The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 by Lolita Lempicka and crafted by Annick Ménardo, Midnight Couture Black Eau de Minuit is a fragrance that embodies the opulence of evening. The composition opens with licorice, adding an unexpected touch of sweetness to the mix before settling into a heart of iris, myrrh, and jasmine. The base notes of benzoin and vanilla create a warm, enveloping finish that feels like being wrapped in luxurious cashmere.
For best effect, apply this fragrance just before an evening event. The licorice top note is fleeting, so don't wait too long to enjoy its initial sweetness — it quickly gives way to a deeper, more complex warmth. A light mist on your wrists and neck should be enough for the benzoin and vanilla base notes to develop fully.
