Wanted Girl By Night

Wanted Girl by Night is a smash hit of a blind buy for me. I love sweet scents, and sometimes I just want a simple fruity vanilla-sweet fragrance with little to no "mature" base notes. My skin is slightly acidic in pH and amps up base notes, hence why I tend to reach for vanilla-based scents. It is incredible how there are no fruit notes listed here. If you want an idea, the closest real-life comparison is a grape Tootsie roll pop (depth of chocolate without chocolate) and a dollop of very sweet cream. Wanted Girl By Night has a deeply satisfying dark berry sans any bitey/sharp/bitter aftersmell. No sourness, just a fresh, sweet candy bliss. Think of the vibrant fruitiness in Ginevra White, without the powderiness. Or the gorgeous pure grape juice opening of My Way Floral. I just tried Wanted Girl by Night during the warm hours of the day today, and it was light enough to wear indoors (even before the A/C came on). I sprayed once on each arm, three on the midriff, and the scent was enough for me to notice without overwhelming. For those of you scared by the patchouli, don't be. At least consider this if you can tolerate a tiny bit of patchouli. It is very light-- just enough to make this fragrance more upscale than a body spray. It is never sweaty or dirty like a lot of people describe Angel EDP's patchouli. It doesn't even come close to the quite-strong earthiness of the Angel Muse line. I do not agree that Wanted Girl By Night is necessarily immature or unsophisticated, especially for people sensitive to woody scents like myself. It's not complex, challenging, or classically elegant like YSL Libre Le Parfum , JPG La Belle, nor a rich, spicy amber perfume. However, I do think the patchouli gives it the slightest earthy grounding and a touch of spice (maybe the rum does it too). Think of the slight earthiness in clean profiles like Versace Dylan Blue or YSL Black Opium Illicit Green. I'm looking forward to using this as an all-season fragrance when I have a sweet tooth.

Does macerating actually work? It smells so much better than it did in July. I've been wanting to give it another chance for a while now but seeing how a bad scent can easily ruin my mood for nearly the whole day I've been avoiding WGBN like plague since my first impression of it left a lot to be desired and I hate patchouli. It used to be very intense overpowering patchouli from start to finish. Now, it smells like grape juice in the opening, much more than before, and I also get stronger whipped cream scent and I dig it. When I inhale it deeply, there's such pleasant sweetness I really wish to ingrain upon my memory. I don't know how to explain it poetically but it truly feels like you take in the scent of whipped cream. Deliciously gourmand, that one. I don't like booze in any shape or form so it's still a miss for me; just like real booze - even the mere smell of it that is - it makes me feel weird. Props for making it authentic though. It smells exquisite actually, just not my cup of tea (wink wink) Overall it's whipped cream that turned it around to me, in some fragrances it smells cheap and annoying but here it is the opposite. Sadly top notes fade away rather quickly and it becomes more patchouli-forward which gets a no from me. I didn't want to go to bed with this scent still on my skin as it just made me fee uneasy so I washed it off which toned down the intensity but up close it started smelling of patchouli even more. Patchouli gives the fragrance some depth and mintiness but also an off-putting dirty undertone as is usually the case with that note. Why not just use tonka beans instead... Sigh. And I still feel like it's somewhat soapy, in the same way Crystal Noir is soapy perhaps? Luckily I only have 30ml and might actually finish it one day. It's certainly interesting and so close to being good.

Honestly, this might not be the most sophisticated perfume, but I have to admit I love it. It makes me think of nights out, but in a very innocent and fun way. Like putting on a cute dress, drinking a couple of cocktails with your girlfriends and dancing the night away with no creeps, snobs or other unpleasant people in sight and no headache on the next day. Like I imagined partying when I was a child, with all my knowledge coming from teen magazines and pop songs. It's a girly, fun, carefree fragrance with the slightest hint of mystery and mischief. Wanted Girl by Night has a fizzy, 'purple' scent of white florals that are remiscent of grape flavored candies or soda. The rum and patchouli add a boozy dark chocolate note, so the opening also reminds me of pralinés with a berry or grape filling. The cream note is rather subtle and only for texture. I wouldn't mind if it was a little stronger, but it's also fine the way it is. I understand why some users voted this as similar to L'Interdit, they're definitely in the same category of sweet white florals, but to me they're not the same at all. L'Interdit is very bright and high-pitched, Wanted Girl by Night is somewhat darker, warmer and more gourmand, which is much more to my taste. Generally there are a lot of designer fragrances that go into the same direction, but the rum adds a little extra allure to Wanted Girl by Night. I'm not sure if I need it in my collection, but I definitely wouldn't give it away if it suddenly appeared out of the blue.

