Nusuk Fawah Midnight Edition: Which Notes Belong to It

This Dubai house release from Nusuk arrived in 2025 as an Eau de Parfum, and the bottle holds 80 ml. Most databases list it for men, while a number of retailers call it unisex, and the composition works for either.

Before the notes, a warning. Several pyramids for this fragrance are in circulation, and most of them belong to other perfumes. Here is the one that matches the bottle.

Midnight Edition Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Burnt Sugar, Apricot Blossom, Cardamom.
• Middle Notes: Cinnamon, Incense, Bark, Cashmeran.
• Base Notes: Leather, Cacao, Suede, Patchouli, Ambergris.

Factor the 80 ml into any price check. Most of the category comes in 100 ml, so this bottle holds about a fifth less than its neighbour on the shelf.

The scent, stage by stage

The start is sweet without tasting of fruit. Burnt sugar brings a caramelised, slightly scorched edge, cardamom adds a dry, green bite that pushes back, and apricot blossom sits beneath as a soft floral.

In the heart it darkens. Cinnamon pushes the spice forward, incense adds dry smoke, and cashmeran gives a clean woody musk. Bark contributes a raw, slightly green wood that stops the sweetness from cloying.

The drydown is where the name comes from. Leather and suede supply an animal softness, cacao adds bitterness against the opening sugar, and ambergris lends a saline glow alongside the patchouli.

Ranked by accord, warm spices lead, followed by amber and leather. Burnt sugar and cacao keep it sweet, yet the smoke keeps it far from dessert.

The other pyramids in circulation

Two alternative lists turn up. One puts honey, cinnamon and osmanthus first, with benzoin and labdanum behind them, with vanilla, tonka bean and musk forming its close. A third starts from saffron and pink pepper, with jasmine, ambroxan and oud sitting below.

The saffron list appears on a single listing and has no support anywhere else, so it can be discarded. The honey list is a real pyramid, but it belongs to a different perfume. Set against a 2013 fragrance from another house, seven of its eleven notes match, including every top and base note.

How it spread is ordinary. A shop described this fragrance by reference to that older one, the older list got pasted into a product record, and copies travelled between markets from there. It now appears on several country listings and in one database’s description.

The quick test: if a page lists honey, osmanthus and tonka bean, it is describing something else. The genuine fragrance starts on burnt sugar and closes on leather and cacao.

Shares one note with the 2023 Fawah

Fawah from 2023 is a fresh aromatic: lemon zest and lemon sit over lavender, patchouli, smoke and apple occupy the heart, and vanilla with vetiver finishes it.

Placing the two pyramids next to each other, patchouli is the only shared material. Everything else differs, so this is a separate perfume carrying a related name, not a darker take on the original. Anyone who loved the lemon and lavender brightness will not find it here.

More broadly, a Gulf release carrying the word Edition often introduces a new composition under an existing line name, not a reworking of one formula.

Fit for cold evenings

This suits someone who likes spiced leather that stays sweetened rather than dry. Burnt sugar and cacao make it more approachable than most leather scents, and the incense keeps it from tipping into dessert.

Look elsewhere if you want the original’s freshness or anything light. The fragrance stays dark, warm and close to the skin, with little brightness once the opening passes.
