Pure overdose
First I thought, without even knowing the fragrance. that one deals with the partly quite negative reviews, something too strict with "Pure Addiction". But when testing I could then convince myself that apparently something is wrong with the EdP.
"Pure Addiction" begins simply with far too much cardamom, which in combination with the bergamot plus the cistus rather unpleasantly sour, somewhat bitter, slightly pungent as well as a bit spicy and together with the clove slightly repulsive. I think cedar, basil and sage are also too much of a good thing mixed here and give the creation a strange twist. In addition, I hear a neat lavender note, which makes you wonder where it should come from.
After a good three hours, Pure Addiction seems tamed and with the woody notes and amber and patchouli far more moderate, but still quite half-baked and I was more or less glad that the charisma remained within the framework, even if the test took place as a precaution once again in the home office.
There the question arises for me, what could have gone wrong there if necessary. On the one hand, Pure Addiction seems like a cardamom overdose, on the other hand as if a few ingredients would still be missing. After all, there are also some very high ratings and there are probably delighted as well as strongly disinclined perfumos. My impression I have from an official sample, which is neither tilted nor other negative signs revealed. From this, one could now speculate that Pure Addiction actually polarizes so extremely or whether there are even strong batch differences.
Is also no matter, because the brand no longer exists apparently - and I'm not surprised about it
