Flowerbomb Midnight

BOLDLY SWEET Black Currant & WHIPPED Musk. Opens with a fruity burst of blackcurrant & sugar crystals with touches of pomegranate, that deepens into a velvety fluffy floral heart of night blooming jasmine & peony, all resting on a vanilla-white musk base that's so pillowy you could swear that it's whipped.. There is a pleasant 'armpit' note, as well as a slight 'perfume-y' quality that reads as chypre in the heart with reminders of Armani Si. Has a dressed up vibe. Well above average performance. Contrast to Si Armani: These are different, but this is the most similar to Flowerbomb Midnight V&R that I've smelt, specially the openings. FM dries down incorporating the Flowerbomb DNA, but with the fluffy whipped found in Si. FN is more white musk forward. Contrast to Flowerbomb Viktor&Rolf: These are different, but the longer they dry down, they become more similar with white musk. Flowerbomb leans closer to a white musk version of La Vie Est Belle, while Flowerbomb Midnight leans closer to a white musk version of Armani Si. Both have well above average performance. Contrast to Dazzle Al Haramain: These are different but have a similar vibe with a floral heart on a fluffy almost-chypre/chypre. FM is a little sharper in the top notes while the whipped quality is more forward in Dazzle Al Haramain. Both have above average performance. Overall: powerhouse performance and a beautiful scent profile, this is the perfect scent to wear to feel dressed up. This may be my favourite of the range - it's a love for me. Enjoy!

I decided to take a chance on a blind buy at a discount because I'm a V&R stan. I'm not disappointed in this flanker one bit. Black current is strong but really beautiful and not cloying. I think it remains true as a flanker and I can definitely get the original dna. It's so sweet and delightfully deep. In the last several months it's been my go to. I can't get enough of this complex berry. I believe this can be used around the year as it's so bright while still remaining a deep scent. Really falling in love with this one and I'm so pleased. If you love the flowerbomb series this definitely should be added to the collection! Steep price point, as it is with all the V&R scents. It’s for a good reason- they’re great and last a good long time. You can get them on sale though, so keep your eyes out. Totally worth every scent. For me I can pretty much blind buy any V&R scent- so keep that in mind if it isn't your house.

Mmmm.... I'm sooo happy! I just knew I'd love it, given those notes: vanilla, musk, blackcurrant... And an intriguingly-named nightblooming jasmine. However, after trying revolting Prada Candy with its seemingly perfect scent profile, I was worried it would be another dud :( No! She's a beauty. My favourite flavour is blackcurrant. I had blackcurrant gummy worms for breakfast yesterday lol (shh!) It's a beautiful blend of blackcurrant jellybabies, a soft musk, sweet vanilla and green notes. Not sure what the 'green notes' are, it just smells fresh. POV: you're eating a blackcurrant and vanilla pie while wearing your favourite musk perfume in a moonlit fur forest at midnight :)

Beautifully diverse flanker to an amazing series of perfumes. This one has a great callback to the original- while still maintaining its own identity. It's bright while still maintaining depth. I like the complexity! Anyone that says this smells old lady must be a tween- sense of smell develops as does taste. It's a sophisticated floral with an amazing dry down. Light while still maintaining staying power. Not headache inducing like others in this category of scents. I think it's a safe blind buy- if you like the flowerbomb series- or the notes in general. Definitely keeping this in rotation- and I find that I can wear it most times and seasons.

'Midnight' is very delicate. It is a breath. Nothing nocturnal characterizes it to my senses, otherwise, bottle and name let me imagine it. On the skin it is docile, in a few minutes it settles calm and suffused, then slowly begins to radiate. The opening made me think of Chloé, only for a few moments I thought it was there, or that I had smell it before. Then it took a path of sweetness of its own, a newly opened box of comfit, sweets and candies opens in my hands. Then it changes again. I hardly remember Flowerbomb, I can guess that 'Midnight' is a little less sweet, with a hint of peony that makes it a bit soapy and flirty. Suave.
