Purple Reign

Q80 your review makes perfect sense to me. The storied elements that come through with these wholly natural aromas are deeply touching. It's strange but perhaps not so strange that nature has a way of being dirty and exultant at the same time. I wore purple reign and actually "got" the scent through some kind of spiritual epiphany. Who knew? I suspect Tanja knows!

Bitter, musty, sweet, powdery, then nothing all in under five minutes.

This scent is very, very weak. It is pretty but it is gone in 5 minutes after you spray it on, thank goodness I only got a sample and didn't waste my money on a full bottle. I sampled quite a few from this house wanting to like them but they do not project and do not last. Also this houses fragrances to me do not smell sophisticated, they smell like a yoga studio or very hippie dippie. I've been really into trying natural houses during COVID and this house just was a huge let down.

Wow! The first half hour Purple Reign smells closely to Kerbside Violet to me...gradually they start to go in different directions, but I was surprised at first blast. I really was hoping for more of a sultry, warm fragrance with more opoponax and all of those purple flowers...but it's just to much green violet leaf and iris, as much as I love it, but here it's like getting hit in the face with a snow ball. I think the whole composition could have used more of the white florals to warm it up, and I would have liked to seen more lilac in there as well. Overall it's not bad, just cold as ice. I expected more development...

This reminds me of Spring. You know, the dirty smell of Spring when it's still quite cold and wet. It is somehow a sad scent. Depressive, even. This smells like wet dust or dirt to me, then very metallic. The violet leaf and/or orris root is so dominating it's disturbing. What I do like about this scent is the fact that it's all natural and seems to be well composed. 5+/10
