Midnight Sin

It is a Gourmand Floral, with a boozy Halo. Spraying this on paper won't give you the full experience you definitely have to wear this in order to understand the quality of this fragrance. I personally didn't have high hopes because Cherry is that note for me, that I can never wear as it's always medicinal. But this isn't the case here. This fragrance has no gaps and takes you on a journey. At first spray, which was the air, had everyone in the room saying D@mn, It's strong. Lol my nose immediately tried to find something to compare it to, I couldn't but it reminded me of something that I will get to later in this review. Once on skin. That Cherry and orange combination grabs you. The Cherry is Bold and The orange is not heavy at all but gives the Cherry a slight lift. Here's where it get interesting. The chocolate (dark) peeks very early which makes it warm and sensual, very intoxicating. Your slowly taken on a ride where the floral notes start to appear. the Floral is creamy , smooth, and not Sharp, It blends perfectly into the Gourmand. (Perfect because I'm not really a floral Girl) now as the middle starts to settle your presented with this Dark Chocolate that is sweetened by vanilla. The Patchouli is not a dark dirty Patchouli but adds a bit of earthy depth to it. Here is the interesting part, on the dry down, I can still smell this boozy, spicy ghost effect even though the top notes are suppose to be gone.. I keep hearing people say if your looking for a cherry fragrance, keep looking because Cherry left the building very fast. I'm going to disagree. The top never left. People are use to Cherry being this bright Red fruity note but what happens is, this Cherry blends into those base notes and Changes into this warm sexy skin scent. Cherry walks In loud, then took the spotlight off of herself but kept running the room. The warm, almond, edge.. is still her in the back calling shots. They did something that most perfumes don't do! Diffusive loop.This is where the curiosity sinks in, you keep sniffing, and that intoxicating feeling comes in. It becomes addictive because you keep sniffing trying to get closure but The journey keeps going. This is quality work!!! I sprayed this right before bed and woke up to I can still smell it. So longevity (for me it's there) but to each their own. We are all different. I also seen a comment saying if the fragrance doesn't have a longevity problem why are some popular creators consistently spraying it. Well most people want those top notes. the top notes are what grabs you and pulls you in. They want that initial experience and that feeling over and over. Now what does this smell like. It's unique, IT DOESN'T SMELL LIKE ANYTHING ELSE...but it does remind me of a few popular Fragrances not note for note but more so structure and what they do to the person wearing it. Black Opium, Good Girl, La Nuit Trésor And Lost Cherry. Warm floral Gourmands with addictive openings, smooth transitions and a sensual vibe..."keep smelling yourself effect". Again it doesn't smell like these at all. But these are well done Fragrances that have the same addictive Structure, that hooks you in immediately. This is a unisex fragrance. The Category: Date Night...Well done Daniel and Paris Corner. This is DEFINITELY NOT a Cherry Tootsie pop, y'all scared me with that one. My bottle did come dismembered the entire top half of the nozzle was floating but I was able to put it back together. It still puddles a bit when I spray it. But honestly I have other perfumes that do this and for me it isn't a big deal. I think the creator wanted to do something very Bold, daring, and different which is give us an Art piece. For that I truly can respect it. Doing something that has never been done before has it Challenges. People want to compare the damage to basic bottles that have been done over and over again by bigger companies. This is a first of its kind and the Creator has taken the appropriate steps to resolving the matter. I also want to point out the comments of character. Do you know that when some of the top brands are developing their fragrance, more than half of the people complaining are not even their target audience. You still support those brands and the characters associated with those companies. I personally don't know Daniel and my review is my opinion. If he missed the mark on this, I would say so. Let's try to uplift each other in this space. Give honest and true criticism. Happy Sniffing ❤️

