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. 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). The woody musk scent really rounds this out beautifully and elevates the fruitiness so that it's feminine without being too "girly". Then it took a path of sweetness of its own, a newly opened box of comfit, sweets and candies opens in my hands. I wore this today and enjoyed the Juicy Fruit Gum notes that continually wafted very noticeably in my space.

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. It smells very similar Mon Paris by YSL, it had the same strong rotting-sweet red berry smell, which I learned to appreciate. I like musks when done right, like the clean musk in Narciso, Delina, or Ex Nihilo's Gold Immortals.A warm, woody base of Patchouli joins creamy Praline and powdery Musk, inviting you into the endless possibility that the witching hour brings. 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 .

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.Founded in 1988, Maison Margiela is synonymous with unconventional principles, synergising unique heritage with an exploration of deconstruction. To my surprise Midnight was the best perfume I smelled out of the 20+ I sampled while I was there, including Nectar. It smells like a generic floral at first, but the jasmine, musk, and saltiness really shine after the first half hour.

The way the blackcurrant and peony (but smells like a full-bodied rose to me) merges with a warm musk skin-scent has a decidedly 'middle of the night' vibe. 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.Please consult your doctor before taking any new product, particularly if you are already under medical care.

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. Revel in the charm of Viktor and Rolf's signature scent, the Flowerbomb Midnight, a perfect concoction of fruity-floral notes that allows you to break free from the ordinary and embrace the mystery of the night. That black currant pomegranate opening is moody, juicy, and mysterious in a way that fits the dark bottle quite well. Although I have to admit if both sisters were involved in some kind of face-off battle, I think the OG would win. I own two perfumes that were mentioned on previous reviews (YSL Mon Paris and Moonlight by Ariana Grande) and definitely Flowerbomb Midnight reminds me A LOT of MON PARIS from YSL, without the sharpness of the initial blast.Delicious black currant and pomegranate kick this off in a fantastic berry scent (not plasticky) that mellows to a gorgeous peony scent with jasmine. I personally consider Flowerbomb Midnight to be more of a romantic scent rather than a bar-hopping, wild party-girl scent.
