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.

I went to Sephora to test this fragrance and Flowerbomb Nectar. I heard so many good things about Nectar but not equal enthusiasm for Midnight so I was definitely excited to try the Nectar. To my surprise Midnight was the best perfume I smelled out of the 20+ I sampled while I was there, including Nectar. This is a really beautiful scent. Fruity too notes that dry down to a sweet floral musk. Not loud but intimate and romantic. Definitely going to buy this one.

The frutier, more fun sister. It starts with a delicious, jammy burst of black currant and pomegranate that slightly resembles Mon Paris, then it turns into a softer, muskier version of the OG flowerbomb and you start to see the faint family resemblance. I love both the OG Flowerbomb & the OG Mon Paris, so I definitely love this as well. Although I have to admit if both sisters were involved in some kind of face-off battle, I think the OG would win.

One of my FAVS. Oneidawelty said it perfectly below! This is flowerbomb family vibes but in a more mature darker way. This is not cloying syrupy sweet like the OG or Nectar, it is more fruity & darkly delish! I love this blend of black currant, Jasmine & the musk. I Just want to dress up in dark colors and drink red wine @ a fancy establishment. 🖤♥️🖤♥️🖤 PS: I also highly suggest Ruby Orchid and Dew from this line!

This is such a wonderful fall and winter fragrance, although I ended up wearing it year-round. It starts off sweet, like Flowerbomb and all its' flankers, but it ends up as a wonderful floral musky fragrance after a few hours. It is the night time, grown up sister to Flowerbomb and it's wonderful. This, like all the Flowerbombs, lasts a very long time on my skin and has an enormous sillage.

I agree with most reviewers that the longevity and the scent bubble on this one are poor. It is however a beautiful soft fruity fragrance, lightly floral and sits closer to the skin. Not all people are after beast mode fragrances and FBM is definitely for those people. Personally I would have preferred a stronger projection for sure. Not sure if I'd buy it again once I run out.

Flowerbomb Midnight is a bit misleading because of the packaging. Maybe you think it's thick and mysterious BUT no, no... that's not what's going on here. This one is sweet and powdery, just a very soft beautiful scent. Such a gem 😍 It's soft and sits very close to the skin which is the best fragrance to wear to bed (in my opnion).... so cozy, soft-sexie and beautiful. WOW!!

Wow! Delicious black currant and pomegranate kick this off in a fantastic berry scent (not plasticky) that mellows to a gorgeous peony scent with jasmine. The drydown is more musky than vanilla to me, but I like it. This perfume fits me much better than flowerbomb did, and it has the same sillage and long lasting scent. Definitely a win for me!

Absolutely gorgeous scent that feels the least alike to the original Flowerbomb. No wonder, when the signature rose was replaced by a gentle peony. I smell some mint and white florals, but also the blackcurrant is definitely present. It's taunting and romantic at the same time, perfect for long summer nights that last forever.

Very nice perfume. For me it's not a typical evening perfume, it works equally well during the day. I think it smells better and mor unique than the original Flowerbomb. I think it smells a little grapefruit. A mell that I usually don't appreciate but in this composition it just feels fresh and exciting.

I've worn Flowerbomb for years and felt like a change,but over the years, nothing has come close to my fondness for the original FB. Flowerbomb Midnight is perfect. It's a very simlar, but more mature version of Flowerbomb; not quite as floral/ sweet.

It’s the perfect fruitchouli to my nose, except there is no patchouli in the notes?! Anyways it’s a love at first sniff for me and of all hundred of perfumes I have I can’t stop reaching for this. Dominique Ropion never disappoint me!

One of my favorite scents on my wife. The black currant and pomegranate fruity floral musk is very sexy and draws you in. Doesn’t last very long on the skin (1 hour?), you will need to spray on clothes for decent longevity.

The best parfum of all time the best creation from viktor & rolf ,the scent its gorgeous beautiful light but strong staying power long lasting and very sexy .10/10.....ps I finally find my signature scent...proud

I don't wear it at midnight, I rock it to work 😎 It gives me a nice power boost. Initially, I thought it'd be a heavy night time fragrance (judging from the bottle), but it's not. I find it perfect for fall.

