Midnight Espresso is the eau de parfum Kilian Paris draws from the espresso martini in The Cocktails Collection, launched in August 2026. Mathieu Nardin composed it as an after-dinner amber gourmand: coffee and rum at the top, chocolate and hazelnut at the heart, Bourbon vanilla and Siam benzoin at the base. It comes in a 75 ml bottle and a 10 ml size.
Kilian Paris files Midnight Espresso among the amber gourmands and describes it in three stages: coffee and rum at the top, chocolate and hazelnut at the heart, Bourbon vanilla and Siam benzoin at the base.
From coffee to vanilla
Coffee and rum open the composition, which the house describes as intensely deep. They melt into a warm accord of chocolate and hazelnut that occupies the heart of the fragrance.
Bourbon vanilla and Siam benzoin form the base. The house wants them smooth and velvety, like the end of a drink taken late at night.
What the label declares
Denatured alcohol, fragrance and water open a short list. Next come tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, an ambery woody material, coumarin, vanillin, rose ketones and benzyl benzoate.
BHT, an antioxidant, three UV filters and a stabilizer, tris(tetramethylhydroxypiperidinol) citrate, complete the list. Three colorants, blue CI 42090, red CI 14700 and yellow CI 19140, tint the juice a copper brown.
