Sinner (2017)

I really like this one. I wasn't expecting much because I picked it up at TJ Maxx on a whim but I was pleasantly impressed. Haters can stay hating. For something so ~pedestrian~ to most frag nerds, I thought it was actually quite complex and nice. But I’m a basic when it comes to perfumes, so perhaps that should be the caveat here. There's a goth sexiness that reminds me a bit of Anna Sui, a bit Tom Ford Black Orchid. I loved Anna Sui Dreams in high school when CDs were a thing. That scent reminds me of Tool, my steel toe Doc Martens, Djarum browns, and Tori Amos. I’m normally not a vanilla fan, but the way the vanilla blends with the patchouli-plum combo is f*cking divine. It’s equal parts sweet, sexy and serious. This would be a fine office scent, which is apparently a bad thing to some people. No, this scent won’t challenge you in the way that Frederic Malle or Etat Libre can and no there aren’t any crazy animalics so, no, Sinner won’t be including notes of urine, feces or semen. It’s just a really nice, albeit safe oriental. If patchouli scares you, I wouldn’t be afraid of this. Sinner is patchouli for beginners. If you begin to feel you’re veering off path and might end up in a weird sex cult in Marin County, I’d just huff your wrist deeper and be guided back to safety with the vanilla, plum and orange blossom. The dry down does give way to a more gentler floral sweet powder but it has so much going on that it does leave you a little stumped. There is quite a bit if mystery in how this was formulated. The orange blossom seems to hide a bit under some other note, I don’t know what, but it’s still really gorgeous. This gives you decent silage for the first hour or so. It softens into a skin scent that sticks around for several hours, so it's not completely forgettable like others allege. If you spray it on your clothes you will get even longer longevity and great silage. Not sure what pH witchery is going on with the chemistry, but it works really really well on my skin. And yes, the bottle is beautiful and unique. For collectors alone, I think it’s worth the purchase. I got 1.0 oz at TJ Maxx for 12.99.

Attention Gourmand lovers... Kat Von D's SINNER is A to the May to the Zing, Baby!!! Think of any "Noir" fragrance. What comes to mind typically is evening, adult, maybe sensual and/or sexy. Noir fragrances tend to be like a fragrant dry (<-key word, dry) red wine giving off a bit cool and a bit smokey incense vibes. SINNER is all that and oozes dark berry juicy gothic sweetness. I have a thing for Metal Flower by Harmonist, and Noir Noir by Tom Ford, but as amazing as those are, they are not juicy sweet. They are delicious, but not sweet.. As a gourmand lover, THIS IS IT! Winner, winner, chicken dinner! (^◡^ )/ Its all of my fave Noirs, but with that yummy sweet wet juicy edible dark berry medley. This isn't another generic mass produced "celebrity fragrance" either. Or another stuck up niche dry red. No. KvD SINNER is wickedly sexy! Its a FUN, sexy, Vampiress flirting with a hot devil. She has to die for voluminous long hair, luscious lips, a bewitching smile, and hypnotic eyes with a sinfully voluptuous body; she has the mortals around her mesmerized. She laughs at the jealousy from the other Noirs. Because although they are beautiful in their own rights, they aren't free to be fun. SINNER is a total love for me. SAINT is a Must for any gourmandies. ( ◠‿◠)っ♡ SAINT + SINNER = Immort Love ... On that note, it is with a heavy heart that it appears she was merely a demi-vampiress, as she has been discontinued. Hence, was mortal after all. Just my luck, ugh! As with my love affair with: Alexander McQueen's Kingdom, and L’oreal Infallible Lipcolour Stars Collection Beyoncé Red, it too must come to an end. Or few and far in between clandestine visits.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways! Sinner by Kat Von D has been my signature scent since 2010 and it is still my favorite perfume to this day. If there was ever a scent that felt absolutely like me, this is it! Sinner is one of the sexiest, most mysterious scents I've encountered. It has an air of dark, sophisticated class to it. The notes are beautifully blended. To me, it smells like autumn in a bottle! The harmony of the patchouli, plum and vanilla is what stands out the most, topped off with the most delicious spicy cinnamon. The cinnamon can almost be mistaken for chili or pink pepper, and I get a hint of something more than the notes mentioned, maybe sandalwood, licorice or leather. There is something else about it that is so mysterious and I can't quite place it, but that's what I love about it! It is such a cozy, warm spicy scent that changes your mood. It makes me want to put on that little black dress, pour a glass of wine and put on that moody playlist. My holy grail date night scent! My boyfriend adores it (he loves all of Kat Von D's fragrances on me) and he can always recognize it when I wear it. The sillage and longevity of the new formulation, compared to the original, is a TAD softer, but the difference is minuscule. Moderate for both formulations. For anyone who enjoys warm spicy scents, or scents that are not too floral or sweet but still feminine, this is a MUST try! I would almost call it a safe blind buy, I think it's that good!