Dark vanilla + Musky + Wood +Warm Sugar+ Peony + Coffee Reminds me of the Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium and Lady Gaga's Eau de Parfum (Fame) Smells Amazing but has a weird alchol-like scent at first 9/10

This is one of my favorites!! <3 It's the older more mature sister of Flowerbomb for me. It's delicate but strong at the same time, ultimately sexy. It's definitely a scent for the night time!

I never liked the original Flowerbomb, but I love this one. This is a dark fruity floral that last several hours on me, but doesn't give me a headache(like the original). Very underrated imo.

I hate the Og Flowerbomb and the nectar and the dew versions! This I love! I don’t get any of the FB dna thank goodness. This is so juicy and fruity and sexy, I’m obsessed!

I looooved it and cant describe what the smell is ,, reminds me a bit of Narciso the black bottle musky fresh deep ,, so my style just wish it dose project more

Spicy, fruity, pretty absolutely gorgeous scent. There’s really nothing like it. It’s unique even with its Flowerbomb dna.

next on my buying list really good flanker the best in my opinion🥰

On first spray, my fiance likes it! Very fruity and cute; reminds me of something I've tried before by Ed Hardy... Hearts & Daggers, maybe? After 5 minutes: Heavier scent of musk and wood starts to make this feel more "adult". After 10 minutes: Vanilla has started to come out a bit now, with the wood and musk underneath and the smallest bit of fruit. After 15 minutes: All the scents have come together now, and it's almost like a light, sweet incense, with just a hint of fruit. Lovely! After an hour: Very subtle; mostly musk, and a slight sweetness. I can definitely see me wearing this out on a date night when I want to seem sweet but mature. Definitely for intimate occasions, where you'll be in close proximity to a small amount of people--this wouldn't get very far in a club or huge party, as it stays very close to the skin and doesn't really last for more than a few hours, but it's classier than your typical celebrity perfume. As compared to the original Flowerbomb, this isn't as overly sweet due to the lack of patchouli. It's a more mature version, with a hint of sweetness. The woody musk scent really rounds this out beautifully and elevates the fruitiness so that it's feminine without being too "girly". Overall, I love it!

A beautiful, sexy, deep, warm, sensual, seductive, dark fruity floral fragrance. Midnight still has the basic Flowerbomb dna, but it’s also beautifully different and unique. I think that Midnight is the sexiest of all of the Flowerbomb fragrances. The pomegranate and black currant add a dark and juicy sweetness, while the night blooming jasmine and peony add a seductive and romantic floral scent, and then the musk and vanilla add the perfect warm and sensual touch. I get excellent performance with Flowerbomb Midnight. The longevity is fantastic, it lasts the entire day, and I can even smell it on me the next morning. The projection is great too, it radiates out a few feet from me. For reference, here’s my basic thoughts on the different fragrances in the Flowerbomb line: Flowerbomb - romantic, classic, & floral - spring Ruby Orchid - sweet & sexy gourmand fruity floral - spring Nectar - sweet, flirty, & happy candy like floral - anytime Tiger Lily - bright, happy, & juicy tropical fruity floral - spring & summer Midnight - seductive & sensual floral - spring, fall, & winter

Despite appearing as if this would be darker and heavier, I actually find it to be less intensive than the original. I greatly enjoy dark berry fragrances and felt the urge to sample something new. This has been on my radar because of the blackcurrant, and I'm pleased to say that that note is the most obvious beside the vanilla. The pomegranate isn't really showing up, but it has a cleanness to it as well like crisp fruits (then again, I seem to be fortunate in that I never smell "cat pee" from blackcurrant). It never really differs or takes you on an olfactory ride, but it's consistently linear the entire time, sweetly musky and vanillic. The performance is average, and lasts around 6 hours. It's somehow not as cheap smelling as the original FB and I really enjoy the floral heart it has as well, even if I cannot tell overtly that it's jasmine. This won't push the senses or create any epiphanies...but sometimes I don't really want a stirring experience anyway, I just want something good with a note that I love. Overall, this is a solid like and a 7/10.

