Midnight Pomegranate
by Bath and Body Works

My honest thoughts at first spray were very positive at the dark, lush fruitiness of the concoction. Unfortunately, as it dries down and the musky vanillic sweetness comes through, it begins to remind me more of Ny-Quil cough syrup. It becomes thick, cloying, medicinal. Like a bad piece of candy. It gets a neutral for me, though, because 2/3rds of the fragrance pyramid are enjoyable.

This was my daily scent before I got hooked on Sensual Amber, and I have to admit that as a result of using this scent, I'm still very fond of pomegranate scents. However, this scent doesn't dry the best and can smell too sticky sweet or too chemically at different points following its application. A great scent, but could use some improvement.

I have Midnight Pomegranate in body lotion and body splash, and I enjoy it when I want something fruity and fun. It's a tart red fruity smell, sugar dusted over that, with a bit more depth in the base than you'd expect, though I can't detect all the notes listed. It is a [i]wee[/i] bit candle shop'ish, but not too bad. As Keds suggests, it smells great layered with Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir, which gives it more edge and interest. I'm wearing this combination today for Thanksgiving dinner.

I just got this in the body spray as I thought it would be a nice "exotic" for summer as it smells pretty fruity at first, then dries down spicy. My beloved sensual amber/flowerbomb combo is a bit heavy for 90+ temps! I also plan on layering it with my Jo Malone Pomegranite Noir in the fall to freshen it up a bit and with my SL un bois vanille just for fun! This seems to be a fragrance that works year round. Also the home products---candle, fragrance oil--are really great!

The opening notes are wonderful, it's a shame the basenotes ruin it. Imagine dark fruit (not real pomegranate, but something better). Smells "purple" to me. It's really shameful that so many wonderful fragrances are ruined by basenotes of musk and vanilla (and tobacco in this one!). Drydown smells like a very cheap ladies perfume. But the first few minutes are unique.

What a difficult scent to describe.
It’s sweet and intense but with a fresh opening (might just be the alcohol) , it has a dark soul but it’s still playful.
I was thinking like a russian roulette but with less fatal outcomes.
The top feels heavy and unapologetic (but it’s only the initial blast) , but later on becomes more relaxing and softer. It also felt a bit romantic. Doesn’t smell like real pomegranate, wich I don’t think it’s really a shock.
I think a real treat (if not a must try) is to layer this one with Black Currant Vanilla Body lotion or even with its Black Currant Vanilla massage oil also by B&BW, that alone makes it last much longer. Smells smashingly sexy on a woman.
They should make this one stronger.
