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 self-assured noses were presented with the same ingredients and were to create their own interpretation in the form of a fragrance. One, a "still freshly in love" perfumer named Juliette, came up with Changing Constance, while the other, Stéphane, a moody bachelor who enjoys mingling in British manors until midnight, presented Minuit et Demi. Both follow their own philosophy. One expresses it diplomatically, the other directly and bluntly, but both mean well for us.

Note: the above passage contains fictional character traits and lifestyles
Fairly speaking, both fragrances are "overpriced," especially considering what they ultimately offer us. When calculated per 100 ml, both cost the same. With CC, I can overlook this due to its outstandingly beautiful bottle. In my subjective and irrelevant opinion, Minuit et Demi would have been more appropriately priced at 80-100€ less, or at least if a 50 ml variant were offered for 150€. If you factor in shipping and customs depending on where you reside, this fragrance leaves a bitter taste.
You pay - as always and everywhere - primarily for the name of the houses and their bottle creations, unless both houses have bred a "Tspinne" - a tobacco-weaving spider - in a joint laboratory that secretes a slightly salty, caramel-scented musk as pheromones.

Changing Constance is - to put it politely - an olfactory interruptus: hardly reaching the main character of the fragrance, the experience is already over.
With Minuit et Demi, I must say that when sprayed on clothing (!), it is indeed perceptible until the next day (by student time standards), and the more you push your nose into the fabric, the more you notice it.
The pimento is wonderfully detectable for a long time and gives the spicy composition a peppery note, which harmonizes pleasantly with the cardamom and subsequently with the caramel and vanilla. The coffee, on the other hand, is hardly noticeable, and you don’t miss it either.
Both are great fragrances with quirks and edges that don’t hold much in terms of sillage and projection.
CC is definitely a bit more feminine and softer than Minuit et Demi.
Those with a sensitive nose that easily gets itchy from "piercing" scents will be better served with Changing Constance or should avoid spraying Minuit et Demi directly on the décolletage.
Part of the disappointment some feel about the fragrance certainly stems from the expectations that were raised. On the other hand, the scarcity and limitation of this fragrance also tempt one to buy it.

At the end of the day, a fragrance that evokes positive emotions has definitely done something right.

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.

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.

Is Parfumo being infiltrated by trolls? :D I haven't tested the scent myself, but I doubt that 0.8 is justified.

A very finely nuanced gourmand, where the caramel sweetness is cleverly toned down by wood, spices & a hint of coffee. Invites you to cuddle.

Cardamom, not bad, per se,
sweet caramel, subtle coffee.
But here our journey ends,
because you are just too quiet for me.

Amazing. It pleasantly surprised me. A gourmand that luckily doesn't smell like cake. A bit too sweet. Seductive. It's really good.

For my male nose, a very sensual, attractive scent. The rather reserved sillage makes it all the more interesting... Beautiful!

Delicious gourmand that reminds me of gingerbread and spice cake. Plus milk coffee with a splash of alcohol. Beauty doesn’t have to be loud.
