Purple Diamond

Let me just start by saying that there is no balsamic vinegar in this scent. It's not mentioned by the brand as one of the notes, and the scent certainly doesn't smell vinegary. Purple Diamond is a fresh green, tropical fruity scent with soft nuances of flowers and a smooth, slightly creamy balsamic and musky base that gives the fragrance some depth and substance. It's not particularly sweet, it's more on the slightly tart and vaguely bitter side, but the tartness and bitterness feels very balanced and natural - like it comes from the fruits and green foliage of the fruit trees. After around an hour on the skin most of the tartness disappears, and leaves room for a lovely creamy passionfruit. The scent feels predominately cool, although the base has a soft warmth to it. And I would say that the fragrance has a somewhat suave and aloof aura, which is very unusual for a tropical fresh scent. It feels very unisex, leaning a little to the masculine side. I could easily picture a guy wearing this with a professional looking grey suit, to work. I could also see a woman wearing this in a more casual setting. Purple Diamond is a versatile scent. Sillage is a soft medium and longevity is over 7 hours on my skin.
