The story behind the bottle.
Midnight Candy by Byredo was launched in 2015 as a Floral fragrance for both women and men. This scent is a complex interplay of powdery notes with the rich earthiness of iris and carrot, punctuated by the soft spiciness of black violet and osmanthus. The vanilla base adds a touch of sweetness that balances the overall composition, creating an intimate and warm atmosphere.
Apply Midnight Candy lightly to pulse points — it blooms slowly on the skin. The powdery notes will be most noticeable initially but give way to a warm vanilla base that lasts through the night. Best for evening wear, when its depth can truly shine.
