The scent of summer nights
When I first tried Midnight Rain years ago, it reminded me of CK Euphoria in a way. It was everything I wanted Euphoria to be: A similar kind of scent, just much better in every aspect: Less harsh, more creamy, better use of fruity notes, more rounded. In the meantime Euphoria Intense came out and entered my collection, so I don't see Midnight Rain as an improved Euphoria substitute anymore.

Midnight Rain opens like a very good tropical cocktail with luscious guava and pomegranate, both fruits I generally like a lot that aren't overused in perfumery. Patchouli is blended in nicely, it's very smooth in this fragrance. Neither sharp nor earthy or heavy. This is so lush and juicy, but at the same time warm.
As it dries down, it becomes even warmer and also wonderfully creamy. The patchouli is joined by plummy blossoms, a very feminine and soft musk and the cashmere wood, a note I never give much thought to, but it really does wonders here.

Two words perfectly describe Midnight Rain: Exotic and mysterious. It could be worn on summer nights, or on grey winter days when you need something warm and cozy that makes you think of those summer nights.

Now that it's been discontinued for years, the remaining bottles are sold for insane prices. I'm super happy I got this, but no one should pay 500€ to a reseller for it. I mean I love it, but I don't even wear it that often. It seems versatile, but I have to be in the mood for it.

Also not an Angel clone...
What is it about this expression, "Angel clone", that I do not understand? I know what ANGEL is. I believe that I understand the meaning of the word 'clone'. Why is every other sweet floriental in The Holey[sic] Book dismissed derisively as an "Angel clone"? Oh well.

La Prairie MIDNIGHT RAIN, unlike SILVER RAIN, conveys through its name the basic nature of the perfume. There is a darkness, a somewhat purple or dark blue richness, to this composition, which also features amber and therefore evokes in my mind memories of PRADA for her. MIDNIGHT RAIN, however, is lighter on the amber and a lot sweeter than the Prada creation. Still, I find them to be much closer olfactory neighbors than either one of them is to, say, Thierry Mugler ANGEL!

MIDNIGHT RAIN smells much richer and more inviting to me than SILVER RAIN for some reason, which seems in some ways odd, since I doubt that there is a significant difference in the quality of materials used. For whatever reason, MIDNIGHT RAIN hangs together better on my skin and to my nose. It's a rich, sweet, dark, and rather fruity amber perfume which, although a touch too sweet for me, should appeal to anyone who likes fruity florals but is looking for something a bit more formal and perfect for long winters' nights.