I got a generous 7 mL sample of this as a free gift from Sephora, and I vastly prefer this over the original Flowerbomb, anyday. At opening, I got pomegranate, peony and a tiny bit of musk. As it dried down, the pomegranate took a backseat to the black currant. IIRC, black currant is the predominant note in Si Passione, and I'm getting similar vibes from that. I'm a little shocked that it's not in the "reminds me of" section, but everyone has different noses, I suppose. I went ahead and grabbed my travel spray of Si Passione to make sure I wasn't (completely) losing my marbles, and their black currant notes sure strike me as similar. Of the two, I'd call Passione the lighter day time scent (of the two), and FB Midnight the after work / date night scent, and the two wouldn't clash. After a good 30+ minutes, FB Midnight then turns in a big ole' sexy musk on me, and I couldn't be more pleased. YAAAAAAS. I thought a few of ya'll had lost your damn minds comparing this to NR For Her EDT, but if you're not a major musk fan, I can see where you thought that.

This is gorgeous! I would have almost rated this a love had it not been for the fact that it sits closer to the skin than I would prefer. If this projected a little more it would be chefs kiss! I don’t detect patchouli in this as others had said. That is the way the musk is done and exactly the way I love my musks! I pick up aspects of the OG, but it gets deeper and sexier while still remaining feminine. If I overspray, I can get the effect I love, but I hate to use so much of it. I also wish they kept the shape of the original bottle and not elongated it and just made it black, but that’s just a side note. I really concern myself more with the juice. The black currant and pomegranate are gorgeous together. I would have suspected a rose note or something in here. The peony and night blooming jasmine are stunning but it seems like there may be another floral note too. I would wear this in the fall and winter anytime, and evenings in spring and summer. It’s a very versatile fragrance and really really beautiful!

This smells like the OG Flowerbomb and the OG YSL Mon Paris went to a party together, got intoxicated by each other, and boom, Flowerbomb Midnight was born nine months later LOL. The one issue I have with this scent, which I do like much more than the original Flowerbomb, is the black currant note. I don't like black currant at all (almost always smells like cat pee to my nose) and I really wish blackberry had been used instead. :( I will say that when I initially tested it, I was sorely disappointed in it (or the black currant rather), but now some months later, I've gone back to test the sample and it smells much better to me. It is incredibly strong at first spray, nearly made me cough, but it settles into a pleasant fruity-floral quickly. I think if someone likes the typical Mon Paris/LVEB/Flowerbomb fruitchulis they should like this, too, since it clearly belongs in that family, even though there is apparently no patchouli here (I swear I smell it but it's not horrible, which is surprising lol).

after finishing two bottles of the original flowerbomb, I felt like changing things up a bit and turned to this one. midnight is definitely a good name for this particular flanker — it smells like flowerbomb’s slightly older, more mature sister who sneaks out at night to frolick in the dark as the original flowerbomb watches from the window, longing to come with. the essence of flowerbomb is still there (which was surprising to me considering the difference in notes) but midnight is slightly darker, sexier, more dangerous. this is definitely more of an evening perfume, perfect for a night out when you feel a bit mischiveous! just as with the original, the scent itself is not particularly unique, but personally I don’t mind that with this one because sometimes you just want something that’s easy on the nose and generally well-liked. so if you’re a fan of flowerbomb but you want to try something that feels just a bit different, I highly suggest this!

I bought Flowerbomb Midnight when it was super marked down in the wintertime and back then, it gave me that unfortunate black currant “cat piss” smell. For reference, it was about 20°F outside with frequent snow at the time. BUT, I hung onto the bottle and tried it on again in summer, and now it really shines! The black currant and musk stand out here, it’s not super floral or sweet but instead a little tangy. I’ve been wearing it daily on all of my pulse points plus a spritz for my clothes and it is super light. I wish it was a bit stronger, if it was I would consider rebuying when I run out. It does smell like Mon Paris, but I can’t stand the noticeable ambroxan on myself so this is a better deal for me. As others have said, this bears little resemblance to Flowerbomb original, which I am not a fan of.

