At Dawn
The Different Company AFTER MIDNIGHT is one of the four new "L'Esprit Cologne" launches which are explained on the manufacturer's card thus:
"L'esprit est 'Cologne'
la concentration est Eau de Toilette
la création est un parfum"
Translation:
the spirit is that of a cologne
the concentration is that of an edt
the creation is that of a perfume
Huh. Okay. I guess that they're trying to say that this is not just some infusion of flowers? Well, anyway, I definitely agree that the spirit is that of a cologne. As with TOKYO BLOOM, AFTER MIDNIGHT has a very watery quality to it (I do not mean dilute...), making this seem more like AT DAWN to me. I always associate words like 'midnight' with dark oriental elixirs, and that is not what this is.
However, I could imagine wearing this at midnight on a hot summer night lying in bed naked under a ceiling fan. It's light and refreshing and cool, and somewhat floral but in a cologne style with, again, a slightly aquatic feeling. I cannot claim to be able to tease out any of the individual notes, but overall this smells pretty nice.
