Manhattan Midnight

I've heard all the thing about City Rythm, the artificial hype, the mild controversy surrounding the original nose for the brand, the over the top presentation, with all that being said, I genuinely think this is a personal top 3 fragrance of all time for me, it's a bit nostalgic for me, as I smelled this on someone during the first ever trip to Pittsburgh in the beginning of 2026, I had to ask them what it was, and I was pointed this masterpiece, it's a nice smooth complex tea & spice blend that I can't get enough of. For what you pay for (roughly $180-$200 for full size) you get a beautiful, weighty bottle with a satisfying heavy cap and good pressurized atomizer, the scent, as others have said, does last a loooong time, not to mention the huge projection. For how good & lasting this is I think it's an excellent price, especially compared to designer frags. I personally don't like spending more than $200 for 100ml most of the time unless it's a small time niche brand with high oil concentration. (Shout-out Team Clean, VOYDE, and funny enough, Prisma Parfums, which is ran by the original nose behind City Rythm, who I recommend you check out & compare the fragrances that are the OG formulations of some City Rythm fragrances.) All in all, I can't get enough of Manhattan Midnight, it's sophisticated, addicting, great for dressing up or being casual while wanting to smell fresh. My ONLY complaint for this, and it goes for every full size bottle from City Rythm unfortunately, is the unnecessary glitter added to the juice.

This fragrance is loved by every single person that has ever smelled it on me. I don't know why Fragrantica and other places have such polarizing reviews because in real life, people love this stuff. I am no exception. I was honestly scared after seeing all the bad reviews because I blind bought it since my collection was lacking a unique winter scent. You probably shouldn't blind buy it like I did, but I definitely don't regret it. If I can apply an image to this fragrance it would be like walking in a park on a snowy winter night, with a nice warm tea in your hands and a guy standing roughly a football field away smoking a clove cigarette (but in the best way possible). Streetlights dimly lighting the path you are walking on, and whiffs of pine coming from the Christmas tree seller down the street. It gets plenty of compliments, and is absolutely amazing performance wise just like all the City Rhythm I have tried. If you want a unique Winter signature I couldn't personally recommend anything better.

This is genuinely my most favorite cologne I own (at this time) in my collection. Everything about it is perfect. The bottle is nice, really pressurized atomizer, cool bottle and the juice has sparkles in it, how cool is that! Sadly, I only have a 30ml at the moment, however I expect it to last me a long time. MM is fresh and clean but has this sophisticated dark and rich smell to it. It may remind some people of blue energy drinks, I get that but it slowly fades away, the sweetness tones down and makes it smoother. This stuff is a HEAVY hitter as well, has around 10-12 hours of projection and lasts around 17 hours!! Everything about this fragrance is perfect and I really recommend everyone to try it at least once. 9.6/10

This is a very nice scent - and I can understand the comparisons to gph 2. The opening is similar to gph 2 - but the dry down distances itself by having a bit more depth and is a bit darker and denser. In general, I find this to be a pretty calming, inoffensive scent without going the typical “blue” direction. As a lover of GPH 2, I’m so happy to have something in the same category. It’s truly an all occasion scent that can be dressed up or down - and seems to perform pretty well. I can generally understand the hype around it - although I don’t personally feel that it could ever live up to it, it’s definitely and undeniably quality scent that departs from the typical formula you’d find on a Macy’s counter. Nice stuff.

After months of constantly checking Fragrantica to see if this has finally been added, the day is here. I got midnight soon after it came out and have adored it since. It smells like if you mixed blue Powerade and raspberry tea together and added some nice spices to smooth it out. It's SUPER unique and also mass appealing at the same time. Will pull you many compliments and can be worn by someone no matter the age. I'd say it definitely leans masculine, but can easily be pulled off by women as well. One of the most beautifully blended tea fragrances I've ever smelled. Performance is amazing too. Highly suggest looking into this one! Smell 10/10 Longevity 8/10 Sillage 7/10 Compliments 10/10