A few years ago "flowerbombs" were all the rage in urban gardening. Stick some seeds together with fertilized soil, huck it into an untended dirt strip in a parking lot or along the highway and let the flowers do their thing. This scent calls back to that legacy more than original flowerbomb did. It's a grab bag of florals and some quickly overwhelmed greens with a bit of heaviness to get the midnight note in there. I tested on skin with a sample size from Sephora. Multiple sprays were required to get much of an effect. The green note is prominent but fades quickly to a floral/musk/powder blend (in that order). I supposed it's the black currant that gives it the hint of darkness, but the scent calls to mind the black more than the currant.

I got a 10 ml since I was curious about it, but can't say it's a surprising DNA. It has a very juicy opening from the pomegranate and black currant. The peony, jasmin and musk form a patchouli-like slight sharpness. You can hardly feel the vanilla, though. I'm not sure I'd buy a full bottle if I had the chance, but the scent is not bad at all. I believe it goes close to Lalique's Amethyst due to the strong berry juicy notes, but Amethyst proves better at performance and overall evolution, without any sharpness, albeit a bit less sweet than FB Midnight. Bottom line conclusion: nice release, but a bit too expensive for what it is, there's nothing surprising, rather crowd pleasing with ok performance. Nobody's tragedy if this disappears.

Ok this perfume smells like ysl “Mon Paris” mixed with narciso Rodriguez “for her” At first I get a lot of the spicy ness from the “ for her” then it dries down and resembles “ Mon Paris “ which used to be one of my faves but I think I have grown out of it . I will wear this but it’s not my fave . Smells so similar to the others and is nothing like the original. It’s a nice scent though . Ok edit years later ..... sometimes I reread my reviews and I’m so confused by what I’ve written because my opinion has changed so much . This smells like every other pepper rose spicy scent, the nr fluer music , sexy ruby, very irresistible, sweet diamond pink pepper and countless countless others , I’m actually quite sick of this scent

The pomegranate and black currant in the opening is fruity sweet, but with an almost patchouli feel to it. Patchouli is not a listed note, but I imagine a hint of it in the opening. It stays fruity sweet for a long time. This is almost too fruity sweet for me, which I never thought was possible. Ha. Makes me crave that night blooming jasmine note, to lift the heavy sweetness, but when the jasmine finally comes, it is very light. The black bottle is appropriate for this fragrance. This smells evening, or cold winter day. Beautiful scent aura. Great projection, good for lasting. Would be nice for layering, to add a berry fruity scent to other fragrances. A safe blind buy for fruity fragrance lovers, or pomegranate lovers.

This is a special fragrance for me, since it was the first ever perfume I redeemed from one of those Sephora perfume samplers. I still have the travel spray from... 2019? 2020? I only pull this out for very special occasions. It's sweet like other Flowerbomb scents, but the slight spiciness in the opening gives it an elegant flair that sets it apart from other florals. Not sure what note that is. It fades after a couple of hours and I wish it had better lasting power. This and Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid are my favorites from this line of scents. Since it seems like this is discontinued, I guess I will continue rationing what I have left in my spray :')

bought this today. haven’t worn it yet but have been sniffing the card i sprayed it on all day due to the fact from the very first smell it reminded me of a fragrance, or two. i just realised it reminded me of yves saint laurent mon paris, was so happy i finally realised what it was! but then my mind focused on the peony and suddenly i couldn’t help but think of jo malone peony & blush suede?! a lovely mix of the two with notes of flowerbomb that makes you remember you’re smelling a viktor & rolf fragrance. overall to me this is a floral, musky dream. for fans of YSL mon paris and jo malone peony & blush suede - i highly recommend this! 🥰

Opens with cassis mixed with sweet, tangy pomegranite. There's some background supporting florals. Slightly sweet, a bit green and fresh. A pleasant fruity floral that isn't offensive or cloying. I could see this being an office scent. To my nose it's much more fruity, with the florals playing a supporting role. I'd call this one a cassisbomb (or cassis and pomegranite bomb) rather than a flowerbomb. Doesn't jump off the test strip at me, i really have to jam it up my nose to get a good whiff. I hope that doesn't mean the performance will be subpar on this one. I'll need to do a full wearing to see.

