Silences Purple

I've never smelled Dior Addict (EDITED: I have since smelled it, and yes, Silences Purple is very similar), and had never smelled Silences Purple, but this has got to be one of the best kept perfume secrets in the world. You can find huge bottles of the EDP on the internet for $15 or less at several websites. (I now know it would be a bargain even at four times that price.) I decided I could risk purchasing unsniffed due to the low cost. It wasn't love at first sniff. It was a polite, cautious like at best. I don't usually wear scents that smell like this one. It initially smelled too sharp and green, even a bit medicinal. However, I did notice that the scent evolves quite a bit during wear. It got much softer and sweeter over time, and boy, does it linger! I could smell the last faint traces almost 12 hours later. By the third wearing, I was ready to pledge my love. Such a quality fragrance for a great price! Sharp citrus notes yield to soft and feminine florals, not unlike Prada Infusion d'Iris or Barbara Bui. The dry-down reminds me of vanilla incense,sweet but slightly smoky. The slightly masculine grassy notes of vetiver emerge a good ten hours after application. Love the big purple "hockey puck" bottle, too. Very pretty color and so satisfying to hold and spray. Try a bottle and take some time to get to know it!

I have only briefly smelled Dior Addict years ago, but same as with all Dior's Poisons - they never hooked me enough, so I never had an idea to buy a FB. Now Jacomo Purple Silences, which shares with original Silences only bottle design/shape - is something that wow-ed me and I endlessly happy to wear it and to own it. It has typical Jacomo's creativity and spicy-depth from lemony-velvet start to finish, - very comforting - qualities of tiare, freesia and frangipani - creamy, feminine, relaxing, enveloped in tonka bean, which borders with oriental gourmand really, but never drops enough to become a "gourmy-scent" due to strong vetiver with tart amber mainly in base - sophisticated and "different" from current mainstream fragrance. Hidden gem.

Beeeuuuutiful!!! Everything is gorgeous about Silences Purple, even to the totally divine bottle....and ravishing colour!!!! It's a gorgeous floral perfume!!! Beautiful delicate yet strong white flowers, and a gorgeous sweet voluptuousness in the heart and dry-down, with the loveliest dry musty bitter smoky vetiver, and sweet milky sandalwood, and delicious smooth, slightly vanilla/almond smell of the tonka beans, and the patchouli!!! .....mmmmm....perfection!!! Very feminine and glamorous. I get compliments, compliments, and more compliments every time I wear it!!! It's a wonderful glorious perfume....perfect......absolutely gorgeous!!!!

Silences Purple - OK so this is not Dior Addict per say but it is a real darn close image of it. In my search for a replacement of Dior Addict(original formulation) I stumbled upon the review of this fragrance. I decided to take the plunge in part because of the great reviews and also because of the notes. This fragrance has wonderful projection and the scent is spot on. It starts of citrus, moves to sweet, then a vanilla amber with nice spicy and woody notes. Very beautiful indeed with lasting longevity.

I just received this and I bought it without smelling it first but that's okay because all of you were right it smells just like Dior Addict which I LOVE LOVE LOVE! I was skeptical at first but for such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. To me both Silences Purple and Dior Addict smell like vanilla, marshmallows and an undertone of jasmine incense. The white flowers in the middle really marry the fragipani on the top with the tonka bean in the base. Delicious! I will buy again!
