Midnight Special is a spicy oriental from Ex Nihilo, released in 2017 and composed by Olivier Pescheux. Every wearer describes it as spicy, about half as woody and floral, and a minority find gourmand or citrus sides. It is worn by anyone.
Grapefruit gives a bitter, bright opening that quickly meets black pepper and cinnamon, so the first impression is sharp and warm at once. Turkish rose adds a jammy, slightly spicy floral heart, with saffron lending a dry, leathery sweetness that sits naturally beside it. Oud and patchouli make up the depth, woody and earthy rather than medicinal, and vanilla softens the base so the spices land warm instead of harsh.
No community data on longevity or projection has been gathered yet. The rose, saffron and oud combination suggests evening and cold-weather wear, and suits people who like a spiced rose with real woody weight rather than a fresh or light scent.
