Smooth, spicy, well-blended elixir. Something new.
Sampling Gallagher Fragrances Purple Powder, the latest release from this house under its main brand name, a provocative and effective name as it’s a floral, yet dark, spicy, and sweet blend, consisting of main notes of yellow mandarin, black and pink pepper, iris powder, cedarwood, benzoin, and toasted cinnamon. It’s a little powdery but leans more so sweet with a bit of a spun sugar vibe, yet it refrains from being too sweet. It’s velvety smooth and refined throughout, and has just a touch of freshness (via the flowers and cedar) to keep things from being too heavy. It’s instantly one of my favorites of the house, a creative blend that delivers a bit of an elixir, something of fantasy, yet clearly rooted in an interesting ensemble of notes that makes it seem like the unique sum of its parts, with no notes really overshadowing the others.
Like most of the line, Purple Powder is priced at $125 for 50ml and is EDP concentration. I think the value is very high and, as with most of the line’s fragrances, it performs very well. For now it’s sold only on the house site but I believe it will be available at Perfumology like the rest of the house’s offerings.
