Midnight Sparkle

Amy1983 is right, not one whiff of this conjurers up midnight or sparkles. However, while she obviously disliked the fragrance, I must say I love it. Rue21's frags go for $9.99, and anybody who has been to one of the stores knows that their target audience is tweens to teens who are either trying too hard to be cool or are really strapped for cash (or both!). So of course their fragrances are not going to be sophisticated because their demographic is not sophisticated. HOWEVER, this poorly-named EDT stands out among their suspiciously similar-smelling fragrance collection. Unlike the others it is creamy, warm(ish), sweet, and yes, orange-y. It is a grown-up orange creamsickle. It is a delightful flowing scarf perfect for those March days where it's winter in the shade and spring in the sun. It is an in-between fragrance too mature for teens but too young for adults. It's never loud. Upon first spray it emits some sort of low-key mandarin. As if the energizing orange went on a backpacking trip to Europe and came back wiser and calmer, but even more fun to be around. While she was on this trip she hooked up with a light cream and made friends with powdered sugar and a very delicate white flower (I almost want to say heather) and the group occasionally hung out with almonds and a really, really chill banana. On the drydown the almond and banana come out a little more but are still mostly covered by cream, sugar, and that awesome orange. Silage is close, but wafts in that fun way where you occasionally get sniffs of something that smells really good and then you realize it's you and that's awesome. Longevity is surprisingly good for a cheap scent on my black-hole skin. After three hours I have to lift my wrist to my nose to smell, but then again I only used one spray. All in all, a great buy for a great price. Not so great now that summer's coming up, but I definitely look froward to using this for the remainder of spring and when fall rolls around.

Randomly thought about this perfume today as it was the only one I ever bought from Rue 21 when I was in middle school and I wore it religiously! This is what the mall during the holidays smells like for me but in the most amazing nostalgic way. Maybe eventually I'll cough up 100$ for it but after stocking up while it was 10$ a bottle brand new its hard to convince myself. :')

This does smell pretty strongly of orange, which I always do associate with Christmas somehow. I see why they chose that for this limited edition. I wish they'd paired it with some spices though instead of the sweet, sweet fruits. It needs a little depth. It also does not seem to have much lasting power. I may still buy a bottle but I wasn't overly impressed.

The notes aren’t listed here. But I would say it is probably a combination of: Orange Vanilla Something spicy like clove or cinnamon And creamy notes. Perhaps a touch of caramel It smells very Christmas/wintery to me. Like, a snow princess on ice skates, with a fur bolero surrounded by fairies. This scent is entirely delicious. Totally a sweet, gourmand, fragrance that is lamentably no longer available.

I got this last Christmas when I origionally stopped in to Rue 21 to repurchase the "Twenty One Black", which is my favorite fragrace by them, but then I saw this limited edition gem on display. It really does smell like an orange creamsickle. All I smell is creamy orange and vanillia, but theres nothing wrong with that! It smells very nice. A good scent for winter in the daytime.

This smells like an orange creamsicle with Froot Loops thrown on top. There is nothing Midnight or sparkly about this.

I sprayed it on before bed. So I'm laying here in a dusty mist of orange cream white muskiness (Not male musk) soft as a pillow Its almost Like smelling the very end when you ate all the creamcsicle & are left with the stick then you smell the stick. & you get that dry stick smell & sweet sticky air blows warm air your way & you smell the melted ice cream cold popsicle smell still. It should look like a somewhat melted creamscile with the stick as the spray top. Then it would be true to its name. I have no idea why its called midnight sparkle I keep thinking its gonna smell more amber frankinscence Tonka but w sharp dry purfumy euphoria smell (but I'm glad it doesnt) because of the gold & black design. But its a supposed to be a new years collection from what the sales girl said. So that explains the packaging colors. It was only 10$ so I got it. Ill get more for sure before discontinued ones get too high) I've been wearing it for the last 2 yrs. Almost everyday (& I have over 100 purfumes & this is one of the best ones. you dont have alot of orange creamscicles in production. no wonder they are selling for 100xs more than i got mine for

I got my bottle for $10- at rue 21. I should have bought them out but I just started getting back into purfumes. This is one of my favorite purfumes & I have over 500 including Indie styles. It smells exactly like orange sherbert Creamsicle. No purfume smell. Not a bath n body works tyle of spray either. It's less wet. More of a white. Use lasting scent of soft orange dessert, seriously like when you get ice cream on your skin & it dries all sticky & you s.ell your skin.. thats this. Its beautiful. & I have 4.4 of my original bottle left. But I have no clue what that amounts too cause their is a solid gold color preventing me from seeing the Inside. & who knows how much the bottle weighs when empty. I just bought another one on ebay for $38 & that one weighs 4.5oz. They claimed it was 80% full...either they have no clue or I dont use alot of purfume in a 13yr period. But at least I have double what I did have at this point h the other one for sale is 57# & 100- nah. Hopefully it'll last me another 13yrs

I always considered this to be a lemon vanilla fragrance, but after reading the reviews I now know it is an orange vanilla. It's funny how the nose plays tricks on you, as the sales girls said it was a lemon cookie perfume, so I believed the citrus to be just that. Either way you smell it, this is one of my faves from the brand. Long lasting and delicious on. Here is a copy of the brand's description from their website: "When night falls, wrap yourself in candied orange, white rose, vanilla meringue & creamy musk. It's sparkling, sexy & completely unforgettable."

To me this perfume smells like a crushed up orange Shock tarts mixed with a few crushed up Smarties and add a dash of vanilla. I know an orange Shock tart never existed, but I can smell what they would have tasted like with this perfume and it's AMAZING. I should have bought more than 10 of them because I'm down to my last 3 bottles and I feel like I'm going to cry when it's all gone.

Absolutely delicious. It smells like yummy orange popsicles and vanilla. Great combo

Try mixing Midnight Sparkle with Pink Ice.