I bought a (second-hand) 100ml bottle in last april, and today is the first day I’m wearing it since its a bit chilly outside, so I thought it would be the perfect time to put on this beautiful fragrance. Its literally a running joke among my friends that every time I really love something, it gets discontinued (favorite plate at a restaurant, favorite beauty product, perfume, favorite everything 😅). So lucky that I am, Sinner got discontinued a couple of months ago... I didn’t know & end up missing all the clearance sales at Sephora & KVD website. So I found this girl selling a big bottle for $$$ and I couldn’t pass. Now I own a discontinued 100ml and will use it VERY sparingly. The bottle is a-m-a-z-i-n-g (so far the most beautiful bottle that Ive own)! The scent is BOLD & dominant! The kind of perfume I wanna wear in fall, for an evening night out wearing all black, leather, big bold makeup, dark red lipstick & nails! This perfume screams « hey i’m here look at me » 🔥🍂 I’m not a big fan of patchouli or fruitchouli fragrances (usually), but this one is PERFECT. Its spicy, edgy & sweet! It’s mysterious! It’s a boss fragrance, it’s confidence in a bottle 💥 It’s dark & sexy!! And as I’m writing this review, I realize that a really like plum, since i’ve had Moonlight by Ariana and both share that sweet plummy note that I really like 🫐

I love Sinner. When they had the whole push to see if you were a Saint or Sinner last year when the fragrances were released, I immediately fell in love with Sinner. It’s rich body really speaks to me. The plum really stands out to me in Sinner along with the patchouli, vanilla, and wood notes. Sinner is a bomb with layer upon layer of explosion from the beginning. When you think it has over worn its welcome it changes up a bit and you get whole different composition on your skin. The creamy plum mixed with a touch of citrus is probably my favorite part of Sinner. It isn’t overly fruity, and I get no floral notes whatsoever, which is okay for me because I think if I did smell them I wouldn’t be as huge a fan of Sinner. It is bright and fresh with a boatload of mystery and sensuality thrown in for seriously good measure. I, personally, would wear this day or night and year round, but I can see how some would rather steer clear of this scent during the hot months or the daytime as it is a heavier fragrance. This wears really well on me. I get between 5 to 7 hours of wear time but need to reapply more often if I want the brighter notes to stay in play.

This is my second review as I realised that I slowly fell in love with this perfume. I think I was skeptical about it at first because fragrances that come in beautiful bottles are usually pretty mediocre, and that's what my brain registered Sinner as on the first encounter. I didn't even notice when I started to wear it every day. I got a small travel size bottle of Sinner when I bought my full size of Saint and a month later it was gone, without me ever noticing! That's when I realised I don't want to wear anything else and simply had to buy a full size bottle. The dark sweetness of it is incredible and simply "works" with my skin. I am no expert at identifying notes but there is definitely a beautiful dark musk in there, along with lots of jasmine, sweet dark plum, patchouli and cinnamon. It's like a much sweeter, richer version of Jasmin Noir, which I also love. It sits rather close to skin but has plenty enough sillage to be noticed. Two sprays last all day on me, but then again, I have oily skin so everything does :) Long story short, perfect fragrance in a perfect bottle!

THIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL DUPE FOR MIDNIGHT POISION (ELIXIR). omg i can finally rest in peace LOL. my all time fav scent is Midnight poison which has been disrespectfully discontinued. But Dior can kiss my *** now , because ive got SINNER! this smells soooooo identical to the MP elixir, that im willing to bet Kat Von d bought diors last remnant drops of their midnight poisons and revamped it with her name and new goth bottles. it smells THAT CLOSE to diors MP (elixir). the Elixir smelled like MP (EDP) but with added sweetness like caramel/amber etc, and its all here in sinner too. WOW! and how come no one is mentioning this? are the Midnight Poison lovers that scarce? i love kat, and ive been a fan for over 10yrs now, and for it to be my fav goth girl to come out with a scent identical to my fav fragrance in the world is sooo amazing! ***hyperventilating**. did her 2009 version of sinner smell like this one? i never got a chance to sniff that one. im going to stock up on sinner incase Kat looses her damn mind and discontinues it too.

I see that there are mixed reviews on this one, and I suppose I can see why. There was a lot of hype upon the relaunch of this fragrance, and the newly designed bottle by Kat herself piqued my interest. I have to preface my thoughts on Sinner with the fact that I usually really dislike scents with a heavy patchouli note in them.Lately, i've been delving into the world of scents with patchouli in them and I have to say that i'm definitely coming around by adding a few to my collection. I absolutely love the patchouli note in this perfume, it just pairs so nicely with the spicy cinnamon and sweet plum. This scent really makes me thinkg of a lolita goth girl, looking super cute with long black hair in a frilly black lace doll dress with mary janes on. I love the depth this has especially in cold weather, and it is so warm and cozy. I recommend this to the person who loves rich and spicy scents. I can see this layering with lighter fragrances so nicely, it's worth a sniff at least.

About a year ago I picked up the 2017 Saint and Sinner due to an insanely good deal at a discount retailer. First, I opened the Saint. Sigh. Not for me at all (more on that later). But the Sinner? It's gorgeous. It's plum, vanilla, incense (not listed), musk, patchouli, cinnamon, and vetiver in that order. The the white florals don't stand out, at least not individually. And I agree it smells both like Narciso Rodriguez for her (black bottle) and Dior Midnight Poison. It also shares DNA with Black Opium but it is definitely a much lighter, fruitier version. And also, my nose detects the lightest, pale pink rose or even a tea rose, though it's not listed. After skimming through the reviews here I learned that Sinner and Saint are supposed to be layered. Well, I'll be trying that tonight in the hope of success. The Saint's sickly sweet, sharp stab is misnamed. It'll take her dark sister to tame her, perhaps.

It's hard for me to describe this one. I first found it online before it was (sadly) discontinued after searching for something like "dark sultry perfume." Google didn't steer me wrong here. It's a spicy, amber floral. This is my idea of something very primal and very sexy. I get a tingly white floral with patchouli and a hint of vanilla, and a wet earth scent on the skin when it dries. It would be great for night time occasions, but since I don't have any to go to, I wear this whenever I'm feeling a dark vibe but dont want sweetness or "stripper" vibes. As a migraine sufferer this does not trigger headaches, and in fact I go for it when I think sweeter scents will bother me too much. This scent drives my husband wild, too, so I have to be judicious about wearing it ;)

Recently went shopping with my wife and we stopped in at Sephora. This was the only fragrance she tried on, mainly went for some makeup. At first, we both agreed that the opening was nice but average. It wasn't until 30 minutes later when we'd been walking down the street, me behind her that this really stood out for me. The very next day i had to buy it for her. Only one spray on her hand and the scent drove me wild! It is hands down the best fragrance I've ever smelt on my wife. Very sexy and strong while still being very feminine. A must for any woman with tattoos! Night time, fall and winter... Would probably suit most seasons. Projection was great and performance even better, could smell the one spray for 3-4 hours so normal application could last 8 hours..

