Messe de Minuit Eau de Toilette Spray

Messe de Minuit by Etro is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men.

Messe de Minuit was launched in 1994.

While many incense perfumes have the tendency to carry the associations of dusty dark churches to the point that they border between mysterious and depressing, this luminous odour is Catholic mass in a bottle. Adorable, warm, resinous, delicious.


Top notes are woodsy notes, galbanum, bergamot and mandarin orange; middle notes are myrhh and cinnamon; base notes are patchouli, vanilla, amber, musk and honey.
Messe de Minuit opens with a burst of citrus fruits -  bergamot, orange and lemon and ends in musk rounded with incense.

Online Review:"I have to agree about churchy Messe de Minuit ~ Wow!! It is a very good and exact rendition of the typical smell of ancient well kept, not too dusty Catholic churches and even more Orthodhox churches!
"This is the closest thing to a real churchy midnight mass incense that I know. It has that gorgeous aroma down perfectly. I don't know what went into the incense I remember or whether there was any Myrrh in it at all, but this Etro fragance is reminiscent. Even if you don't think that smelling like a church at Christmas is a good thing, this one is definitely worth a try. Don't think this is a head shop smelling incense or a burnt smelling one because it isn't. It is posh and rich smelling."
