Perry Ellis Midnight EDT in detail
Perry Ellis is the house behind Midnight EDT. It comes as Eau de Toilette.
How long Midnight stays on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. It lasts about as long as Matiere Premiere Mp Es6 and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Edt 1. Base notes like amber and vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Midnight for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Joop! is a lighter match.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is amber (100%), followed by vanilla and gourmand. You will probably like it if you enjoy amber and vanilla smells and notes like orange blossom and amber. Less obvious notes include cinnamon, geranium and tonka bean. Perfume fans rate it 4.54 out of 5.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €55. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Edt 1 and Joop! but less than Prada Amber.
Other Perry Ellis perfumes
The house has 22 perfumes here, led by America, Pure Blue and Portfolio Elite for Men.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Matiere Premiere Mp Es6 and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Edt 1 spread further.
