Notes:
Children of the Night: What sweet music they make! A nice Gothic blend of dragon’s blood, silky champas, deep vanilla, dark black fig, and the haunting faint breath of heliotrope. This unisex scent will them howling for more.
There is a note in a few of the Deep Midnight perfumes I have sampled that has that synthetic, plasticky smell that's kind of like bandaids. This one has it too, and it's quite strong both in the vial and when first applied. I feel like it might be the heliotrope, which can sometimes smell a bit weird on me. I'm not overly keen on this - it's not quite a scrubber, but that synthetic note distracts me. When it dries down it smells like vanilla and incense. The sillage is not strong, and the lasting power is medium. I don't have much else to say about this one, but I'm definitely not howling for more...

Hmmm... I´m not very find of champa or dragons blood, but vanilla and figs sounds nice... Synthetic though is a definite deal breaker...
ReplyDeleteI like the name but fig and a synthetic note? Figs never work on me with exceptions like Premier Figuier from L'artisan.
ReplyDeleteThe name makes me think of a horror flick, like Children Of The Corn :D
ReplyDeleteBandaid smell, argh!
The last line in your review is so funny! Too bad this had a synthetic air to it. I suppose the only good thing about perfume duds is they allow us to further appreciate the beautiful perfumes we love!
ReplyDeleteI had this sample...I think the heliotrope smells like the bandaid smell you mentioned...even fresh helioptrope flowers smell that way to me. I got this as a free sample in an order. It's not me even though I do love the champa and dragon's blood in it. Gave the sample of it to my sis-in-law and everywhere she went people loved it on her. She had to buy bottles for three friends at her work place. One man's bread is another man's cake I guess.