I have an older bottle of this. The scent is so strong that one spritz lingers on clothes for days, and about 8 hours on skin. I am using it only in winter-time, and it's not a daytime perfume at all, in my opinion. I happen to love most patchouli-heavy scents, I like combination of cinnamon, plum and orange blossom with a hint of white flowers in the background - so all the notes here are mixed beautifully and make a very unique "dark and witchy" scent. I did want to buy a back-up bottle, I saw them cheap in TJMaxx a year or so ago, tested it and was surprised how different it smelled - initial sharp alcohol blast with some perfume-y lightly floral and musky scent, couldn't sense any "darker" notes...It may have been reformulated before being discontinued?

This is going to sound very weird, but does anyone else get a sort of spicy bubblegum from this? Pop a Juicy Fruit and a Big Red in your mouth at the same time, you'll get this. I LOVE it! Sinner is feminine and strong. It's dominant but sweet. It's spicy! Yes it is spicy as it is sweet. I sprayed this on myself and it was still on my clothes the following day. The sillage is amazing as well. This is my new favorite and it definitely gives me confidence. Needless to say I am very sad about this being discontinued! This is a "Boss B!+çh" fragrance. This is for a woman who knows her worth, dresses as sexy as she wants and takes nobody's $h!t.

I must admit, when I first purchased Saint and Sinner purse sprays, I was delighted with Saint and disappointed with Sinner. I thought Sinner smelled too strongly of patchouli for my liking. In the name if fairness I gave it a few tries, and now I can plainly smell the florals, luscious fruits, and hint of spice. In my opinion, Kat Von D really hit the mark with the whole Saint/Sinner concept (a concept I adore). Sinner actually does smell like a "dark/naughty" version of Saint, and vice versa. Both fragrances are very wearable. While I enjoy Saint more than Sinner, I'll still rate Sinner 8.5/10.

My all-time favorite. This scent embodies everything I love in a perfume: it's dark, mysterious, and sensual without being overbearing, strippery, or overly feminine. The patchouli and plum give this fragrance a velvety and dreamy feel, and the vanilla and plum give it just a hint of sweet and intoxicating fruitiness. On the dry down, the cinnamon kicks in to give this a tingly spiciness. Overall, seductive, sultry goodness.. It lasts a long time on clothes, but not as long on the skin. I've had my bottle since 2022, and I cherish it to this day. I'm dreading the day it runs out.

Wow, this is one of my favorites at the moment. I bought it at tjmaxx for a little over 10$, figuring that even if I didn't like the scent, the bottle was gorgeous. But surprise- the actual perfume is too. I don't get a ton of the floral notes on my skin- it's a warm, vanilla plum with a heavy dose of patchouli and spice, sensual and a little sweet. I was shocked by how much I loved it, actually. Only complaint I have is that I wish it lasted longer- I only get a couple good hours on my skin until it fades into something faint. For the price I paid, though, totally worth it.

Amaizing sweet creamy ,ultra smooth musky floral , I adore this one and so does my husband. It reminds me of the original black tall Narciso and my husband says it reminds him of poison from the 80 s but more modernized without the spice. Funny enough it shares all the same notes except poison has some more added. The plum,vanilla musk and cinnamon with the patchouli are a dream to me and indeed very much like poison or Narciso Edt. It's sensual , sexy and was an instant like for me. Love the smoothness and warmth of this scent. Devine !!! Top shelf !

Came across a bottle at the thrift, bought it immediately. I had only ever smelled this when I was working in at ulta in typically 2017 fashion, and it took me right back to the store fragrance isles. Very well compositioned, opens with a bright vivid white floral bash and smoky, earthy, powdery dry down. The patchouli Is sweetened by the jasmine ,vanilla ,and orange notes, and I don’t find it that overwhelming. I don’t know if they still make this but if u can get it for a good price id give it a shot. It definitely pulls its weight in my collection

So I bought this back in the summer and the first few applications, it was very weak and I could hardly detect anything. I pulled it back out since the weather has gotten cool and it works so much better for me now! It is a sexier, dark, almost gothic scent. I really get the patchouli note and there's a hint of sweetness. I actually ended up buying another bottle because my husband loved it on our date and he could smell it hours after I applied it so sillage is pretty decent! It is moderately lasting (I do have drier skin), around 3-4 hours.

