Meh....
Amber is one of my favourite notes, so I had to try the new Midnight Amber Glow from B&BW. There is not much I can say about it. It is a nice enough gourmand for cooler weather. Coconut is not a listed note, but I swear I can detect a hefty dose of coconut in it, and I do pick up on the latte which is not too unlike Pumpkin Marshmallow Latte which is in my collection.
I would not turn down a gift of Midnight Amber Glow, but it is not special enough for me to purchase a bottle even for half off. B&BW's best amber fragrance is Sensual Amber which is truly special and one of my favourite fragrances ever.
Midnight Amber Glow on the other hand is a bit generic and too similar to several other B&BW fragrances I already own. It is definitely worth testing if you love amber and gourmand ambers in particular. I think performance would be best if layered with the body creme or the body lotion. Midnight Amber Glow would be a crowd pleaser. It is warm and snuggly but not very distinctive.
Midnight Amber Glow would be a nice stocking stuffer and a solid addition to a sparse Autumn/Winter fragrance collection, but if you want the best B&BW amber, then you cannot do better than Sensual Amber.
