Raspberry blending with woods, resins, spicy, an effective cold-weather blend.
Sampling the most recent release from Day Three Fragrances, a subtly sharp, semi-sweet blend of raspberry, cedar, pink pepper, coriander, saffron, and oud. Tart and sweet raspberry plays against a spicy woody mix, which seems very much in balance, without any single element standing out negatively. The raspberry blends into the saffron and spices, especially, and particularly as the fragrance dries down, it’s challenging to discern where the raspberry ends and other elements begin, but the raspberry does at least remain a good part of the mix well into the dry down, even though some of the elements predictably start to take over a bit. I find it to be a good mix of provocation and comfort; it demands attention but is well-constructed, somewhat smooth but also sharp in a way that catches the nose, and begs to be smelled over and over, perhaps the best single sign of a fragrance.
It feels like a bit of an homage to the house’s discontinued Silent Rescue and Midnight Whisper, sharing some features with each, so it’s nice to see their legacy in Midnight Raspberry. It is extrait concentration and is therefore at a higher price point than most of the line’s EDPs, at $250 for 50ml, and is currently only sold on the house website, but I expect it will soon be available via other points of sale in the US, including great boutiques like Perfumology.
Overall, I’m big fan of the scent, but the pricing makes it a bit more challenging to onboard. It’s hard to deny the quality and creativity of the work, though, so bravo to Michael Paul for yet another outstanding release.
