  1. The opening is very sweet and fruity, but it doesn’t work for me; however, it improves once it dries down. It’s not a dupe of Good Girl, although they share notes. It smells like cheap, old-fashioned feminine perfume with a 90s vibe. Longevity and sillage are average.

  2. The first two times I tried it, I didn’t like it; I could smell a lot of alcohol. I tried it again two weeks later and noticed a big change: it smells sweeter and more vanilla-like. It doesn’t last long, but for the price, it performs well.

    Dance Midnight… is a beauty; it makes you feel pampered and special. It’s sensual, exotic, and elegant. Despite reminding me of several famous perfumes, it’s a fragrance that is enjoyable to wear. It bears a strong resemblance to Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl, but nothing like Trussardi’s Sound of Donna. The price is good. On my skin, it lasted about six hours, and longer on clothes. The sillage lasts for the first hour, then it becomes a personal delight. Everyone loves it. It’s worth it. Perfumes and more.. Nahuell.

    For the price, it’s brilliant. It smells very good and reminds me of Good Girl with chocolate. Longevity and everything else are perfectly suited to its price. Ideal for gifting or if you don’t want to invest much in perfumery.

  5. Bought blind and… I liked it! I had doubts because I hadn’t tried it and didn’t know what it would smell like; I bought it because I’m a fan of Shakira and it was one of her bestsellers. At first, when I applied it, I didn’t entirely like it; to my nose, it seemed very strong, not fruity or sweet (as I prefer), so I thought about keeping it just for collection. However, I decided to give it another chance and wore it on a cold, windy day, and I must admit I was surprised by the different scent it took on in that weather, as if it blended. I read several negative reviews about longevity, but on me, it lasted over five hours and stayed impregnated on my clothes; I don’t know if it’s my pH, but it did last on me. I perceive the aroma as sweet; at the start, I only noticed the pink pepper, and when it dries down, it smells of cocoa and vanilla. Longevity: 8/10, Sillage: 7/10.

    I wore it a while ago and have always loved it. It doesn’t have much sillage or longevity, but for its price, it’s more than acceptable. It reminded me a lot of YSL’s Libre Le Parfum, which I bought recently, and it smells exactly like Dance Midnight.

    I know this perfume because my aunt wears it, and whenever she uses it, I ask what she’s wearing. It’s a perfume with good sillage that smells very much of vanilla; I love it!

  8. It reminds me hugely of Good Girl by Carolina Herrera, from the same Puig house. The bottle is beautiful; it’s the budget version of Carolina’s. It has a decent trail and lasts quite a while.

    Generally, it smells too sweet to me; it’s not the best cologne in the world, but it smells nice. The problem is that it lasts about twenty minutes on my skin and has no sillage. I wouldn’t recommend it, especially not blind. From this brand, I would recommend Rock or Dance Midnight Muse.

  11. At first it’s floral and vintage, but once it dries down on my skin it turns into vanilla with cocoa and liquor. Mmm, I really enjoy it, although it doesn’t last or project as much, but for the price it’s excellent.

  13. At first it smells imported, but then the breeze fades. Within minutes it’s a floral soap scent, like benzoin or licorice, with a vintage vibe but cheap on my skin where it doesn’t dry down. After 4-5 hours it’s very skin-scented and projects nothing. For the price, you can’t ask for more.

  14. My first Shakira perfume and I love it! Very similar to Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl. The trail is moderate and the longevity regular, but the scent is exquisite.

  15. To me it’s delicious and reminds me of Michael Kors Starlight Shimmer. It lasts about 5 hours on my skin and is absolutely rich.

  16. For the scent I give it a 10 for its softness and freshness, but it projects nothing and lasts skin-scented for between 4 and 5 hours. It’s my personal taste, very soft.

  17. I’d give it a 10 for the scent; I like its softness and freshness, but it projects nothing and lasts barely on the skin for four to five hours. A personal preference, but very soft.

    To me, it smells like Good Girl but softer. Mostly vanilla with cocoa, though at first it’s fruitier and I don’t detect the florals. It’s very gourmand, good value, but it doesn’t last long, like all of Shakira’s fragrances in my experience.

    It does remind me of Good Girl, but softer. It smells mostly of vanilla with cocoa; the opening is fruity, but I don’t detect the florals. It’s very gourmand, excellent value, but with very poor longevity, like all Shakira perfumes on my skin.

    Sexy and super elegant air at a bargain price. One of Shakira’s gems. I own Blossom Love by Amouage, and once it dries down, it smells just like that amaretto note. It’s for evening wear: picture it with a short, shimmering dress. Apply it to your skin on a breezy day and the result is pure magic.

    I find it very sweet and it doesn’t remind me of Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl, although many say it does. To me it smells like a men’s fragrance, but well, everyone has their own opinion.

    Sexy and very elegant air at a very affordable price. One of Shakira’s most surprising creations. As I own Amouage’s Blossom Love, I say it resembles that amaretto note once dried. It’s for the evening. I imagine it with a short, shiny dress. If you wear it on your skin on a windy night, the result is magic.

  23. It has an elegant air at an excellent price, but it has a major drawback: it doesn’t last at all. It reminds me of Lancôme L’VEB. Pity its short trail and longevity.

  24. I tried it today at a hypermarket: it’s weak in longevity, but rich if you like vanillas, although it retains fresh notes like bergamot. I don’t feel the vanilla is artificial at all, which is noticeable in others at the same price. Great for daily wear or if you don’t want to spend much.

  25. It’s 80% similar to Good Girl, especially in the opening where the freshness of bergamot and the fruitiness of the pear are noticeable. However, once dried the resemblance decreases. I find it sweeter and caramelised than the GG, and I don’t perceive its floral notes. It lasts about 4 hours with moderate projection. It’s very pleasant, an accessible alternative for all budgets.

  26. It’s a sweet, classic scent, but it fades quickly without leaving a trail and doesn’t stand out for anything.
