Waste of money
This is watered down Prada Candy with cardamom on top. Very feminine and somewhat old lady smelling. If you had grandma obsessed with eating Werthers Original, this is pretty much the short description of the fragrance - candy eating grandma.

I am so disappointed in this. Absolutely not worth the price. Longevity and sillage are non existent which makes this purchase even more sad. One big loss of money. Think twice before purchasing a bottle that you can't sample. Don't repeat my mistake.

Poor performance and unfortunately a pass for me!
I am gutted - this perfume has a beautiful and unique composition. I personally have also been a big supporter of Demi Rawling and I really like the design of FDB bottles. Unfortunately, I have, however, decided against buying this perfume as the poor performance of it has simply not convined me. For this pricepoint, I expect a perfume to be lasting at least 6-7 hours without needing to be re-applied. For Minuit et Demi, I could, however, barely smell it after 3 hours …

This might be my skin chemistry but I thus not bought the perfume! Might have to get my nose on Changing Constance and hope that the reviews on it‘s poor performance might work better on my skin. ;)

Dark, sweet, spicy coffee for dark, cold times
I'm not hugely into YouTube and have never watched a Demi Rawling video in my life, so my review is coming from a completely neutral perspective.

This is a lovely spicy gourmand for cold days and nights. It's true that it's similar to Penhaligons Changing Constance, but it's not exactly the same. I think I love Constance a little more because of the enhanced caramel, but Minuit et Demi is also very good.

It starts out with lots of cardamom and coffee, dark and spicy, but still sweet. To my nose it also smells a lot like high quality dark chocolate, I think this is due to the coffee and woods mixed with sweet vanilla. The opening is a bit drier than in Changing Constance, but in the heart phase they get very close. The caramel is really delicious here, very creamy and not burned or crunchy, which is a nice contrast to the cardamom and the darker note. After the final drydown the scent loses a bit of sweetness and turns woodsier, which is still good, but the heart is more enjoyable to me personally.

All in all a strong like for me!

Expensive for what it is
Very vanilla and caramel smelling perfume that reminds me of cheaper teenager perfumes. It’s not terrible, don’t get me wrong, but for the price it is insane to buy it when Candy Gloss is so much cheaper. I’ve smelled similar scents by so many other makers. It’s not unique. There’s a powdery scent note in there that makes it youthful. Not my style, unfortunately.

Rivals for life
Two confident noses were given the same ingredients and asked to create their own interpretation in the form of a fragrance. One "still as freshly in love as the first day" perfumer named Juliette came up with Changing Constance, the other, Stéphane, a moody bachelor who likes to hang out in British stately homes until midnight, came up with Minuit et Demi. Both follow their own philosophy. One expresses it diplomatically, the other directly and bluntly, but both mean only well by us.

Note: above passage contains imputed character traits and lifestyles
To be fair, it must be said that both fragrances are "overpriced" especially in view of what they put before us summa summarum. Extrapolated to 100 ml both cost the same. In the case of CC, I can overlook this due to its outstanding-looking bottle. In my subjective and irrelevant opinion, 80-100€ less would have been more appropriate for Minuit et Demi, or at least if they offered a 50 ml variant for 150€. If necessary, add shipping and customs depending on where you reside, this fragrance gets an angry-bitter aftertaste.
One pays - as always and everywhere - of course rather for the name of the houses and their flacon creations, unless both houses have bred a "Tspinne" - that is, a tobacco weaving spider - in a joint laboratory, which secretes a slightly salty, caramel-like smelling musk as pheromones.

Changing Constance is - to put it in terms of manners - an olfactory interruptus: hardly arrived at the main character of the fragrance, the experience is already over.
In the case of Minuit et Demi, I must say that, sprayed on clothing (!), it is indeed perceptible until the next day (according to student time calculation) and the more so the deeper you press your nose into the top.
The allspice one smells out wonderfully over time and gives the spicy composition a peppery note, which harmonizes in a pleasant way with the cardamom and subsequently with the caramel and vanilla. The coffee, on the other hand, one does not perceive at all and one does not miss him, however.
Both are great scents with quirks and edges that do not hold much of sillage and projection.
CC is definitely a bit more feminine and softer than Minuit et Demi.
Who has a sensitive nose, which easily gets itchy from "pungent" smells, is better served with Changing Constance or should not spray Minuit et Demi directly on the décolleté.
Part of the disappointment of some about the fragrance is certainly based on the expectations that were stoked. On the other hand, the scarcity and limitation of this fragrance also seduces to buy.

At the end of the day, a fragrance that arouses positive emotions in one, has in any case done what right.

A warm hug in a bottle. Sweet without being syrupy. It connects emotionally, but I can’t help feeling it plays a bit too safe.

Opens cardamom pastry (between Lune Feline & Starlight), dries sweet-woody with cashmeran & the mildest hint of smoky. Volatile performance.

Smells like fail.I get the sweaty odour caramel vibes from it. Performance is non existing. I'd rather get 50ml of Oud Orange or Oud Jaune.
