The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by Mancera and crafted by Pierre Montale, Midnight Gold is a complex Oriental Woody fragrance that marries crisp citrus and aromatic freshness with deep woody and spicy notes. The opening of lime and mandarin orange gives way to the green vibrancy of neroli and rosemary, before settling into a heart of Turkish Rose and cardamom. The base layers in cedar, patchouli leaf, white musk, amber, oak moss, and agarwood (oud), creating a rich blend that is both warm and mysterious.
This fragrance blooms slowly and deeply on skin. A single spray allows the citrus to shine initially, while the base notes reveal themselves over time. Best suited for evenings when you want a scent that evolves throughout the night.
