Messe de Minuit
Messe de Minuit by Etro is an unisex eau de toilette from 1994 in the niche price tier. It opens with incense and mandarin, moves into myrrh, patchouli and honey and dries down to oakmoss, musk and frankincense. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
Dry-down
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
