What is up with this frag? The bottle very classy, the scent so dark and unique. A truly patchouli lover’s dream. The price, under $20; it doesn’t make sense. But, I’m not here to question the price. Just grab a bottle if you are into ethnic, dirty patchouli scents. The longevity is pretty descent for the price range. As it dries, an incense, smoky scent lingers with you. You can easily layer this with other sweet or flowery scents to give them character and uniqueness.

So what other Sarah Horowitz creation can be had for under $8.00 USD for 2.5oz? If you know, please tell me so I can jump right on it. Until then I’ll content myself with Midnight Promise.
A dark patchouli fragrance, to be sure. But one that’s got a zippy cinnamon note, a smooth, warm amber, a deep red rose and something that reminds me of grape juice. More balsamic than woody and not something I’d wear in warm or hot weather. I’m wearing it now but it’s a very cool summer evening and I keep waving my arms around, smiling as I drink in this gorgeous purple elixir.
The cap is metal, not plastic and the bottle is a heavy, solid purple glass, not just coated with a purple finish. Actually quite pretty.
Excellent longevity and monster sillage so apply with caution. If I were to wear this to work I think one spray under my blouse/t-shirt would suffice for a 10 hour shift. Love it!

i expected this to be something like midnight poison
but all i can smell is medical dirty patchouli
very medical and very bitter
extremly bitter patchouli like dirt on the ground
rose ? cannot smell it
bottle is very heavy
if you like salvador dali pour homme you may like this one
it’s the same dark beast patchouli
i’ve tested like five times
always the same feelings
maybe my bottle had gone bad
there’s no rose here

I won an auction for this for around $2.50. It’s strong. Industrial strong. I do not like this. It makes my throat itch and it smells cheap, I am sorry to say.

This is a beautiful fragrance, a comfort scent. A bit fruity. The camphor smell at the beginning quickly fades. Cinnamon and incense is one of my favorite combinations. Enjoying this immensely.

This is a really neat perfume! I hadn’t heard of it before, and noticed it on ebay. Looked it up here, and seemed like a safe blind buy, considering the price and that the notes are ones I like. Plus, the bottle looks cool.
The pyramid is highly accurate here. It is a patchouli-rose perfume. The patchouli isn’t too dirty, and even though it’s dominant, it isn’t overpowering. The rose is a black or dark red “potpourri” dried rose. Very Victorian, to me.
I also smell the incense, a slightly astringent orange (but muted and mellow at the same time), a small amount of vetiver, prominent cinnamon (like freshly ground cinnamon, or cinnamon sticks, with a hint of a nutmeg/clove vibe, too. Not candy cinnamon). I think there’s an unlisted plum note, too, but that could just be the interplay of the notes mixed with the power of suggestion due to the purple bottle.
I’m funny about musk. Usually I find I don’t like it, and it is definitely noticeable at the beginning, but I have to search for it now that it’s dried down for several hours. It’s never unpleasant and it and the very noticeable sandalwood play off each other nicely. They round out the notes I mentioned already that can tend toward harshness and sharpness.
To me this smells much nicer than the $12 I paid. I will be repurchasing.
I think that the nose who made this had a limited budget, and she made up for it with a very well executed harmony of notes. Everything works together for the betterment of the composition. It isn’t the most complex perfume I’ve encountered, but it is, technically speaking, pretty much perfect.
The worst thing I can say is that the lid came off the bottle during transit and a bunch leaked out. Potential buyers, be aware that this could be a design flaw with regards to the bottle/lid.
Edited to add: people who want to like Agent Provocateur, but who find it too harsh, might like this. It isn’t really similar―spicier and fruitier and less earthy less metallic―and it flirts with gourmand territory, but some of the notes are similar and the price is definitely right!

Four or five years ago, 2.5 oz of this Sarah Horowitz creation sold for about $100 US. Now it can be picked up for $12 – $18 on discount sites. If you are a patient eBayer, you might be able to win it for $5 or less.
At $3.50 for 2.5oz on eBay, this is likely the cheapest bottle of Midnight Promise I’m going to find.
First Impressions:
1. The bottle and cap remind me of Kylie Minogue’s Music Box only with smooth, heavy glass.
2. The juice smells nothing like the bottle.
This is a bit of a mixed bag. The opening is medicinal but give it a few minutes. Once it settles it is a moderately dry, earthy, woody, rose-patchouli with dried orange rind and cinnamon. It’s a bit camphoric. There’s quite a bit of vetiver in here. And something else. Is it oakmoss? Cinnamon and musk are prominent in the dry down.
It has a bit of a masculine vibe and I’d consider this unisex.
For the price it’s not bad at all. I’ve been wearing this on cool evenings and I am more than pleased with my $3.50 purchase!

Midnight Promise is a Sleeper.
It grows on you, and it actually sticks around a helluvalot longer than you realize.
You think you eventually have this beautiful recently snuffed incensey candle on your skin. – a little waxy, musky, very balsamic and subtle.
You don’t realize that those around you are aware of it, because it’s not a Sillage Monstre.
I think it’s a good perfume to wear when you want to smell really fine, but not get up anyone’s nose: the workplace, crowded elevators, for example.
It’s a Nuzzling Perfume.
Now I’m sad that I gallantly refused the offer of one at the time; I’ll buy one instead.

This is a soft unisex charmer. I’m going to make this short. I smell a mix of M’Eau Joe by Opus Oils in the beginning and sweetened Bois Farine by L’Artisan toward the middle. I get a cocoa note in this, though it isn’t listed. Dries down to a slightly powdery sandalwood, patchouli, cocoa and amber comfort scent. I do wish the projection and longevity were better, but I’m loving this perfume.
