Surprisingly Nice Sweet Patchouli Floriental
I am surprised at how nice Kat Von D SINNER smells. Not sure why, except of course that it is a celebrity launch. Sweet floral patchouli is obviously a huge fad, and in SINNER I don't think that anything very new is being done, but the blend smells fairly good and better than some of the other perfumes occupying the same general olfactory neighborhood.
In some ways, this is a budget version of something along the lines of Juliette has a Gun VENGEANCE EXTREME. The big difference is that here the flowers are white, rather than roses. But the big, big patchouli, and the sweet vanilla come through even the fairly strong musk base. Although I hasten to add that this composition is quite a bit less musky than, say, Tocca CLEOPATRA, to which SINNER can be favorably compared.
Not bad at all. I do not believe that this smells cheap, although it is inexpensive relative to the niche analogues. To my nose, the plum in this composition is very low key, so I would not call this one a fruity chypre. No, this is a straightforward floriental, it seems to me. Needless to say: for patchouli lovers only!
