The Color Purple
I have been privileged enough to be able to visit many great museums and look at the masters of paint and sculptures. My favorite though, is the Van Gogh Museum. It has many of the factors that make you feel like you just saw into the soul of love and the vision of two men who walked thru this world together, with one woman bringing that beauty to the world when both men had passed with little note of importance at the time.
So, you name your perfume after a man who was strange, mercurial and driven to insanity but still saw beauty in all around him? A man who learned to set the mood with vivid color? Bold yet refined? A mix of styles that seems disjointed, but actually comes together in an otherworldly way that makes one stop and realize they have yet to see anything like it? Achieved.
When people speak about a perfume being a color, I had not had the opportunity to experience that till this fragrance. This fragrance is the essence purple with a touch of citrus. It has the bold strokes of strong notes holding the more muted ones together, and it feels like I have not smelled anything like it before. It is beautiful yet strange to my nose, as if from another era or time. I love that it paints a landscape in my mind that does not exist anywhere else. A great introduction to this perfume house and a beautiful ode to Van Gogh.