I am going to let this macerate for a month, during the open all I get chocolate with a slight hint of cherry liquor. The cherry disappears quickly and i end up with a chocolate. I reformulate the perfume and this is where i think it failed. When adding a cherry liquor especially in a top note that disappears very quickly bc of the binder he used..you want this cherry liquor to drizzle down through the mid and into the base. Instead of orris, this where he could have and should have replaced it with a Madagascar Vanilla and Use heliotropin and cinnamon-based ingredients to create a heart that links the cherry to the base., why? Bc it binds the top notes and the mid notes to let it kind drizzly through, the tea note could have been replaced with Heliotropin, Benzaldehyde/Bitter Almond, Anisyl Acetone or Ethyl Cinnamate. These help hold and bind that cherry liquor so it don’t disappear, now his base needed a deep bridge so that chocolate wouldn’t take over the whole perfume, you must make have a strong base. To do he needed to Build a strong base with ingredients like vanilla, tonka bean, or Balsam of Peru to hold the scent on the skin.. The vanilla, chocolate and patchouli is all your gonna get if you don’t, he did put vanilla in there but can’t smell it, by adding 2 vanilla like vanilla absolute, and a bourbon vanilla to match that liquor..with a tonka bean, or balsam Of Peru would have really made this shine. I personally bc how it almost just a chocolate perfume would have used tonka and balsam....With the rest of the notes. The reason the cherry disappears is bc he didn’t use a good binders. You build your base first especially when you use cherry in the top notes, and cherry liqueur is a lot lighter in weight, even adding a dark cherry liqueur if you really want a chocolate cover cherry that’s not cloning, you take out that tea and place a binder bc tea really goes fast in top notes. Daniel know his stuff but I felt like he should have known and the perfumer to keep that cherry drizzling through top to bottom you needed a lot of good binders to could keep this drizzling down into a beauty base note. So it’s advertised as a chocolate covered cherry but the cherry is gone in a matter of mins so you just end up with a chocolate with hint of patchouli. I am going to let it macerate and then take half of this and make my own by using another half of different perfumes in my carrier 1.7 bottles I take to travel and mix it with different perfumes to pull the cherry out or get the vanilla and orange blossoms kicking maybe with a balsamic or Smokey note. But I do have to kill that chocolate out bc it dominates the whole perfume. Damn this could have really been nice he just don’t pick the right binders and it went straight into a chocolate perfume that overtakes everything. Now I think about that tonka and balsm and the vanillas and the top binder omg how did he miss this. I will still wear it but I will make it my own. But I could have done this with any chocolate. I was rooting for him bc he has talent, but his perfumer should have know better with these notes. I dnt blame him, he had a great idea, I believe the perfumers failed him.

Let me start off by saying I’m not a fan of Daniel Rene and the drama surrounding him but I can appreciate that he does create some good fragrances. I don’t value his opinion on fragrances. I just like what he creates. I bought this from the TikTok live on launch day just wanting to try it and honestly thinking that I would hate it since I don’t like chocolate heavy fragrances. I’ve smelled so many and they all come across with that fake chocolate Lip Smacker/Chapstick smell. I was expecting to return it honestly. I first sprayed it on paper and got chocolate very heavily with not much cherry. The cherry faded within seconds. Then it quickly turned into sweet white florals, which is when I really started to like it. So I sprayed it on skin and got the same thing as I did on paper. The dry down is very vanilla and patchouli heavy, but I like both of those notes so I didn’t mind it. If you don’t like patchouli, chances are you won’t like this fragrance because that dry down is what lasts longer than the other notes. It’s now roughly 4 hours later and I can still smell where I sprayed it on my skin (this is with me being inside all day besides going outside for maybe a total of 5 minutes). It seemed to somehow get stronger as time went on and now the sillage is dwindling down. I do enjoy this fragrance as it is not like any other fragrance I have. However, I do wish the cherry note stayed throughout the duration of the fragrance. Is it worth the price I paid ($90)? I’m not so sure. It might be worth it to his fans but not so much to me. Yes it is a very nice heavy bottle with great packaging but so are a lot of other Middle Eastern fragrances and they’re less than half the price. I’m also not a fan that they were saying during the live that they were selling out what they had on launch day and would restock in May for a higher price of $120 then I look online and GiftExpress is selling it right now for $99 on their website 🙄 It’s being marketed as completely unisex but I think I have to beg to differ. I believe it is on the feminine side of unisex, because it is very sweet. Basically, if you want to try it, just go ahead. Don’t fall for the trap to buy it during any certain point because it’s most likely a lie. It’s by no means a horrible fragrance. It’s well blended and smells nice. It might be worth the price to you, who knows? But I believe I’ll be keeping it just because I don’t have anything like it and it does have a moderate performance to where it doesn’t feel like a complete waste of money.

