Midnight Datura

This one comes at you, full force, in the shape of a slightly sweet, creamy, powdery, fluffy pink cloud of heady, white flowers. It feels positively overpowering right away, but it actually softens to a sensual skin scent quite fast. Although Midnight Datura comes across as rather sweet and pink in the opening, it is a great mistake to perceive this as just an innocent or cute perfume. Underneath the fluffy floral powder puff there's a darker feeling, something slightly sinister and rather powerful. And that's what makes this scent so alluring and interesting. Midnight Datura is the scent of a Love Goddess that doesn't take no for an answer. Love conquers all, and you're next. There's no escape. She teases you, envelops you in this candy pink cloud, and makes you feel almost drunk with her heady, intoxicating presence. And when you feel like you just can't take anymore she curls up next to you like a soft and cuddly little kitten. Perfectly sweet and innocent. Seemingly. Yes, this fragrance has a strong and forceful opening, but it fades down to a semi sweet, creamy, powdery floral musk after about 15-20 minutes or so. The musk in here smells very arabian to my nose. It reminds me of a couple of arabian perfume oils I own: Abdul Karim al Faransi Tataouine (creamy sweet, floral white musk) and Surati Musk al Tahara (also a type of sweet and creamy white musk with floral nuances). This arabian feeling is an interesting twist in an already pretty intriguing scent, and the luscious, deep arabian aura gives this scent an even stronger undercurrent of sensual strength and alluring charm. It creates a 1001 Nights kind of ambience. Although the fragrance dries down to a skin scent I keep getting lovely whiffs of it in the air all day long. It feels like a skin scent when you smell it up close, but it still has a lot of power it seems. It's soft, but still has a strong presence. I like this one a lot. It's an original and really good take on the "girly pink" scent. Longevity is about 8-9 hours on my skin, and sillage is massive at first, but dries down to a pleasant skin scent.

At first spray, this feels ultra floral and feminine. White florals, sumptuous powderiness, something a bit narcotic, with a hint of boozy fruitiness. This feels both vintage (in an old Hollywood boudoir way, as opposed to a mature grandmotherly way) and modern at the same time. When I first sprayed this, I immediately thought of the character Jessica Rabbit. Despite all of the powdery softness, the combination of spices and rum swirling in the background provide a bit of darkness and mystery, which makes this fragrance quite addicting. As this dries down, it melts into a soft, powdery skin scent that smells like clean, warm skin fresh out of a bubble bath. The dry down actually reminds me a bit of The Now by Sarah Horowitz in that it feels softly musky in a clean skin type of way, as opposed to an animalic way. Overall this is one of my favorites from the line, as it just feels so so sensual to wear. I have sampled all of the fragrances from this line in the discovery set and my favorites are in the following order: Midnight Datura> Venetian Belladona (very close 2nd)> Poppy Soma> Hemlock> Digitalis> Wolfsbane> Mandrake> LOTV> Bloodflower (the only one in the collection that I did not enjoy)

This is a rich and voluptuous floral rounded out by identifiable notes of rum, clove, nutmeg, and patchouli. It's warm with good projection. As it sits on your skin, the amber and wood come forward, making it slightly more unisex. After about 5 hours, the dry-down is very powdery, but not in the baby powder/old lady sense. More like an Old Hollywood vanity with perfumes and expensive cosmetics sitting out. This tells a lovely story. It may be a little strong for close quarters, though.

A sweet floral sticky tuberose, almost jammy, not bubblegummy at all. Strong notes of violet but not gloomy, very uplifting and sensual. Definitely a boozy quality and nice sharp greenery to round it off. Gets a little creamy on the drydown, not as powdery to my nose which I like its definitely a more fresh juicy blooming floral. But with the davana and booziness it does give it that more evening, 'midnight' seductive quality

Roge' nailed it... May be for a woman but man I would wear this. This is a lot of sweet floral everything mixed into one, rolled into a ball of sexy seduction... Good lord I wouldn't even know where to begin... Whatever Davana is/smells like... I God Davana love it!! Ladies please, do your man a solid, bathe in this!!
