Midnight in Milan

To me, this perfume is a little bit of a sexy and mysterious night scent perfect for going out in the evening. Rose is a bit hit or miss for me, but it's done well here. To my nose, I mainly just get the rose but not in a cloyingly sweet or super fresh way. It's more like a rosewater scent or rose jam scent with a subtle hint of something else (I'm not quite sure what, maybe the blackcurrant and jasmine?) The sillage is not very big for me, but it lasts a long time. After about 2 hours it starts to sit close to the skin and becomes fairly subtle, it still smells great, but it becomes noticeably less sweet and floral (I think the amber sticks out the most from the base notes). I can't see myself wearing it every day as it's a little heavy for the daytime or work, but it's quite evocative and feminine in a grown-up way. I think the name 'Midnight in Milan' suits it very well, it definitely has a romantic sensual vibe to it but with a slight edge. EDIT: This has grown on me so much, I now feel like you can wear it anytime for any occasion. I love it. The only downside is I feel like you have to reapply after about 5-ish hours. It will still be on your skin after 5 hours but it will be very subtle. Also, after wearing it more, I can now notice ever so slightly spicy and earthy notes to it which I love. Maybe it's the saffron and base notes?

I am not a Rose girl and I am not a candle girl (glasshouse immediately makes me think of Peter Alexander) but picked this up while I was sulking and looking to spend some money on anything. Unbelievable. The first day I did sense some resemblance to BR, but I haven’t noticed that since. It’s non linear in a very literal sense, it seems to always be shifting, it never really settles or stagnates, but always delicious and never overpowering. The rose is fresh and juicy, there’s a sweetness that almost reminds me of like... a Cola? Something fresh and pine-y going on too. Not my usual style but I just love it. I have the 14ml, will upgrade to a 50ml likely soon. For a travel size in an already fairly affordable range the atomiser is very high quality, sprays extremely fine, no leaks.

This is absolutely to die for! I think it smells even better than the candle version, which is saying a lot. I mainly just smell the saffron and rose, it is unisex but more on the feminine side in my opinion. The silage and longevity are great and it smells so strong- you only need a couple of squirts. I have had family, friends, coworkers and even strangers compliment me on how good I smell. I think it smells like a mixture of BR540 and Coco Mademoiselle. I highly suggest giving it a sniff because it’s just gorgeous.

I really love this perfume. I tried it out and thought it honestly smelt like lychee. Even though that’s not a note listed here, it smells fruity and sweet to me. Def one of my favs in life that I’ve tried so far, recommended if you’re looking for a feminine, feel-good, light-hearted scent to boost love in yourself and those around you!

This smells very close to my favorite perfume - Elizabethan rose from Penhaligon’s. Obviously in a very different price category, but it’s still a very fresh elegant rose (fresh compared to like rose with patchouli, haaa), with an interesting twist (this time saffron). Cute, feminine and absolutely stunning. Love this.
