Color of Mood: Purple

No, the "Soprano" was not on the first place among the Xerjoff fragrances I was dying to know. But as luck would have it, I received a "Soprano" sample as a little add-on to my purchase at the perfumery where I bought the Discovery set of PMdP fragrances. Of course, I had to try it without collecting more Xerjoffs samples now, which I did - with all due respect and reverence :) And the first sniff at the test strip was a bit confusing, I must admit. First thought, "Okeeey...is that all? Is there more to come? Fruity-nice and kind of artificial - is THAT a Xerjoff scent?"

It wasn't until I sprayed Soprano on my skin and wore it for several hours that I could make out the thoroughly distinct appeal of the scent. I perceive him fruity, warm, sweet with a very light oriental touch. The pleasant sweetness is provided by the not-exactly-titled "fruit notes" (hence my confusion - I couldn't make out which fruits they were, which gave the impression of unnaturalness) as well as the floral notes, first and foremost beautiful, not too sultry rose. Warmth is provided by the leather-milk-oud combination.

The fragrance notes are so densely interwoven that, in my opinion, there is hardly a clear scent progression. The fragrance remains linear and strong throughout for me. Nevertheless, I find him quite changeable, just in a different way than a strict alternation of notes according to the scheme head-heart-base. To my subjective sensibilities, this changeability manifests itself in the scent sometimes seeming more fruity, sometimes more leathery, sometimes more rosy, and then again more fruity, sometimes more oudy, and then again more milky-leathery as the day progresses. These small jumps - like the images in a kaleidoscope - make for me the charm of this perfume.

The longevity of the scent on my skin, however, is not as strong as most reviewers here. After 8 hours, it's pretty much gone. The projection and sillage are also good, but not over the top. However, it could be that this is due to the spray power of the sample.

What is my overall impression of the fragrance? Well, instead of artificial, I would now choose the word artificial. The fragrance is "made" but "finely made", as well as one dresses up for a concert visit or a christening. This is a thoroughly attractive feminine sweet-warm elegant fragrance, but it doesn't suit me or my sense of self. The fact that it is nevertheless - justifiably - liked and appreciated by many is absolutely understandable to me. Just like the color violet - beautiful, expressive, but does not fit everyone:)

Purple Oriental Fragrance

Velvety, purple, golden, not golden bottle.
Yes and so is also about the content:
I feel the scent oriental, very resinous, woody, earthy and spicy.
Gaanz slightly fruity, little bit, minimal floral and at the same time austere and from the state of mind rather adult, serious but also sultry, demanding and also strict, sacral, not necessarily generally pleasing, for me however quite valuable, noble and quite dominant from the impression.
A little bit, here and there he reminds me of TF Black Orchid,
but this one is even more pleasing because it is fruity, flowery and has some sweetness. At least on my skin, according to my sensation.

The Soprano in the Orient

Actually I don't like rose, oud and leather in a perfume, but on the other hand I just couldn't resist buying Soprano blind. 3 days later I held a bottle of Soprano in my hands I'm nervous and think to myself why did you buy it, you do not really like such a thing, but what the heck zack and sprayed 3 sprays. I smell leather, rose, oud and something fruity, I think to myself that's not going to work but about 3-4 minutes later the rose and the leather retreat and I'm left with a really beautiful sweet, fruity, slightly leathery scent which is perfectly accompanied by oud. I breathe a sigh of relief Soprano suits me very well and is not too overbearing either. Over the next few hours, this great sweetness continues to emerge. I'm not quite sure if Soprano is the right name for it, because it's more oriental and not like an Italian opera light and fresh, but I don't want to take anything off for it, because the name doesn't necessarily suggest a geographical scent like Azura or Azzurro does. The best thing about Soprano, however, is that this perfume has succeeded in getting me excited about notes that used to trigger a washing-up compulsion in me. I can recommend all those who are similar to me test Soprano it is really a very nice unisex fragrance with great performance.

A luxurious, powerful fragrance dressed in beautiful purple which is to die for, literaly.

