Sweet and Nighttime Scent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Rabanne Midnight Sex sample, and it smells sweet and a little bit warm. It has a more playful and bold vibe compared to the others. I enjoyed using it.

I would pass of this one
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This perfume has a very musky smell, but not in a pleasant way. The sample size came with a broken tip, making it difficult to dispense the perfume.

Wasn’t really a fan of opening but died down nicel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] upon application it opened up with coconut and leather which i’m not really a fan of either notes but it didn’t smell as bad i thought it would based of those notes. It is very warm and after a while it did start to smell a little woody which i liked. i feel this comes off as more masculine than feminine in my opinion. only lasted a few hours on my skin which sucks since its EDP but i kind of expected that

Best Scent from Rabanne
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am usually not a big fan of this brand but the scent has changed my mind and I may even purchase a full size bottle. I loved the way it settled on my skin and it lasted very long on my clothes. This is definitely more of an evening scent. When I wore it out, I got a lot of compliments and people made it known they can smell me so I also would say the projection is pretty good. Definitely recommend if you are a fan of this brands colognes

Ok fragrance, awful name
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of those fragrances you might be able to get away with wearing yearlong. It’s a little sweet from the coconut so I could see it working in spring summer. But it’s also a little musky from sandalwood, so I think fall/winter would be fine too. I think the fragrance itself is really unique and you’ll definitely have to see how it smells to decide if you’ll like it for yourself. It’s definitely female but not overtly so. My biggest complaint is the name, awful name! Wouldn’t want to put that in my search engine!

Did not care for this one but maybe you will
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This reminds me a lot of tuberose astral. The animalic tuberose kinda takes over after the opening and overshadows all the other notes. I’m not the biggest tuberose fan so this isn’t my style. The good thing is, like most things from Rabanne it seems well made and so far it’s performing like a champ! I would say try before you buy but if you like fragrance with a big dose of tuberose then you will love this one!