Dark, plummy, sweet, earthy, and spicy — everything I love in a perfume. The sillage and longevity are moderate on me. It’s an inexpensive stunner of a perfume. I get to fall in love with it all over again if I need to reapply. I’m going to try my hardest to use this perfume sparingly since it’s discontinued, but goodness, it is so sexy and one of my all-time favorites. It just has so many notes I’m obsessed with and they blend together like a dream.

I love the opening more than the dry-down. It is usually the reverse with me and fragrance. This is not as dark and sultry-smelling as the bottle suggests. Inky and fruity up top then super floral. Maybe the ink note comes from a combo of cinnamon, plum, and Vetiver. I would want to store this next to Givenchy Interdit or YSL Black Opium, but it really belongs with SJP Lovely. I don’t get any patchouli, sadly which I was hoping would add some grit.

this is one of my favorite fall/winer scents. I blind bought this years ago because Kat fan and pretty bottle 🤪 It's so unique I'd keep the bottle even if the smell made me vomit but the scent is so nice. This scent is sweet and spicy and I love the opening plum note. It doesn't last long but that might be because my bottles are old idk how fragrance aging works. Anyway

Came across this one today on clearance at TJMaxx. Couldn’t resist, especially after seeing on YouTube how pretty the bottle is... Bought it. Brought home. Sprayed. It drove me crazy for a while trying to figure out what it reminds me of. Until looked up on Fragrantica and saw many said Narciso Rodriguez For Her. I think it’s an exact dupe! Love it!

This fragrance is intoxicating! It's in my top 3 from my wives collection. We don't have the projection or longevity issues that others seem to have. This has great performance on my wife. She will spray it on even before we go grocery shopping because she knows I can't keep my hands off her. Sexy, classy and elegant... YT: AussieFragrance

The bottle is so pretty, and yes, the scent is dark and sexy, although not extremely so. It's a big favorite of mine - feminine, warm, and mature, the most prominent notes are plum and patchouli. It's also more of a fall and winter scent, for sure. I'm very sad I can't find it at Sephora anymore though :(

I purchased this after smelling it when it was still in stores at Sephora. I have kept this scent around not only because the scent is really nice to smell but the bottle is very nice to have on my vanity. Regardless, I am very drawn to this scent and find myself smelling it every time I walk past it.

very amazing, sexy, dark, succulent fragrance, my only issue is that it seemed to spoil very fast? i had this perfume for two years, and i went back to smell it and it had turned sour smelling, not anything like before. other than that it was a great scent. lasted all day with many compliments

This reminds me, startlingly, of Narciso Rodriguez For Her edp. It's slightly sweeter, and definitely weaker, but very similar to my nose. Frankly, it's gorgeous to me. I will definitely be purchasing this one! (I don't like the Saint one at all, but that's no surprise, lol).

I had this perfume and the candle with the same scent and I loved them both. It smells like you entered a witch’s mystical cabin where she’s brewing a concoction of cinnamon, vanilla, patchouli and hints of orange blossoms. I wish I could find this scent again.

I recently found a very old 10ml vial of it. To me, it smells EXACTLY like Euphoria by Calvin Klein. Literally no difference. I love it. Edit: There is slightly more vanilla to this than Euphoria. Upon smellling again, it truly reminds me of Armani Si

I can’t really explain the emotion this fragrance evokes for me. My sister said it reminds her of 2008. Personally it reminds me of a cold spring day when the sun is finally coming out after winter. I’m itching to try Saint.

this was the first perfume I really liked! I find it super comforting & it's one of those scents that just makes me happy when I smell it. I'm so sad that it's getting discontinued! smells beautiful & super nostalgic for me

As a patchouli lover who prefers it paired with something a little sweeter, this one is perfection. She’s a lovely white floral with dark, fruity sensibilities and an edge. Makes me feel so sexy

OHHH MYYYY GOODNESSSS!!!:):):) SO HAPPY THEY RELAUNCHED THEM! AND LOOK AT THESE BOTTLES, THEY ARE MUST HAVES, MUCH BETTER THAN THE LAST ONES. WHAT A GREAT YEAR FOR FRAGRANCE!!!

