projection that lingers on skin for hours. The bottle design is universally praised as elegant, with starred night skies that almost serve as a highlight of the experience.
