Like probably many others now, I immediately thought of the similarly named piece of music from my youth when I heard the name of the fragrance, which I have always found hard to connect with - just like its creator. And no one needs to complain about that; my wife is already doing that. In fact, "Purple" is esoterically justified today, details can be found on the manufacturer's website upon request.
Anyone expecting something floral in light of the information here will be surprised. 'Purple Reign' is cool and distant. A floor cleaner vibe on a scratchy base precedes a light-floral, strictly fresh more aura than scent, which reminds me of the violet with the steep forehead crease from 'Geste' by Humi?cki & Graef. Or - in style - even to Armani's currant leaf carpet foam 'Pierre de Lune'.
Most recognizably, I detect lavender from the floral corner. No, we better strike that remark; the sentence leads down a false path. It is not "floral." Other associations drift in, for a long time not precise enough for a concrete reference. More on that later.
Well, not that much later. At least not textually, because in the following hours there is hardly any change. Only around noon, when the fragrance becomes a bit creamier, does a resemblance to scents like the - certainly more sensual - 'Carnal Flower' finally reveal itself openly.
From below, a subtle, resinous sweetness seeps through. At least that's what I think. If that's opoponax, I say "aha," as I always thought it was sharper. But essentially, the green-floral-strict note persists well into the afternoon, although gradually becoming very quiet. Characteristically, it ultimately remains unchanged and slowly fades after seven or eight hours, leaving only a mild-sweet resin base at the threshold of imagination.
Conclusion: I find the matter a bit too joyless. The floral descriptions from the manufacturer leave me quite puzzled. I am curious to see what people with more floral fragrance experience can extract from it, where I could only scratch the surface.
I thank Serenissima for the sample.
