About this deal

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. A lingering ode infused with sensual notes of jasmine, followed by a luscious heart of vanilla, then concludes with a base of precious musk. Sparkling and dewy jasmine petals, sensual vanilla and an addictive blend of soft musk captivate with a hint of seduction.

I agree that Al Rehab; Golden Sand is a good dupe for this and have recently stumbled across Sunnamusk; Golden Dust, which is not only a great dupe for this, but has beast mode projection, lasting power (days on a sample card) and sillage.

Only one scary minus: If I have understood correctly, the production has been discontinued, so it won't be easy to find in the future. The downside is that it’s VERY weak, you’ll probably have to spray at least 10 times to get any decent performance out of this. S. these days), and although MS is still available online, it's no longer sold at Ulta as it's been replaced by it's fraternal sister, Twilight Shimmer (the praline version of MS's vanilla).

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! And heck yes to the Kors team for giving us a bottle with a lid that actually snaps tight into place. I agree that this does remind me of Cologne of the Missions Les Couvent des Minimes, but it's different enough that i could see owning both. The vanilla in this is very much a Mexican vanilla extract, almost syrupy, but also has that "frosting cream" vibe. I absolutely adore this perfume, it's one of my all time favourites and I'm beyond gutted that it's been discontinued.

On the bright side, it’s a great layering fragrance for when I want to add a bit of sweet vanilla into my perfume. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). It's a shame because I was really hoping to add a delicious, interesting, grown-up, gourmond vanilla to my collection. Midnight Shimmer is like a lighter version that can be worn at bedtime and wont be as over powering. Its very sweet, smells very gourmand so if you don't like this sort of a scent, you will be in sugary overload.

Midnight Shimmer is a slow burn without much change from the moment you spray to the end, just softening in strength. Somehow, I don't feel that the bottle color or the name Midnight Shimmer matches the composition, but vanilla-based perfumes are known to turn brown over time, so this bottle might help to hide that! On my next wearing I will be layering it over a vanilla-based lotion or cream or even an unscented body oil. 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.This service empowers individuals to make well-informed purchasing choices by trying out various fragrances, or simply explore a diverse range of scents without the typical financial commitment. It reminds me of Vanille Insensee by Atelier yet Atelier has more strength and depth and lasts longer. I wanted to love this, but i sadly present an unpopular opinion that this was quite nauseating for me. I went to Sephora and smelled all the ones they had there and other than a headache, I left empty handed.
