by Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera By Night is a sweet, gourmand fragrance with a prominent vanilla and fruity opening, featuring notes of red apple, pineapple, tangerine, and freesia. The composition evolves into a warm, powdery, and slightly spicy vanilla base with hints of heliotrope, peach blossom, sandalwood, and amber. While the fragrance is universally praised for its cozy, feminine, and evening-appropriate character—ideal for cold weather and romantic settings—it is noted for inconsistent longevity, with many users reporting it fades within a few hours. The sillage is moderate, with a close-to-skin presence that still allows for prolonged perception. Despite its appeal, some users find the vanilla overly dominant, the aroma slightly synthetic or cloying, and others report a reformulation that has altered its originally acclaimed depth and complexity. Overall, it stands as a beloved, affordable alternative to Hypnotic Poison, appreciated by those who enjoy soft, sweet, and warm scents.
