Bombshell Nights

Yet another example of a beautiful fragrance from VS that shouldn’t have just been limited edition! To me, Bombshell Nights is a cold, spicy scent that works great pretty much all year round. I can’t say I smell any particular note that’s been listed besides the woods—those I can definitely detect, but I also know that’s not all that’s there. There are woods, yes, but there’s also something juicy and sparkling (the fruit, perhaps?), and something else that feels fresh and a tad sharp (the floral note?). At any rate, despite this being appropriate (in my opinion) for year round wear, the image it brings to my mind are woods on a winter night—snowflakes cascading onto a frigid forest floor, stars twinkling in the dark sky above. Call that lame or whatever else you want, but that’s what this fragrance makes me think of! I also believe that’s why it works great all year round—refreshing enough for warmer days, but “festive” enough for colder days. Performance is moderate on me. I remember I was able to score this bottle for like $20 several years ago, so for that price, it was totally worth it. It’s just too bad VS constantly churns out SO MANY flankers, and then when they concoct something truly beautiful, it always seems to be limited edition or it’s discontinued quickly. When I’m finally out of this bottle, I’ll have to try some of the fragrances that have been voted as similar (or go on the hunt for something similar myself), because it doesn’t smell like anything else I own, it’s an easy reach, and everyone around me compliments me when I wear it.

This smells similar to the OG Bombshell but is stronger and longer lasting and a lot less juvenile. It's like OG Bombshell's big sister who is more sophisticated and very feminine. :-) The name is misleading to me, as this does not strike me as a nighttime fragrance at all, but more of a fresh daytime scent for the spring and summer. I don't picture myself going out on the town with this on, but to attend a daytime wedding or a posh brunch with some girlfriends. It's very Tiffany-esque to me which is a compliment because Tiffany & Co. makes beautiful fragrances. Maybe it's the black currant that's in the OG Tiffany and in the Rose Gold. When I think of Bombshell 'Nights', I think of a little bit darker, warmer, sultry scent which this is not. It's also not a casual fragrance, but you could get away with wearing this in professional settings everyday as long as you don't overspray. I'm still on the fence about whether I will keep this or return it because I'm not a big fan of the OG Bombshell, but this one has enough of a difference in the notes that I could justify keeping it, plus, I caught it on a good sale.

I picked this up a few nights ago and love it!!! This is a beautiful fruity floral perfume and IMO all the notes blend beautifully and this one is wearable year round. Longevity and silage are both moderate on me,I can easily get 6 hours out of this perfume without having to reapply wich honestly suprises me because this is a lighter scent. Another plus with this being a lighter scent is that all I need is two spritzes of this and I'm good to go and anything more then 2-3 spritzes of this on me would cause a headache and be too much. I usually gravitate towards gourmand scents so this is a nice change in my perfume line up and I loved this fruity floral more than I thought I would!

My favorite of the bombshell flankers...like the original with a little more fruitiness and woodiness. Despite the fact that it's been released in the past during the holidays, this is definitely a year-round scent, leaning more toward a late summer scent. I do like it a lot, and it's one I get a lot of compliments on.

My favorite of the Bombshells....for those that remember Estee Lauder Dazzling Gold, Bombshell Nights reminds of a squirt of Dazzling Gold added to a squirt of original Bombshell and Voila! This starts of really, really nice on my skin but becomes a bit bleh after an hour or so. I still really like it though.
