Minuit à New York

Thank you Dora Baghriche for creating this whimsical timeless fragrance. I absolutely L♥V E! L ♥VE ! L♥VE ! I love white flowers so much and having peony in it makes it so delicate!. ....What a incredible experience I had with this one... opening the shiny fuchsia box that is absolutely breathtaking was just one perk. It's beautiful 🌸🌷🌸 with the beautiful swan logo with Gloria Vanderbilt's gorgeous handwriting" signature". It is so very soft and feminine. This is not a toilette like the original yellow juice Vanderbilt though, this one is a parfum but the other one is stronger??!!. This is easily my new signature scent and it is really magical. The bottle is just absolutely stunning. I always loved swans. Its heavy clear glass with the signature swan design engraved in it like the original but it's the 🌷fuchsia magenta colour of this juice that has me captivated.This is my favorite bottle out of my entire collection. I'm surprised it took me this long to find it. Now let's talk about the warm but fruity, white flower bubble gummy soft but also lush scent of this perfume. It is airy and dewy and smells a tad like 💄 lipstick, its a little waxy. It is an exquisite perfume. It is youthful and fun but there is something very mature about it I think it's probably the flowers💐 that make this sent well-rounded. It is uplifting fragrance. It's a Powerhouse too and lasts a long time on my skin. I sprayed it 7 hours ago and it smells like I just sprayed it. The suede is probably what gives this scent a powdery "feel" to it. The sandalwood giving it warmth. I cannot believe that I got this off of eBay for less than $15. It a so pretty I will order another bottle right now before its discontinued. A great year round scent day or night it's very versatile even though the name means "Midnight" in French, this can be worn anytime day or night anytime of the year. If you haven't got this try it I think you'll really like it. Its so feminine and sexy too. I will always have a bottle in my collection. ♥ At first this reminds me of a a more "fruitier"? version of Kim Kardashian original perfume or even a tad like a fruity flowery Sand and Sable or FRACAS... Its the white flowers... so BUBBLEGUM timeless and clean.

This was a fragrance that was sold for a limited time. She will always lose to the best seller that is the original and fist Vanderbilt fragrance. This is the Midnight Poison version of Vanderbilt. This is a scent of night blooming flowers. Midnight in New York? You don't want to know what 12AM in NYC smells like. This is more like midnight in a little flower bed in Central Park. The scent is big on patchouli so if you're familiar with patchouli and it's bad ass projection and aromatic smoky aspects you'd like this. I feel however that it's not as intense as other patchouli fragrances. The other big note on this frag is leather and suede. It smells very expensive and very much like realistic leather to the point that it turns into a man's cologne scent. But the peony and tuberose as well as hyacinth are keeping it feminine and sweet. Out of all the floral scents the hyacinth is the dominant note to my nose. But the others are clearly there especially gardenia and jasmine even a little violet. This is a really great fragrance of many facets. It's too bad it's no longer available anywhere. I'm glad I still have mine. And I wish midnight in New York smelled like this!

On my skin, this is a very light skin scent that leans a little bit soapy, a little "granny-ish". Bizarre that it has no fruit notes listed as I could swear there is something cherry or plum-ish here. It smells rather artificial and I hate to say it - cheap. I guess what do you expect for less than £10. Edit: I should add that I am a fan of the original Vanderbilt, particularly the vintage.

I really like this. It is a very wearable floral scent with an uppity vibe. Easygoing and content. On my skin it has a little spicy undertone in the drydown, which makes it interesting - I say it as somenone who does not like pink pepper in perfumes (cloves are ok). Even though I tried modern contemporary designer perfumes, they either do not appeal to me or if they do (Donna by Valentino, Bottega Veneta) they make me sick. Trust me, if I found something more expensive on the racks in perfume shops that I would love, I would buy it. There is beauty in simple things and no, I do not mind that people cant smell me from the other side of the hall :) If your skin cant deal with musk (especially in the drydown of perfumes) in a nice way, you are good to go with this one.

A blind buy based on the reviews here, and a good one! Initial impression: very flowery, creamy, warm, sultry, sweet but not to sweet. No fruit, which is good. Patchouli is not noticeable for me, sandalwood is. Friendly and certainly not girly, rather very feminine. A scent for mature women of all ages. Use in moderation, it is potent and long lasting. Seems right for Dutch autumn and winter, it is perhaps too heavy for summer. I have always disliked the original yellow Gloria Vanderbilt fragrance, fortunately this scent is nothing like it. I have the 100 ml, with a transparent bottle. The swan is nicely old-fashioned, but the spray cap looks cheapish and not very solid. Anyway, it is the juice that counts. And it does not smell like any other perfume I know of, which is a huge plus for me. Might be my new signature scent!
