Purple lemons?

Also because the fragrance translates purple means water, it is primarily lemons that set the tone here - and that is extremely dominant.

After all, Alberto Morillas, who is very much in demand and industrious, is known here on Parfumo for his more than 300 perfumes, especially for his very fresh fragrances. Like me, most people will associate him with Acqua di Giò by Armani.

And Purple Water also digs into this deep notch, which turns out to be a very refreshing citric aqua scent with slightly fruity as well as strong floral notes. Sprayed on paper, the nuances develop somewhat finer, so that the individual ingredients can be better filtered out. Finally, basil makes its summery fresh contribution to Purple Water as well as a restrained but recognizable trace of ginger.

At my limits I come across Jacaranda, which is because I know this only from hearsay. In the middle of the 70s there was a pop band called Sailor who had such smashing and world-famous smash hits like "Glass of Champagne" or "Girls, Girls, Girls". After that, they had already passed their zenith. Strangely enough, the third title I remember is "Jacaranda", almost completely unknown and insignificant, the meaning of which I had never thought about for over forty years.

Whatever that may be, today I know that Jacaranda is a kind of trumpet belly plant or rosewood tree, whose blossoms are purple and probably supposed to reflect the purple of this water. I guess it'll have the scent of some kind of white-flowered stamp on the whole thing.

I myself assumed that lavender and violets would have been the main ingredients of the Purple perfume. But as already mentioned above, this is a citric newbie with a few relatively inconspicuous nice extras, which is more than welcome especially at temperatures above 30°C.
