In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Reviews →

Midnight by RNDL opens with a punchy blast of rum and saffron before settling into a smoky, wood-heavy heart. This 2025 release leans into warm, boozy sweetness balanced by earthy vetiver and birch. It performs best during cold autumn nights, where its projection and heavy base notes really shine on the skin.
