Midnight Silhouette

Got this as a sample with my fragrance order and kept thinking it reminded me of something but I couldn't figure out what. Then it came to me - the pipe tobacco my father used on occasion. Smells exactly the same as the unlit pipe tobacco he used. That's how all the blended notes smell to my nose. Crazy thing is, I like it! Anything that can bring back the memory of my father smoking his pipe is a good thing. It's worth a purchase just for that. Update - I wore the sample outside today and all I can say is "Wow!" This is quite the compliment getter, and all from men! I went to a function this afternoon and about 10 men at different times told me I smelled "great; fantastic; amazing; gorgeous; beautiful; etc." Many even asked me what the fragrance was because they wanted to purchase it (some didn't say whether for themselves or someone else). This has to be the record holder for compliments of any perfume I've ever worn since I started wearing perfume decades ago. So listen up girls (and guys); want to make an impression on that special someone? Wear this! Oh, and it lasts all day. I can still smell it strongly at 11pm tonight since I first put it on at 11am today. Amazing! I sure hope the bottle I ordered performs the same way. Update - It does. Just want to add the bottle has this sparkly material on it that feels like sandpaper and the box smells very chemically from the dye used to color it. Strangest thing I've ever experienced with a perfume.

To me, and to my guy, this fragrance is a marvel of delight! I would say that it is not at all sweet, praline and candy notwithstanding. There is a fragrance like sweet hay that's just been brought into the barn loft; a grassy smell that reminds me of lying in a field, wildflowers here and there, a faint scent of honeysuckle wafting from the house gardens behind the fields. And underlying it, the warm, rich, herbal fragrance of vetiver. And in this, the musk actually smells like musk! Have they finally found a synthetic that matches deer musk? I sure hope so. I don't want the dear little deer to be killed for their scent, ever, but I sure do miss real musk oil. There's nothing to equal it. Anyway, I got this perfume at the same time I bought Commodity Velvet Expressive, and they seemed very similar for having such dissimilar fragrance trees. I put the Velvet E. on one wrist, and the Midnight Silhouette on the other, and went downstairs to my boyfriend. (We were off for a pre-New Year's Eve dinner later, so I was getting set for the night.) He sniffed both wrists several times. He liked both, but he chose the Silhouette, thinking it fresher and more appealing for a dinner engagement. Today, I'm going to wear the Velvet and then I'll have a review on it to write. MS lasted well into the night, and there was still a faint ghost on my skin in the morning. That's what I'm looking for. Perfumers, keep it up!

I really really love this! It smells like a pretty boy that’s got everything together. When I say pretty boy I mean young Harry Styles pretty, not just good looking. I could see this on a woman too! It’s lovely! It starts with smelling like salted, dried orange with vetiver giving it a slightly woody earthy feel and then goes into the praline and sweet notes making it less intimidating and more comforting. It’s so addicting and lovely! Can’t believe they chose to market this towards women only, this smells so androgynous and unisex! Anyone could wear this and I wouldn’t question it! This almost smells like an office scent but with personality! Would be good in any weather, any occasion, any time of the day. Such a good scent and so underrated! Longevity is good and especially good on clothes. This lasts for days on fabric without losing any of the notes! Sillage is great too! This doesn’t match my personality but I would love to smell this on someone else. If you like Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt, but want something sweeter and more complex, try this!! Scent: 8.5/10 Longevity: 8/10 Sillage: 8/10 Price: 7/10 (Ok priced for a perfume this good) School Friendly! May be Work Friendly if you spray lightly! Would recommend a blind buy, if you want a sweet, citrusy but sultry and androgynous scent with depth, that is wearable! Age: Anyone 17+ Yours Truly, Yuzu 🍊

Dear Mr. Siriano - I do not know if you spend anytime on Fragrantica but if you do, let me take a moment to thank you. As we learned from your fashion designs, your *quirky* sensibilities masked a far deeper appreciation for aesthetics, balance, beauty and nuance. Knowing this, despite the *quirky* bottle, I should have expected no less from your fragrance line. Perhaps it was the cost - I simply figured at this price, finding a FB worthy scent from your house was too good to be true. I now own three of your fragrances as part of my larger collection and I reach for them often. Once again you have exceeded expectations. Midnight Silhouette is a creamy, delicious perfume, with just the slightest touch of salt atop the citrus opening. The mid notes are expertly blended to achieve a smokey sugared floral, it then settles beautifully into a sweetened, warm vetiver musk base. While I wish it lingered a bit longer - at this price I can keep spritzing throughout the day. Thank you again XO - A fragrance fan

To say this is a rich & luxurious fragrance is an understatement...this is an evening fragrance...something you'd wear to a ball or masquerade... definitely classy "old money" scent. This is so well and smoothly blended together I can't pick out any of the notes. I do get a bit of salt, and a unique, unusual musky sweetness which could be the praline and "sweet notes". This scent is to die for. This is like Gotham at midnight (90's batman and batman returns) with darkness, mystique and elegance and all the rich people you'd imagine in the beautiful sleek, skyscrapers, drinking wine, eating caviar talking about money. This stuff is just gorgeous and is my favorite Christians Siriano fragrance so far. I want this to be my secret, so when people been asking what I'm wearing, I've been telling people it's an oil that I've picked up from a metaphysical shop lol. Most people don't people believe me since this just smells so good, and then I just 'forget' the name of the fragrance all together!!