This is my first Fragrantica review. Considering it was a video of Daniel which got me collecting fragrances, I thought I'd start here. I am not a professional sniffer. I have nothing to gain by this. And, I believe that many of the negative reviews are being posted by people with some kind of axe to grind. When I got the bottle, yes, it had come apart in the package. within 20 seconds I had it fixed and spraying. NBD. I decided to try this as I would be home all day today, and at 8:30 gave myself a good spray down - skin and clothes. Chocolate? Yes! Cherries? Um, yes (if you can't smell cherry, get your nose checked). For an hour, it was intoxicating. For the first 2-3 hours I kept getting good hits of the scent as I went about my day of household chores. Now, at hour 6+, it's only present if I stick my nose to my skin or shirt. But then, today was hot and I tend to lose fragrance quickly on my skin anyway, so I consider this pretty darned good! On the skin I get lots of gardenia (yay!) On my shirt, I still get the chocolate-cherry notes. So, spray everything if you want the complete scent to overlap and develop together. Is the cherry medicinal? No. I wish medicinal cherry smelled like this. Maybe it's the boozy smell that's making some think it's medicinal. *shrug* The white flower (especially gardenia) and chocolate combo is delightfully surprising. I would never have chosen to pair those two things, but it WORKS. I will absolutely wear this to formal events where I want to make a scene. In fact, I'll likely bring the bottle with me and reapply just before going in to the venue to make the biggest impact. I'll also wear it at night when the scene becomes more adult. Gladly. If I change my mind, I'll edit this post, but I'm pretty sure it's an amazing scent. I absolutely do not regret the purchase. Thank you, Daniel!! Edit: still could smell it on my shirt the next morning. So, apparently it lasts!

Now remember this is for me this will not be the same for everyone Projection: 6-8 feet in the beginning 2-3 after a couple hours Silliage: light Longevity: 6-8 hours on skin 8-10 on clothes When to wear: when ever you want Price: for the creativeness the bottle, the boxes, and the juice it’s totally worth every penny Hi my name is Tony and I have followed Daniel René and his fragrances since I started my journey into the amazing world of fragrances. Every one of his creations are truly works of art and Midnight sin is no different it’s truly a work of art. I only need to try illusio now. for me I am not much a patchouli lover as others are and I don’t smell it at all. the chocolate and cherry liquor and tea notes completely cover it up. It’s like a chocolate covered cherry with a hint of tea and slight bit of florals on my skin. We will smell something different because of our own PH. it’s a beautiful well blended fragrance. I knew I would love this fragrance. I believe it’s a perfectly unisex fragrance and In my opinion it’s not so overpowering that you can’t wear it during the summer. I am super gourmand and love that style of fragrance so it doesn’t bother me to wear chocolate fragrances during the summer at all. i feel as if the projection is maybe 6-8 feet in the beginning and once it’s been a couple hours it’s more like a couple feet. And i would say light silliage. I truly love Daniel and all of his creations and no it’s not a glaze he is an amazing creative director to so many of the fragrances we all love you just don’t know that because he doesn’t go around bragging about it. I trust his opinion when it comes to any and all fragrances, he knows what he is talking about. I truly believe in my heart he created a sexy mysterious enticing fragrance. Keep doing what your doing Daniel. Your amazing and no one can take that away from you. Thanks for reading
