Midnight Espresso

Midnight Espresso by Kilian is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with coffee and rum, moves into chocolate and hazelnut and dries down to bourbon vanilla and benzoin. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Coffee Roasted, bitter and dark. Adds edge to sweet fragrances.
• Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.

Heart

• Chocolate Sweet, dusty and rich. Can go milk-bar or dark-and-bitter.
• Hazelnut Roasted, buttery and nutty. Warm and dessert-like.

Dry-down

• Bourbon Vanilla Richer, boozier vanilla. Darker than the standard version.
• Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
