Midnight Mischief

My second try from the latest quartet of releases from Vivamor Parfums is Midnight Mischief, designed as a seductive multifaceted date night-type scent, it has a unisex flair with a varied note list of orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood, rose, and amber, mostly—fresh, sweet, floral, woody, a little creamy. The sweet pairing of orange blossom and vanilla stands out to me here, as it often does, due its connection to beloved orange creamsicle ice treats, but this mix is rendered more sophisticated and less gourmand-focused with the addition of rose, sandalwood, and amber. It largely achieves its submission—it’s a not-overly-heavy, semi-nighttime fragrance that is still pretty versatile in terms of season, occasion, and wearer. It’s probably not something I would deliberately wear to the gym or the beach but its fresh-but-dense utility is high quite, and I quite love it, as it’s something I could personally wear a lot of the time and wouldn’t be opposed to overspraying it. Comparison-wise, it reminds me a little of Profumum Roma Dulcis in Fundo and Meringa in terms of the orange blossom + vanilla pairing, but the rose in particular moves it in different direction. Priced (like the rest of the recent releases) at $125 for 100ml in extrait concentration, and it performs well, so a very good deal in the current market and yet another winner from this house that continues to impress since its initial releases in late 2022. Currently it’s only sold at the house website but I expect other points of sale (boutiques like Perfumology) will carry it soon enough. There’s also a discovery set that includes the most recent 4 releases. 8 out of 10

This is so good!!! Especially that drydown, got my eyes rolling to the back 😮💨😮💨🤤🤤. Obsessed..! Opens up fresh like orange tea sweetened by a heavy dose of honey and rose petals, but that dry down tho ouuuuuh SEXY! Edit: Super sexy & feminine, The perfect honey & rose combo for me and im obsessed! Truly, after Tom Ford Vanille Fatale (2017), this is an absolute love!

Okay! So my review isn’t going to be totally accurate because I just sprayed it on me for the first time. Opening: Sharp initially with first sniff. Citrus and a oudy rose. Dry down: week old, cut rose buds with dried crispy edges on top of a charred log still warm to the touch. I know that smoke isn’t listed in the notes but something in this is giving charred vibes. I think this is 100% split on unisex. But the woman needs to want to feel strong and sexy! I’m an over sprayer and I accidentally did 3 chest sprays because I was trying to take myself out ☠️ This is a shoulder, shoulder, stomach! Not 3 to the chest!! It reminds me of Atelier Des Ors Rose Omyyade And Lancome L’Autre Oud. They are all 3 about 90% similar to each other. 8/10 only because the smokiness is giving cigarette ash as well

This to me is a slightly more masculine leaning Jardins de Misfah. Maybe its the type of rose used or something but to me its really got a similar vibe without the sweetness of the dates. Its got that same slightly musty quality. A Summer evening fragrance, natural smelling, conjuring up dark green hedged gardens and Mediterranean terraces, a Moroccan Spa, walking under starry indigo skies on sultry nights. Super long lasting. I won't be purchasing this as I prefer Jardins de Misfah - if you have that I don't think you need this one.

This does NOT smell the way you'd expect it to. It's VERY masculine leaning
