The Beach and Mountains
Boring was the word i thought when i sprayed it on my wrist but it showed me wrong. Endlessly aromatic and bitter woods but grounded warm earthyness on it's base, with minty barbershop type of scent as it dries down.
It's familiar in an unsettling way and it reminds me of a summer night on a calm beach with the mountains behind.
Not groundbreaking but it is very appealing, especially for someone that doesn't like cologne but wants a perfume to wear during those hot months.
I guess you can't judge a book by it's cover.

What Your Cool Grandma Smelled Like in the 60s
This fragrance is inspired by the Woodstock Music and Art Fair as well as Lennon and Ono’s staged ‘Bed-ins for Peace’ in Montreal and Amsterdam. Its a tribute to creativity, freedom and indulgence. You would think this is a dirty hippie fragrance but its more than that. This fragrance starts a little funky and herbal from the cannabis but its not photo-realistic, the bergamot lightens it. The funk smooths out and becomes more floral. Its masculine in the sense that the herbal notes feel like they are dried herbs and woody rather than fresh herbs. There is some sweetness in this fragrance from the vanilla and floral notes that keeps it from being too masculine and makes it fairly unisex.

This is an aromatic fragrance so it was airy and has decent projection, creating a nice scent bubble. The longevity is about 5 hours on my skin. There are several sizes and prices available such as $195 for 100ml, $85 for 30ml, and $30 for 9ml.

Cypress and violet leaf
The opening is your generic herbal woody patchouli, but the drydown takes an interesting twist with the addition of violet leaf and thyme.

The violet leaf, along with the cypress, adds a green forest-like vibe. It's still on the drier side due to the woods and light pepper, but that slight ozonic quality makes this fragrance stand out from your typical fresh spicy patchouli.

Performance is moderate. I'm enjoying the drydown quite a bit because it doesn't lean too medicinal. This fragrance doesn't smell like cannabis, so it doesn't become too herbal.

That green, slightly wet, ozonic quality is what brings me back. The cypress and violet leaf note really save this fragrance.

Give this a try. It's one of my favorites from the line.

What We Think About When We Think About Grass
What should I do with this little vial now? 'Purple Haze' was written on it along with '1969'. So, if what was inside was what it said on the label, then it must have gone bad a long time ago and this stuff surely wouldn't work anymore, or would be unpredictable at best. The latter made me pause. How much of an establishment figure do you have to be to throw away a test tube full of Purple Haze that has matured for over half a century? Besides, cannabis was listed among the ingredients, so there was no doubt about that. The only question now was how to use it. In tea, in cake, in tobacco, or would it be better to just swallow it?
I cautiously opened the small glass cylinder. A part of the liquid escaped over my fingers, hiding on my arm, spreading there. As I looked after the drop, I thought I perceived tiny clouds whispering softly, Mediterranean green, towering Giacometti cypress clouds, barely larger than matchsticks, greenish-yellow marble-sized bergamot clouds, flower-shaped pale violet clouds that smelled of light woods. But cannabis? This was no psychedelic party, no swirling intoxication, not even a longing for sweetness.
I closed my eyes to focus even more on the intimate experience, to enhance the colors of the film. I hallucinated bright woods frolicking to dry on a freshly mowed summer meadow, kitchen herbs and bright flowers. Damn, that’s exactly how the contents of the little plastic bags smelled that the guys in the city park had sold you when you needed something quick. It looked like ground cannabis leaves, but was usually just dried meadow grass with herbs. The money was gone, and we probably smoked wasps again, assuming their concentrated venom could do something. It always cracked like a campfire.
I turned back to the inner meadow, leaving the quiet grasses behind, smelling the sunny clean earth, on which surely no hippie had ever danced, marveling at moving boards dripping with soft vanilla, just a few warmer hours in shy, intimate silence. I thought about what we think about when we think about grass.

Inhale………. exhale
Compositions with cannabis always evoke a certain expectation in me. So far, it has never been fulfilled. Be it the infamous "Black Afgano (Extrait de Parfum) | Nasomatto," which became too sweet for me over time, or "Chronic | 19-69," which somehow has nothing to do with cannabis at all. Of course, I haven't tried them all yet; maybe someone has an idea. Right now, I'm feeling a bit of a craving for cannabis scents. Generally, resin and smoke are missing.

So now it's time for Purple Haze. From a brand that prides itself on creating counterculture. And what I have unfortunately often noticed in their compositions is a projection that is too light for my taste. Yes, there is a fantastically composed fragrance, but it is so weak that I find myself having to seek out the carrier medium, namely my arm, to discover it.
There are also outliers in the portfolio, yet I find it a pity, even though I know that some appreciate the subtlety.
But at nearly 2€ per milliliter and then not being able to perceive a Rainbow Bar after ten minutes without sniffing directly at the skin… difficult. I do like the brand and its values.

So, I have now acquired a bottle of this. A sample would have just gotten lost among my many other samples, and I do prefer bottles anyway.

Test subject Kai was definitely very pleased that I first scented him with this. The next day, I tried it on myself. However, I needed more sprays than usual. I was already used to that from "Chinese Tobacco | 19-69." I dose that one double. Together, they share their longevity. Great. And while Chinese Tobacco tends to fade and stay close to the skin, Purple Haze is at least temporarily a bit more assertive and communicative.
It seems to almost float.

There is a layer in the air that brings sweet vibes with a subtle resin note, then emptiness, and then the body level, which becomes less sweet but greener and earthier.
While fresh resin does have a similar effect, I would have wished for more intensity.

The grounded impression fades slowly, yet far too quickly. The green resin in a sweet cloak remains.

It just becomes too weak over time. It’s not enough for a whole day for me, but in summer, with a midday refresh, it’s a very relaxed scent. Still, a bit more punch wouldn’t have hurt.

Gentle, smoky, dry and herbaceous. It's edgy in a nonchalant way like listening to vintage vinyl records in a mid-century cottage

Either you want to smell like the highest quality weed or you don't. I do. And I dig.

The name doesn't fit. It doesn't smell like Purple Haze at all. First citrusy, then green woody and slightly earthy.

spicy-grassy, very green patchouli scene with a fresh cannabis note
nothing is smoking or burning here, but rather growing and thriving

For me, Palmarosa dominates here, and since I can't handle that, I'm out: very woody, very dry, very sparse, very spicy.

Bright smoky resin scent with an ethereal aura. Grassy-green undertones with mossy sprinkles. Cypressy, woody, earthy, aromatherapy!!

At first very resinous, almost incense-like and green-herbaceous. In the dry down, fluffy musk vanilla with just a hint of green-resinous undertones.
