Midnight Rose by Amouroud: Notes, Longevity and Review
Share
Midnight Rose by Amouroud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, composed by Patricia Choux. It tells the story of a rose across a single day: dewy litchi, pomelo and mate at dawn, a heart of red rose, lily and iris at full bloom, and a base of agarwood oud, amber and labdanum as night falls. Fresh first, dark at last.
What Does Midnight Rose by Amouroud Smell Like?
Midnight Rose smells like a garden transforming after sunset. The opening is bright and dewy, with juicy litchi and sparkling pomelo over green mate. Then the red rose arrives in full, velvety and romantic, softened by lily and given powdery depth by iris. As hours pass, the oud threads through: warm, dark and resinous, pulling the florals into amber and labdanum richness. It is a journey in a bottle, from morning freshness to midnight depth.

Performance is strong: the fruity-floral opening projects well, and the oud-amber base gives it real stamina through the evening and beyond. It is a scent that evolves noticeably over hours.
Best For
Late afternoons into evenings, when you can wear the full transformation: dinners, dates, special occasions. It suits rose lovers who want more than a simple floral, and anyone drawn to the contrast of fresh fruit against dark oud. The way it shifts from fresh to dark makes it feel like two perfumes in one wearing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the oud very strong in Midnight Rose?
It builds gradually. The first hours are fruity-floral; the oud emerges in the dry-down as a warm, resinous depth rather than an animalic blast.
Is Midnight Rose for women or men?
It is composed as a unisex fragrance. The rose-oud pairing wears elegantly on anyone.
What does the litchi add?
A juicy, sparkling freshness at the opening that keeps the rose from feeling heavy before the oud arrives.
How long does it last?
Well into the night: the Eau de Parfum strength and resinous base give it excellent longevity.
