Beautiful pink pineapple and then... nothing?!

Wasn't expecting much from this one based on the notes, but I was expecting SOMETHING and... I didn't really get anything? Don't get me wrong, the beginning is absolutely beautiful with that pink pineapple. It's juicy, fresh, tart and fruity. There's enough black pepper to add some complexity and depth to the fragrance.

But then it dries down to almost... nothing? I get a very faint tobacco accord and some lingering fruitiness but that's about it. Oh and some powdery accord, but I've got to smash my nose against my skin to even get a sliver of it. I got no flowers, no amber, no sandalwood. My skin chemistry ate everything up so fast, it was pretty disappointing. I'm still confused here and I don't know what happened. Will not be making it into my collection unfortunately.

plastic pineapple

I wanted to love this so bad. The marketing and art direction suggested something evocative of a 90s Memphis Design nightclub: cue the midnight hijinks and mirrors stamped with lipstick prints. A tropical amber? Sign me the heck up. While many reviewers take away different facets of Magenta – bold pepper, buzzy tobacco, or even a rare few spy some green notes – I can’t find any of that. To my nose, the intro is promising: clip-art perfect pineapple. But within five minutes it evaporates into a feeble, synthetic saccharine residue. Accessible, inoffensive, and retro-fruity like a drug store body mist. However, longevity and radiance are almost nil on my skin (and I got my sample direct from the vendors, so I don’t think it’s diluted!). Maybe in a different life, Magenta.

Mental Snapshot: It’s the 90s. You’re at the club. A blacklight and day-glo laser tag club. (It’s Kevin R.’s eleventh birthday, and the whole class is invited). You’re wearing perfume for the first time. (Your older sister’s “Maui Kiss” body mist). To impress Kevin J., of course. But under all that sweaty, plasticky, glow-in-the-dark armour, all either Kevins can smell is the funfetti cake of parties past.

tl;dr: plastic toy pineapple

Worth buy?

Overbearing opening of pineapple and galbanum. Pulpy pineapple in the style of Music for a While.
Then comes a dusty drydown (floral heart) and finally a sandalwood tobacco mix.
The scent is iridescent but did not completely win me over.
I can't say whether I like it or not, I certainly wouldn't buy it.
