Midnight Poison Perfume by Christian Dior, Launched in 2007, this scent starts out with fruity top notes of mandarine and bergamot, glides into a rose heart and leaves an amber-y and woody wake composed of patchouli, amber, and bourbon vanilla

Midnight Poison opens with a veritable roar of patchouli. It is that very clean patchouli that is in everything lately, and that only vaguely recalls the patchouli oil that once perfumed your local head shop. It stays on the scene for the duration, but the original burst does quiet, gradually revealing the citrus (juicy and mildly sweet) and a sheer floral blend dominated by rose. The base is what is left of the patchouli, plus some musky woods and a touch of amber. It is subtly sweetened by the vanilla, and as the florals fade, the slightest tinge of something fruity, but it stays more dry than not. In fact, it is surprisingly dry for something apparently geared towards the youth market.
