More about By Kilian Midnight Espresso
By Kilian Midnight Espresso is the espresso martini fragrance from Kilian's 2026 Cocktails Collection, an intoxicating amber gourmand composed by perfumer Mathieu Nardin. It opens on a jolt of dark roasted coffee and heady rum, the liquid heart of a midnight espresso martini poured into perfume. A velvety heart of chocolate and toasted hazelnut melts into a warm base of Siam benzoin and vanilla, leaving a boozy, sweet, addictive trail with impressive longevity and sillage. Sensual and unisex, By Kilian Midnight Espresso is made for evenings, date nights and cold-weather wear, a coffee lover's signature scent. Part of The Cocktails Collection alongside Pina Paraiso, it channels Kilian Hennessy's blend of decadence and craft.
