If you’ve ever wanted Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Intense without the designer price tag, Midnight Roast is it — our lip-smacking oil-based impression, built to last.
It smells like a hug that happens to be delicious.
What You’ll Actually Smell
Top: Mandarin brightens with juicy orange. Bergamot sparkles with zesty Italian citrus. Pear juices crisp and watery.
Heart: Coffee pours dark and bittersweet. Plus Bitter Almond.
Dry-down: Vanilla melts sweet and custardy; Patchouli grounds it with earthy darkness. And then Licorice.
Make It Last All Day
For all-day wear, moisturise first — oil clings to soft, hydrated skin far better than to dry skin, and you’ll notice the difference by evening.
How To Wear It
Cool weather is its home turf: crisp autumn days and long winter nights. A natural fit for her, and honestly great on anyone who reaches for it. Made for date nights, cold evenings and second glances.
Why You’ll Reach For It
The magic of a good gourmand is that it smells expensive, not like candy. This one keeps the sugar in check and lets the warmth do the talking.
Because it’s an impression of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Intense — not the designer bottle — you get the warm, sweet gourmand character you love at a fraction of the price, with none of the alcohol burn.
A Quick Word on Sweet Gourmand-Oriental Scents
A gourmand is perfumery’s comfort food: edible, cozy and instantly likeable. Done right, it reads warm and expensive — and worn as an oil, it hugs the skin instead of filling the room.
Oil vs. the Designer Bottle
An impression isn’t a knock-off — it’s the same scent direction, recreated with quality aroma materials and no designer markup. You skip the bottle, the boxing and the brand tax, and put your money into what actually matters: how it smells on your skin.