I wore this for date night last night. My boyfriend really liked it and he complimented me in the car. We had dinner on the patio of a restaurant and then went to a bar that by the end of the night was packed like a club. This projected through the changes in scenes and even in the crowded bar. It was a Caribbean bar and one thing, we Caribbean people have a heavy hand with fragrances and this still stood out. In the dry down, the rum note is not as long-lasting as the whipped cream note. Drydown is a bit marshmallowy with a touch of jammy-ness and I like that. I’m an unapologetic oversprayer and I don’t see this becoming cloying because it’s so smooth. Then again I’m partial to lactonic and creamy—I find tuberose and bubble gum (often used in other purple scents) cloying and thankfully this is neither. Back to the date though—I wore a deep matte plum lip and the fragrance complimented my dark summer seductress vibe. Once home, I fell asleep before my bf could get back inside from letting the dog out 😂 but the next morning it was still on my clothes. It’s worth a back up bottle (or two) considering the price and easiness of wear for me.

I'm beyond glad I didn't end up getting rid of it like I had wanted because while experimenting with my least used perfumes I've discovered that spraying on a wrist and rubbing the wrists together almost always dilutes patchouli and any other harsh & unpleasant notes to an acceptable level. Wearing it like that I barely pick up any patchouli in this fragrance and the obvious booziness is also taken down a notch. From grape candy the scent transforms into naturalistic gourmand whipped cream sweeter than any vanilla, sugar or marshmallow note, deliciously saccharine and a bit buttery, with a faint albeit traceable undercurrent of dusty, prickly cereus that didn't come through at all when I tried wearing it normally and that gives the fragrance a bold and refreshing edge, grounds it a little. Deep, novel, intoxicating and sensual. Probably the sweetest perfume I own, surpassing even Pink Sugar & the Good Girl line. This is everything LVEB & the like could've been, miles ahead of it as is. The juice itself is dark purple so beware.

Just picked this up yesterday at shoppers. I really don't understand these notes at all because all I get is some sort of red fruit/raspberry (yet none is listed) I get the cream and not much patchouli, if at all. It lasts an ok amount of time on me (about 4 hours then skin scent) it could be better for the price point. It's not as sweet as one would think with the notes... It's not LVEB sweet... Not flowerbomb or MJ Daisy love type of sugarbomb. This reminds me of a more smoky, sexier version of Cacharel's Yes I Am but it's not so dark and loud that I would only wear it at night or "out" or something. I would feel comfortable wearing this anywhere. Bottom line: I really like this and don't mind paying the full price for it as a special treat to myself (I rarely pay full price but couldn't find this on any discount sites because it's really new) if you enjoy fruity sweet scents (again, not sickening sweet) then it's a good choice.

This wasn't even on my radar until my favourite fragrance friend raved to me about it, so when I saw it in Shoppers today, I made a beeline to it. And......she was 100% right!! This is amazing!!! 🤩 I must admit that I have no idea what Cereus smells like (night blooming or otherwise), and I don't pick up any rum. I get a creamy cassis scent that, to my nose, is nearly identical to "Flowerbomb Nectar", but without the strong 'gunpowder' note to it! (I personally also find it more similar to "Yes I Am" than to "L'Interdit".) This is quite a sweet scent, so if you don't enjoy sugary/syrupy scents you will probably want to avoid this! I am loving this, and will definitely be looking for a discounted bottle (or gift set) of this, to use once my current bottle of "Flowerbomb Nectar" is finished!

Sweet and syrupy US grape fragrance, with a slight undertone of some rich spirit, but ultimately a fruity, artificial purple smelling syrup that is flirty and fun. As someone who doesn't love sweet fragrances, I think this is addictively delicious. This lasts all day on me and is a total wow when I smell it. It just makes me smile and feel happy. I have over 100 fragrances and this is truly one of my favourites, and yeah, I'm as shocked as you... I'm in the UK and it's impossible to find here, I don't understand Azzaro's distribution focus on male marketed fragrances in the UK, nor its US focus overall, surely this brand is L'Oreal just like Valentino, Prada, Mugler, Lancôme and several other brands, so why are female marketed Azzaro fragrances so hard to find in the UK?

On first smell, I found this to be a super generic grape-y sort of scent, but then I decided to give it a real test and wear it and I fell a little bit in love. The dry down, for me, is sweet and creamy with a little bit of warmth that I think comes from that rum note - not boozy at all, just a sweet warmth that you might associate with a creamy cocktail of some sort - and the fruit shifts into something darker like plum rather than grape. On me it does become more of a skin scent after a couple of hours, but it does definitely stick around on my skin all day. I would say don't blind buy this one - get a sample and give it a wear test to see if it works for you, because it seems like this one is super polarize and probably pretty subjective.

