The impatience of the heart
I love the concept of Map of the Heart. From the very literally designed bottles to the names and colors of the fragrances - it all appeals to me. One look at the pyramid made me want to try V.3.

What is not mentioned in the fragrance description on Parfumo are the names of the fragrances listed on the website. The red heart V.3 is therefore the Heart of Passion. "Rebellious. Mature. Explosively seductive," says the manufacturer.

The first spritz is initially tart bergamot and a little peppery tickle on the nose. Then comes a sweet, ripe red apple, fruity and delicious! There's still a lot going on at this point. After a few minutes it becomes floral with tuberose, a little cinnamon incense, do I smell sandalwood now? That goes quickly. After a good half hour, sweet vanilla, musk and patchouli finally form a gentle frame and the fragrance becomes very close to the skin. I can't recognize guava in the course of the fragrance. Rebellious and explosive? Rather not.

I have to compare it with V.5 because I find it totally fascinating. Unfortunately, the red sister is weaker and can't keep up with the H/S of the purple heart. I only found out after my review that it's called Valour, bravery. And somehow it all makes sense again in this overall concept: while V.5 is loud and somehow polarizing with its contrasts, V.3 is more pleasing and sweet. The closeness to the skin and cuddliness is certainly better suited to the intimate passion between two people. The red one is more of a flatterer that wants to please and seduce.

By the way, as a newcomer, I noticed something exciting. When I sprayed it, I immediately recognized it, and then I had it - L'Interdit Rouge! Tart opening, tuberose heart and patchouli-sandal base. For me, they are similar in their composition, even if the designer has a better H/S and is more intense overall. However, I prefer the finish of V.3 because it seems less heavy to me.

Fruity-floral on a woody base, bitter-sweet and a little smoky. I really dig this one.
