Midnight Shimmer by Michael Kors Eau de Parfum Spray 50ml

Product Information

Sillage is definitely on the soft side, I think people would only be able to smell you when they are very close or give you a hug. Initially it smells almost masculine with a deep musky woodsy aroma (could be a unisex perfume, actually), later it develops a sweet boozy vanilla quality that is almost addictive. Bear in mind I like Strong scents, and this one is definitely very strong, so take it easy when you start spraying and see what you're comfortable with.

The fragrance belongs to the same collection as the editions Sporty Citrus, Sexy Amber and Glam Jasmine from 2013, Sexy Rio de Janeiro from 2014 and Sexy Sunset from 2015.The closest to it from my collection is Kayali Vanilla28, but I don't think I could choose between the two, and luckily I don't have to. Longevity is not good as much as i expected but it s okay, sillage is okay too, it doesnt come across as a skin perfume on me. I eventually was able to smell dsv so hoping that is the case with this- what I’m able to smell is a grown up vanilla.

I was initially expect a smokier dark vanilla based on reviews and notes but that is not at all what I got. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It s my to-go perfume espcially during winter; just a spray of it onto a fuzzy sweater and la la; i just enjoy this creamy, elegant vanilla all day. I almost bought this today, but I gave it a little time on my skin and I realized I would never reach for this while I have Black Opium in my wardrobe.

It is very warm and tonka bean vanilla based which is one of my favorites in fragrances I love TONKA BEAN. It is sweet warm and inviting however the musk and wood definitely shines through which sets it apart from other sweet vanilla fragrances. EDIT: Okay, I do notice a tinge of plasticky sharpness in the top notes, but that disappears within 10 minutes or so, and afterward the scent is very smooth! I became curious with this scent when I saw a review by Ami of Fragrance with Ami, a fellow Aussie, who just loved this one. Not the biggest fan of cheesy Victoria's Seret-style bottle and name, but you can't have everything in life.

It isn't isn't very complex, I don't detect too many notes outside of vanilla, but in cool weather, I think it will be one to wear! It sounded like it was going to be a fruity sugar bomb, but I tried it after looking up the notes and fell immediately in love after it sat on my skin a short while. Although I can faintly smell the cedar in the deepest parts of the dry down, I really wouldn't describe this as woody or smoky. I smell similarities to The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods but replace the noticeable woody smokey note in that one with a woody moss note. Hints of Juicy Couture's Gold Couture without the fruity, pineapple backdrop and more sophisticated than GC as a result.It's a shame because I was really hoping to add a delicious, interesting, grown-up, gourmond vanilla to my collection. The sweetness is beautiful with the woody notes so that it doesn’t make it cloying on me and the white floral notes actually stop this scent from being too sweet. I don't quite know which accord gets the final compliment, maybe the mysterious peru balsam, or simply the excellent combination of white woods and vanilla, but this is pure heaven for a scent!
