Just got a sample of this in a swap, and I'm loving it! I don't get anything musty, depressing, or creepy from it, maybe because of not having all of the Catholic associations. It seems like a warm, cheerful scent to me. I can see how it could seem Christmas-y, but in a happy, not a cold way. At first I smell a little bit of citrus, a lot of cinnamon, sweet honey, and what I assume is ambrette. It dries down to a lovely spicy-honey-musky scent. There's not a lot of incense, especially compared to something like Avignon, which is pure incense (and one that I also love). I would wear Messe de Minuit any time. I think I would even spray it on myself, and that's saying a lot.

OMG! I have to agree with all previous reviewers about churchy Messe de Minuit! It is a very good and exact rendition of the typical smell of ancient well kept, not too dusty Catholic churches and even more Ortodhox churches! It is not something I would wear on myself. Definetely too reminiscent of a church, which is not my aim and would be annoying in a long time, but definetely an interesting, clear, and well crafted scent!

Yep - it is repeating the smell of the incense that is burnt in Catholic or Orthodox churches.Slightly sour, smokey, woodsy.Very bright glimpses of orange peel and wax candles.It is definitely not ordinary and will draw looks and comments!How is it possible to forget someone that smells like a wedding in a church?

I love it, my husband loves it, my kids love it - and we all went trick or treating wearing Messe de Minuit tonight! Very suitable!

I want very much to try & add this to my collection, especially because everyone is saying it smells like a Catholic Church. I, myself, am a strong Catholic and seeing as I love perfume so much, it would only make sense for me to own the smell of 'Midnight Mass' in a bottle. :-)

When I sprayed it on my skin at the first time, and labdanum notes made me feel myself in the church. I'm not a catholic, I belong to a Russian Orthodox Church, and it smells in our Russian churches like this perfume does. It was a strange and unusual feeling, like my room returned into a small Russian Orthodox chapel.
Then came some orange notes and it make me feel more comfortable. I think I will use it rarely.

OMG! it's a frickin' graveyard! I've got some creepy scents in my collection but this is by far the creepiest I've ever smelled! Heh, Halloween is going to be fun this year: dress like a corpse, smell like a corpse. Great!

I agree with CaraMia completely. There's a note in resin church incense that is at once sweet and slightly musty and this has it down pat. It is Catholic midnight Mass in a bottle. Lovely, warm, resinous, delightful. I can see the candlelight streaming through stained glass right now...

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. My only qualm is that it should last longer, but 4 hours can get me though a nuce evening.

I love it!