This is heavier and a little less sweet than the original.More floral. I can see why some might not like this, but I think it smells pretty. As someone below mentioned that she only pulls it out for special occasions, I can understand why. It's not an easy breezy everyday scent. It's darker and (IMO) more sensual than some of the others in this line. Spray lightly and this can be a very pleasant scent experience. There is no pepper note listed, but I wonder if the "spicy" note that others are smelling might be some kind of pepper. I feel like I get a very faint hint as I keep smelling this.

I’m downgrading this one to a like. On me it starts very juicy with an herbal note that’s a bit scratchy. I think it’s how my nose is reading the peony on my skin. I know I’m not supposed to smell it until the heart. I’ve found that’s when a note doesn’t sit well with me I can usually detect it prominently at all levels. I like the peony in Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet but this one registers very dry. The herbal impression plus the heady sweetness is off putting to me, a tad stomach churning at times. Going to have to pass this one along.

It smells very similar Mon Paris by YSL, it had the same strong rotting-sweet red berry smell, which I learned to appreciate. The patchouli is too present after an hour, which I really don't like. The silage is close to skin and I'm not sure if it will last long. It does not smell like a flanker of the original Flowerbomb, I love FB!The price is a bit high IMO, but Flowerbomb is wicked expensive. Mon Paris also cost a lot more, so Midnight might be worth buying as an alternative. I think it would be good for nighttime all year round.

My most favorite flowerbomb out of original, dew, nectar and bloom. I love the black currant and pomegranate! It’s so juicy when you first spray it on! Once it dries down the florals come in more , but just slightly to give it a nice bouquet. It’s the most refreshing in my opinion. It’s so well rounded , that I can imagine wearing this any time of day or year. I’m not a big floral person , so maybe that’s why I like this one the most ! The opening is amazing truly , but the dry down is not very impressive

This smells a lot like YSL Mon Paris. The same dark berry/red fruits w/ florals and vanilla. Really basic, good lasting power though. I'd say this is a better pick for evenings out; Mon Paris smells more fruity-floral while this leans into the musky-vanilla. It's nothing special but if you like YSL Mon Paris, Lancome Tresor, and perfumes of that type (berry/fruit, floral heart and vanilla base) this is the front runner of that group. I really like it and would consider a small bottle for evenings out.

This is a very confusing perfume 🙄 It is a nice fruity/floral scent, nothing ground breaking,and the confusing part; it is quite a bright scent nothing nocturnal or midnight-ish about it as the name and the bottle suggest...you get a very fruity opening and then a nice vanilla/floral dry down. The longevity is short lived, maybe 4 hours max with almost no sillage, very skin like scent I think V&R could have done better with this one and for sure this will not be a stable in my collection

Not a fan of the original Flowerbomb due to a dislike of patchouli. Received this as a gift - still a lot of floral, with some darkness throughout. To me, not as "fruity" on myself as others seem to find it, and struggle to pinpoint pomegranate or blackcurrant. Definitely pungent florals on the initial spray that mellows into a musky, pleasantly sweet background fragrance. Not as enormous a sillage as I would like, but receives complements when worn nonetheless.

Upon first spray, I was overwhelmed with musk, but it quickly settled into the dark juicy fruits that attracted me to this. When the musk came back out to play, it was rounded off smoothly with the creamy, indulgent vanilla. This isn’t the most complex scent or anything, but it’s so comforting while simultaneously being sexy. I can’t justify the price tag though, it’s a like, not a love, so I don’t think I’ll be purchasing a full bottle of this.

I think Midnight is the perfect name for this fragrance. It smells nothing like the original FB, let's just get that out of the way first lol. It's a very musky, dark floral. It smells like so many other fragrances on the market. A sultry sexy perfume that's great for night time. Hints of berries with strong musk and peonies. Nice but not unique. It's very forgettable in my opinion. I had to keep smelling my wrist to remember the scent.