This perfume opens up with a sweet almost grape/dark berries candy scent. The creaminess from the whipped cream is lovely in the dry down. I recommend this perfume to people who enjoy sweet gourmand perfumes. It’s a nice scent for fall/winter evenings out. It’s similar to Flowerbomb Nectar, but without the metallic gunpowder scent. Wanted Girl by Night smells more fruity and creamier, and not as many layers as FB Nectar. The atomizer could be better...I find it sprays in a very concentrated circle(a tad bigger than a quarter) instead of a mist with a bigger radius. The projection and longevity of this perfume is really good! A little goes a long way and the scent will last in your clothing for days. It’s definitely a compliment getter.

So I have the original. Then I bought tonic and fell madly in love, and I had a mini tiny bit left so today I went in and bought the tonic but then two seconds later exchanged it for this lol. This is BEAUTIFUL! It has this intoxicating smell to it that you just can’t help but constantly smell it on your skin or clothes etc. I had sprayed one spray on my wrist then after I bought tonic, even with my mask on, all I could smell was this. I HAD to exchange it! The stated notes confuse me so I can say what I smell exactly but it seems like there is some kind of deep berry note with a beautiful creamy note (whipped cream I assume) it is absolutely stunning! Do NOT miss out on this! Seriously!!!

I love it so much! It was a blind buy but so worth it,idk if i was lucky but i found 30ml for 23 euros which its pretty cheap. It smells exactly like grape fanta but after a while it changes into slight rum smell but not too strong and even though i barely sweat ,the longevity is around 2 hours at best ,unless u bathe yourself in this perfume in which,i fear, you wouldn't do it since its discontinued. It is pretty sweet so if u don't like gourmand perfumes u might think the smell is artificial and too strong.

LOVE! This is beautiful and a super sexy scent. This smells like grape juice at first spray but really settles and softens into the whipped cream rum phase quickly. God, I this is great for a designer scent! This is the fragrance you wear on a date. I don’t get too much patch thou, only a little in the background. During the spring and summer this is best for evening. This is a non hyped gem get it before it gets discontinued. Highly recommended 10/10 longevity is excellent and so is sillage.

One of my favourite fragrances- I first smelt it on my sister and was obsessed. It smells like a party girl who’s prowling around in the shadows, going bar hopping before stopping by the graveyard for some shenanigans with her friends. Opens like a boozy, sweet well balanced grape soda. This reminds me of Kesha every time i wear it for some reason- i think it’s because it’s boozy, wild and sweet. My boyfriend likes this one a lot on me and i get lots of compliments when i wear it.

Y'ALL HEAR ME OUT, this is the MOST BEAUTIFUL perfume I've ever tried... It embodies mystery & a sublime scent I just love so, so much! This right here is my favorite perfume now. It has to be the Night Blooming Cereus, I guess... I believe Flowerbomb Midnight by V&R has got Night Blooming Jasmine instead, which I didn't find as amazing as this night time blooming fella. ETERNAL LONGEVITY & SCARY HUGE SILLAGE, IT'S GORGEOUS...

got a sample of it and oh. my. God. I have to say I'm new to the fragrance game, but this little baby is just so delicious! the sillage and longevity r both kinda crazy.. I sprayed it on my hair at the beginning of the day, came back from work, took a shower & washed my hair and could STILL smell it.. highly recommend it if you like grape-ey (?) fragrances. extremely sad u can't really get it in eastern europe apparently 🫠

This is the most delicious smelling boozy gourmand, I adore it. I understand the other reviews saying that this smells like grape candy, but I get something more than that; like a plum mixed with whipped cream mixed with rum. You could wear it to a romantic date, a gala event, and at home cozied up with blankets. A favorite of mine, but I wouldn't recommend it as a blind buy, especially if you aren't a fan of sweet scents

This is so nice. I’ve gotten to smell it and spray it on me about half dozen times now from the testers at SDM and I love it. I will say that I have the original and tonic and tonic is actually one of my favourites out there for a girly perfume. This one is much deeper and reminds me of like a JPG Scandal type or CH- Good Girl type fragrance. I love it it’s so beautiful!!!

Love this perfume! It's so warm but fruity and sweet all at the same time. I have been obsessed with it lately and wear it all the time. It has such an adorable bottle and is great for the price which is usually around $95 cad for 50ml which lasts quite a long time. You don't have to use a full spray on yourself for this perfume, it's very concentrated and long lasting!

This is so delicious. My new favourite gourmand. I never would’ve tried this, but the sales associate at Shoppers sprayed it on a card and passed it to me. Wow! I fell head over heels for it. It is very, very sweet. But a grown up, womanly sweet. It is boozy and creamy. Absolutely seductive. The bottle is stunning too. What’s not to love about this gorgeous perfume?
