The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1994 by Etro, Messe de Minuit is a fragrance that captures the essence of an Italian winter. Its opening notes of citrus—orange, lemon, and bergamot—are bright and crisp, evoking the freshness of a cold morning. The heart of cinnamon and myrrh adds warmth and depth, while patchouli and incense bring a balsamic richness to the base. This composition seamlessly transitions from day into night, creating an atmosphere that feels both cozy and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for an immediate burst of citrus freshness. The spicy heart and balsamic base will develop over time, so it's best worn in layers rather than all at once. This fragrance is perfect for cooler evenings when you want something warm and enveloping.
