Silver Scent Midnight

I tracked down a bottle of this rare juice. The SS signature orange blossom/tonka grape soda accord is definitely here (as though anyone expected otherwise...), and it would be easy for some to lump the whole SS lineup into this LAZY categorization, but we of the Bogart Appreciation Society know better. There ARE differences between the SS flankers, and it takes a highly sensitive nose trained in advanced chemical warfare to tell the difference. I think what sets this one apart is the use of artemisia and sage. It definitely has an herbal undertone compared to the other SS flankers. It smells "modernly masculine" in the same vein as other recent releases that feature herbal elements: YSL Y, Mr Burberry Indigo, etc. But of course Bogart does it better. It's youthful but not juvenile. There is, I detect, a trace element of Bogart Pour Homme/OMS in all Bogart fragrances: that synthetic-older-man thing that makes all Bogarts more interesting than the fraternity bro shower gel fragrances out there. Verdict: I love it and will wear it when I want something fun, long lasting, and informal. It can work in cold or warm weather due to its aromatic/sweet combination- nothing heavy like amber or oud. Long may House Bogart reign as the king of beast mode cheapies.

This is great, if I had to pick one Silver Scent, it would be this one, it feels like it smells a little bit of everything from that line. Still potent, but not as challenging. Also, the more I wear it and the more I like it, while other Silver Scents are definitely fun to wear, but tiring on the long run. It does have a fresh and juicy opening, with grapefruit, synthetic for sure, but less harsh than SS or SSI for instance. I might be influenced by the "Reminds me of" section, but it definitely reminds me of Y EDP, or any other Blue that is the trend nowadays. It just smells more interesting and full-bodied. It transitions into something more floral and creamy in the mid, with a more pronounced orange blossom accord, and Tonka. It’s fresh and sweet overall, a bit herbal, but it has depth and doesn't feel too juvenile, so it would make a perfect 4 seasons scent.

Very nice :) silver sent DNA mmmmm! i thought more Bogarte pour Homme floating about with a touch of storie red and much sweater than both. there is nothing harsh about this one and seems quite smooth to my nose. its certainly strong and hope the longevity is as good. The grapefruit is a support player only just adding to the sweetness. for 19.99 id say this was a solid buy and worthy of an everyday signature sent. i wonder if the autumn and winter will amp it up as that seems to be the suggestion of others. so far its a solid 7.5 from me. its a chuck on and smell good type of smell, its strong but not offensive, sweet but again not bubblegum offensive.

This is a sweet fresh fragrance with that Silver Scent DNA. It's sweeter than Silver Scent Aqua, and maybe most of the other Silver Scent flankers. It's been too long since I smelled YSL Y so I can't make that comparison. I can say it's in similar vibe to Invictus or Wanted. I'd say Midnight is a great name for this actually. To me this doesn't really smell like a "blue" fragrance, or generic at all. It smells like the bottle should be dark purple instead of dark blue. Although it's a very versatile fragrance that works in any situation or season.

I'd call this the quiet achiever of the Silver Scent line. Lots of versatility. Cannot think of a season or situation where this won't work. It starts off with a kick-ass grapefruit opening, which is even fresher and more invigorating than SS Pure. Then, as it evolves and settles into the Silver Scent DNA, it offers a little sophistication. Less grape soda and more grape spritzer. Far less metallic than standard Silver Scent too.
