Pure Purple

I took a chance and bought this perfume before I tested it. (There was no tester and I got it for a good deal that I couldn't pass up.) I am a HUGE fan of Deep Red and I liked the color and shape of this bottle by the same company so I gave it a try. The middle notes are very similar to Deep Red and have the same flair, however, it just doesn't pack the same punch. I am disappointed in the strength. Light fragrances don't last well on me and this is definitely a light, powdery scent. It is supposed to floral fruity but I sense more of the florals than the fruits and I'm definitely a fruity vanilla kind of woman. I'm getting a big whiff of something similar to vanilla which is almost overpowering the nectarine and leather smell (must be the sugary marzipan.) The leather is also like a woman's purse in a department store and not rustic like a saddle. I don't hate it, but it is a little too light for me and very flowery. I was hoping for more of the nectarine to kick in. This is just my initial impression. I may come back later to tell how it is doing in a few hours.

Pure Purple bottle colour most certainly does not reflect the overall feel of the fragrance. The purple colour suggests a promise of a mysterious fragrance that would take us to a bedroom filled with candle lights and rose petals but it is not so with Pure Purple. The fragrance is playful, uplifting and yes, the marzipan note is rather dominant; sugared almonds with a hint of cyclamen without being sticky or cloying. Even though Pure Purple didn't turn out to be sensual, I rate it highly as it possesses the most natural smelling marzipan note. I am unable to smell the base notes, so amber and leather lovers may be disappointed. Pure Purple stays close to the skin but lingers for good 5 hours. Loveable. Great for gourmand lovers.

Very nice, non-offensive perfume. Quite delicate actually. Starts out flowery on me, with just a tiny bit of nectarine. Smells more like lemon to me then nactarine actually but whatver, it's quite pleasant. The marzipan comes in after about 5 minutes, it's not a cloying or heavy scent though. The perfume always stays flowery on me instead of turning into a supersweet gourmand scent. Stayingpower of this one is just alright, it lasts about 5 hours on me but hey, it an EdT. I didn't expect miracles from it. :) Bottle is remeniscent of Lancome Hypnose, but the cap of Pure purple closes better then Hypnose's.

A blind buy based on my love of Hugo Boss perfumes, I initially liked this one but didn't love it. Months later, I must come back and tell you that I've fallen in love with this scent head-over-heals. The more I smell it, the more I love it. It is unusual in a very sexy way. I love the leather note to it mixed with with the unique marzipan note which enhances the floral with a sophisticated sweetness that is soft and feminine. As I said in my previous review of this one, that I prefer deeper, richer scents but this one is way too good to pass off just because it doesn't fit my usual scent profile.

Marzipan with a floral/powderiness. It's sweet and feminine. It becomes more creamy within the first few hours. Towards the end(7+ hours on me)it's a yummy vanilla that is very close the skin. Sweet, innocent, lovely, girly, pretty. When I saw the bottle I thought it would be a floral fragrance, I wouldn't imagine a marzipan/powdery perfume in a purple bottle... then I smelled it and I actually think the color suits the perfume somehow. Maybe because I think it's such a cute and pretty fragrance, and the purple is cute and pretty.
