Midnight in Paris
Van Cleef & Arpels · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2010
Midnight in Paris (2010) evokes a nocturnal walk through the city with a leather-and-tea opening that warms into incense, benzoin and amber. The joint composition by Domitille Michalon Bertier and Olivier Polge gives it a polished, wintry oriental character.
