How does this compare to Not a Perfume?+−
They are vastly different. While both share the Cetalox® base, Not a Perfume is a minimalist skin scent, whereas Midnight Oud is a heavy, smoky, and complex oriental floral with intense projection.
Is this suitable for daytime wear?+−
Most users find it too heavy and opulent for the office or casual daytime activities. It is best reserved for late nights, formal events, or outdoor winter occasions where its potency can breathe.
Does the rose note smell like a fresh bouquet?+−
No, the rose in Midnight Oud is dark, syrupy, and "wine-like." It is heavily influenced by the surrounding notes of birch tar and patchouli, making it smell more like a dried or preserved rose than a fresh one.
How is the longevity and sillage?+−
This is one of the strongest performers in the Juliette Has a Gun lineup. It is known for lasting all day on skin and even longer on clothing, with a sillage that is noticeable from several feet away.
