Eau de Minuit - Midnight Fragrance

I am unsure as to why this fragrance has been classed oriental floral? It is nearly identical to the LL signature fragrance, I have a difficulty distinguishing Midnight and LL in terms of notes. Midnight is somewhat slightly stronger and has far better longetivity than LL. The fragrance is really 'tasty' and 'gourmand' describes it far better! Take my word for that, Ladies, it has nothing to do with 'oriental floral'! The most prominenet notes are sweet but not 'toothachey' licorice, gentle ivy, tasty vanilla and a hint of anise and tonka bean. Men I am working with are crazy about both Midnight and L de Lempicka and that itself should encourage you to give Lempicka's perfumes a try :-) The bottle is elegant and I personally consider it a work of art, the fragrance will, no doubt, tickle your buds, it will make you want to drink the bottle content at once! It is one of them you will not get bored with and it is definitely a universal fragrance. Great for a BBQ party with friends as well as a job interview. Shame it is only a limited version as it has better sillage and staying power than edp LL! Delicious, sexy, feminine, seductive, standing out in the crowd....that is what Midnight's like. My favourite :-)

This has to be the most unique scent in my collect and yet i'v been know to put that phrase into use a lot of times but this will make it up to it, The opening starts dry with anise then a few seconds later it turns super sweet and i think what's missing is Licorice jet black licorice and also you get this synthetic plastic residue almost similar to Pink Sugar without the nutty accords top drydown, what i forgot to mention when first applied to my skin i get a nice opening of irises but not powdery with a bit of a gloss due to the silage which is a bit oily but ok i prefer them dry jasmine dries the middle note with it's usual elusiveness but i love best is the basenotes it may not be on here but i can detect amber and musk i'm not a big vanilla fan but i like the drydown and also not listed Sandalwood dry fiery sandalwood that finishes the scent almost flawlessly if there has been no synthetic wrappings on the top notes this would be flawless.

This version is very similar to the original, I agree, but it has that certain 'something' that makes it stand apart. It has such a depth, the vanilla and tonka bean are very apparent (my favourite perfume notes!) and yet it isn't cloying like Angel can be. I am a huge fan of Wish by Chopard and this has hints of that-the creaminess and powdery quality, I would class it as an oriental vanilla and not an oriental floral. At first it can be a little too sweet, with the anise and licquorice hitting the nose first in a burst of gourmand sweetness-makes the mouth water! But it soon settles into an unforgettable and truly unique sent. There is something in it that I cannot put my finger on-as already mentioned maybe something a little synthetic, almost like play-dough....but it doesn't distract for me from the divine drydown that sticks to your skin for hours after it is first sprayed. A gem.

When I try different versions of my favourite perfume I'm always half excited, half worried. ''What if I like a rare version of that MORE?'' I really do like Eau de Minuit but thankfully not more than the original. It's actually the second ''Midnight Edition'' I have tested multiple times. The first one was Midnight Couture in the black bottle which is the sweetest of the three with focus on the licorice. Here the focus is on the spicy top notes; mostly anise and ivy in the second place. At this point smells very similar to the original without a hint of fruity notes. And no licorice, praline or any other candy. The drydown is woody and resinous. I think Eau de Minuit would be a good option for those who find the original too sweet and girly, this version could be unisex. Perfectly blended but not very complex with good sillage and longevity. Ah, and the bottle is positively gorgeous!

I received this today and couldn't wait to try it out-oh, it's so yummy,deep and sticky like a chocolate brownie you want to sink your teeth into! On first spray the musty sharp scent of the ivy leaves and the incense-like quality from the myrrh are prominent. It has the intensity of the 1997 Lolita Lempicka EDP but not the complexity as there are far fewer notes. The violet,iris and jasmine are all there,and this fragrance really has a balmy almost oily quality similar to LouLou EDP. The tonka bean and vanilla intensify giving it an almost chocolatey undertone. Totally delicious,deep,rich and interesting-and yes,the bottle is gorgeous! Long to very long lasting with a moderate to heavy sillage,I can only see myself wearing this as an evening fragrance in cooler weather.