Indeed, the colour purple if worn by the wrong person at one time in history could have led to their death during the times when the people who brought us opera, and therefore the sopranos, were in power. I am talking of the mighty Romans, of course.

If you do a little research in to the colour purple, this is just some of the information on the history of the colour, "Purple as the royal colour started with ancient monarchies. The colour was difficult to produce, which made it expensive and available only to upper society. Rulers wore purple robes and used purple ink to sign their edicts. Some Roman emperors penalized their citizens to death for wearing purple garments"

Speaking of the Romans, Shakespeare wrote "Purple the sails, and so perfumed, that the winds were love-sick with them,” Cleopatra is said to have greeted Marc Antony on a boat with perfumed sails after the assassination of Julius Caesar and became the queen of Egypt.

On a lighter note, the colour purple is also known as "The colour of Magic" according to writer Terry Pratchett.

All that from the colour and the name of a fragrance, but where am I going with it?

Well, only recently have I began my journey in to the world of Oud and Rose fragrances, which come across as very luxurious to me. This royal purple dressed fragrance is definitely one of luxury, I could definitely imagine Roman Emperors wearing if it was around during those times, they did have something similar though. It is a perfume very powerful men such as Julius Caesar himself could have worn to impress his love, the fore mentioned Cleopatra or vice versa being that this is unisex and would have been perfectly acceptable for either to wear during Roman times also, which I will get to. Even now in 2023 I see a confident man easily pulling this off, smelling of the beautiful roses that were often a part of Roman culture. They would wear wreaths during feasts but not only that, both men and women would wear sweet rose petal scented perfumes which were made by soaking the petals in olive oil. Another use that the Romans had for rose petals other than fragrances and wreaths were said to actually be love potions along with scented puddings and medicine. I wonder if the love potions were the colour of magic?
The sillage definitely comes across as if it were coated on purple sails with the power of the wind behind them in which it leaves a beautiful trail that for anyone to cross its wake would be caught in the love sick spell from this magical scent, after all, purple is the colour of magic. This love potion would entrance them with the luxurious smell of beautiful Oud, Bulgarian Rose among other florals with a slightly spicy touch to it, and of course it would be a sin not to mention the gorgeous fruits all perfectly blended together. It has a slight sweetness to it, but nothing overpowering.

Soprano would have been a great choice of fragrance to soak the purple sails in, as it also has great longevity that would have easily lasted the journey from Europe all the way to the hot temperatures of Egypt, as this can easily be worn in both cold and hot weather. On skin alone you can easily smell this all the way in to the following day, and if you get it on clothes, purple or not it will be with you even longer lasting days, so if you end up in an odd time or place where wearing purple could have your death warrant signed at least you will be smelling good for days afterwards, but let's just hope it doesn't come to that lol. I dare say if Soprano had been applied to the purple sails Cleopatra would have been well aware of the arrival of Mark Anton days in advance with the wind carrying its scent with the powerful sillage behind it.

I am a 42 year old man and I have worn this during garden parties for birthdays, I have worn it just for casual days and I have often wondered what I would choose to wear on the day of my wedding if were to ever have one, and I would happily pick this as one of my top contenders.

I think this is a beautiful scent and if you can wear other Oud Rose fragrances as a man I am sure you would be happy to wear this one also. There are always the discovery kits that Xerjoff provides, where you can pick four of your own choice and both times I have ordered from Xerjoff it has come with the speed of Purple perfumed sails with the huge performance that Soprano boasts powering the winds behind them, all the way from Italy to the UK in the matter of a day or two. That was the case for both a singular discovery kit and the purchase of the bottle of Soprano.

What I like about Xerjoff is that each time you place an order for a bottle, they give you a free discovery kit with it, allowing you to pick out another 4 to sample for free. So if you order directly from them, always remember to fill out your discovery kit.

Fruit explosion

Lychee and fruit clearly in the foreground in the top note.
If I had to categorize it, I would say that it belongs in the fruity category with Xerjoff, Coro and Purple Accento.
Unlike its colleagues, it becomes woody and warm in the drydown - I personally notice very little of the oud. Which in retrospect is very good for the fragrance.

P/L is right - H/L really strong.