I'm wearing this now, and it is an absolutely beautiful, warm scent with vanilla and a hint of floral sweetness going on. Will definitely be buying the full size bottle.

patchouli, neroli, plum and musk with a touch of vanilla but not a vanillic fragrance; deep, dark and sexy

This reminds me of my all time favorite, lazy sunday morning, but with a little vanilla.

I like Sinner far more than Saint, though I think Saint is the more crowd pleasing scent of the two. There is something about Sinner that reminds me of my youth (90's), but I haven't been able to place what it is. I can smell the similarity to Narciso Rodriguez for her, especially if you dial down the musk and add a whopping does of plum. The opening of Sinner is mostly plum with a bit of orange to brighten it up. After that the scent is pretty linear. It is a spiced plum and patchouli fragrance. Other than the plum, cinnamon and patchouli, I can't really discern any of the other notes. This isn't a particularly youthful fragrance. There is something pretty mature about it, but not old fashoined or dated, more sexy older woman. It is dark, sexy and sultry and even a little intimidating. I think it was intended to appeal to the goth scene. Everything about this fragrance fits that vibe from the scent, to the name, to the packaging. Speaking of packaging, the bottle is darkly beautiful. It has black gothic filigree surrounding the smoky glass bottle and looks like it contains a mysterious potion. The atomizer is top notch. I has a prolonged fine mist that makes it easy to get a full application with just a couple sprays. Which is all you need, because this stuff is potent. The performance is excellent. It lasts all day, 8-10 hours and projects quite well, beyond arms length for a lot of that time. I only wear this fragrance in cooler weather. I don't trust the patchouli not to turn skanky in the heat. Wearing it in mild to cold weather, the patchouli stays earthy, but thankfully not as far as dirty.

I had read that Sinner was being relaunched and since I tend to wear spicier scents especially with notes of sandalwood and patchouli, I decided to test it when I came across it at my local Sephora. I was instantly disappointed upon the initial spray. The sweetness and fruitiness hit me like a brick wall and triggered my allergies. I left the store and couldn't wait to wash this off but I had errands to run so I'd have to wait. The initial notes lingered while I was driving and they were annoyingly sweet and cloying. Too fruity. Too much sticky sweet plum. I honestly couldn't detect the orange too much as it was a bit underwhelmed and although I liked the vanilla it was a lot.. Honestly this scent smelled kind of cheap at first. An imitation of something I'd smelled long ago. It smelled too much like Dior Poison and brought me back to my '80's days. But fast forward two to seven hours later and now I couldn't stop smelling my arm. I could now smell the woods and the vetiver and how I love vetiver. I got a whiff of spicy cinnamon and the vanilla was now softer and not as sweet but oh baby the patchouli. It finally arrived and it was wonderful. The scent learned it's lesson a few hours after the initial eye-tearing sweet squirt. It was now subtle and sexy. Mysterious and intoxicating. I found the dry down personally fabulous on my skin and it lasted for several hours. Very satisfying and delicious in the end.

I had high hopes for this fragrance. I really like patchouli in blends and the spicy/warm element is usually good too. Sadly in Sinner the combination is only.....meh. It's an okay fragrance. I don't hate it and it definitely isn't a 'scrubber' but it also doesn't thrill me. The patchouli isn't super strong, in fact I believe the deeper herbal quality is mostly from the vetiver. And that's fine but....meh. Perhaps I am jaded when it comes to dark, edgy fragrances but this one really isn't. It doesn't challenge me in any way, it isn't particularly sensuous, and I would feel completely comfortable wearing this to work. In fact, I am at work wearing this and its.....okay. It bounces aback and forth between spicy/earthy and vanilla/white floral. I've been wearing it for about 3 hours and it has already faded considerably. It is a little bit stronger than a skin scent at this point and I will undoubtedly need to reapply within the next hour or two or it will disappear completely. I bought the smaller spray bottle to try it out but since it's just okay, I won't be going for the gorgeous full size bottle. This is the type of scent I would consider purchasing at the $20-25 range but for the price they are asking for it, I expect a much better performance and need it to be full on love not just....meh.

