Arabiyat Prestige Blueberry Musk: The Grown-Up Midnight Fantasy?
On this page
Arabiyat Prestige Blueberry Musk smells like a bowl of fresh blueberries over soft vanilla musk, and fans call it a grown-up Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy. Some put it around 90 percent alike, but with more depth from patchouli and oakmoss and better staying power.
- The vibe: juicy blueberry, a little floral, cozy musk.
- Most compared to: Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy.
- In stock now at TryParfums.
Remember Midnight Fantasy? The purple bottle, the candy-berry cloud, the scent so many of us wore growing up. Blueberry Musk is what happens when that vibe grows up and gets a better job.
It is fruity and fun, but the base is darker and more polished. Here is what it actually smells like, and whether it scratches the Midnight Fantasy itch.
Arabiyat Prestige Blueberry Musk
Arabiyat Prestige Blueberry MuskBlueberry, blackberry, freesia, vanilla, patchouliShop now
It opens with a blast of blueberry and blackberry. Freesia, lavender and rose float through the middle. Then it settles on raspberry, vanilla, oakmoss and patchouli, which is where it gets its grown-up edge. It comes in a 100ml Eau de Parfum.
Fans love that the blueberry sticks around: "a blast of blueberry, which remains throughout the life of the fragrance." Another says it is "candy-like and soft," not harsh or screechy. One wearer reports about 7 hours on skin and 10 or more on clothes once it settled in the bottle.
The flip side: a few people only get the patchouli and oakmoss, and one says the musk gives them a headache. If earthy notes are not your thing, sample first.
The Midnight Fantasy Connection
Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy, by perfumer Caroline Sabas, is plum, sour cherry and raspberry over orchid, iris and freesia, with vanilla, musk and amber at the base. It is sweet, fruity and a little powdery.
Blueberry Musk shares the berry-and-vanilla soul, and both have freesia in the middle. The difference is the base. One fan calls it "90% like" Midnight Fantasy "except it projects better and lasts longer." Another puts it perfectly: "a more grown up version of Midnight Fantasy."

So is it a dupe? Not a carbon copy. The fruit is different (blueberry versus plum and cherry), but the mood is very close, which is why the comparison keeps coming up.