When I first saw this at Sephora, I was intrigued, but didn't like the heavy spiced opening notes when I put my nose to the tester or sprayed it on a tester strip. I thought for sure it just wasn't for me. Fast forward a couple of months and I tried it again, deciding that I should give it a chance on my skin to see if it worked with my chemistry. I thought it was a long shot, but I was not disappointed! The first notes are spicy, earthy, vanilla, with hints of floral and fruit. The dry down becomes less floral/fruit and more earthy-spicy-musky. Overall, I enjoy the fragrance as it progresses. I just wish the full complement of fragrance notes lasted longer than 3 to 4 hours. I have tried it also over unscented lotion, but longevity is still an issue. CK Obsession and Shalimar EDT and EDP outperform Sinner in longevity for me. Since it has a shorter duration, I find myself wearing Sinner when I go out for shorter evening events, and not for all day (i.e. office) settings. This has become one of my favorite fall/winter fragrances for a night out and it will be a Fall/Winter staple of mine.

When I was gifted Saint, I was also gifted Sinner. I like the theme, and I like that they're distinct from one another. My first thought when I put this to my nose was that it smelled like Poison by Dior. Years later, I got to smell it again, and my knee-jerk reaction hasn't shifted. It's definitely the plum doing that, now that I've finally seen the notes. I think I like plum, but if you have one plum perfume, you don't need two, and between this and Poison, I'm going for my old faithful that I know lasts forever on my skin. This one hits the three-hour mark before becoming intimate (lasting longer than her sister, Saint). I hope this lasts longer on someone else. She is lovely. She's mature, demure, and sultry.

Feels like an entry-level scent for dark, warm vanillas. It gets the job done and it's nice enough, but it's lacking sophistication, nuance, and artistry to be anything more than pedestrian. It's solid and will do ya, but it's nothing special. For what it's worth, I'm a patchouli agnostic and I don't think the patchouli is too strong in this. It seems generally balanced and has good projection and decent performance. I believe this fragrance is discontinued; I don't think it's worth it to spend ton of money getting a bottle in a seller's market. I think you can find something similar at a much better price point because I'm sure there are lots of other scents trying to accomplish the same thing. 7.5/10.

Bought this as a second-hand perfume for very good price. The previous owner claimed to use only 4-5 sprays and when I smell it, I understand why. Eventhough the presentation screams "dark" and "gothic", however the scent itself is a disappointment. Opens with sweet berry scent then turns into typical powdery white floral scent. No spice, no incense, nothing is "dark" or "gothic" here (except the box and the bottle). It's actually a nice evening scent but that's all, nothing special. I shouldn't have expected something edgy from celebrity fragrance. Anyway, the bottle alone is worth to keep. It looks amazing on the Horror section of my bookself.

I was not expecting to like this fragrance as much as I am. It's lovely with classic notes of citrus and orange blossom at the top and musk, vanilla and patchouli in the base. For a perfume that is marketed as an alternative vibe, they put in some classically beautiful notes. It comes down to the plum, which gives the fragrance its X factor, and it's a nice plum (compared to Marc Jacobs Decadence, which is overpowering). I do get a slightly chemically tinge, it is really so faint but I can imagine you might not want to wear this to an office setting. I don't think I'll buy a full bottle, but I'll enjoy sniffing the sample while it lasts.

Upon first blast, this is 100% fresh, vibrant patchouli for me which I love! It quickly evolves into glittering dark fruits with a hint of warm floral, and dries down after a few hours into a powdery sweetness. The sillage is intimate, and it doesn't last long on me, but it is very pleasant and enjoyable while it lasts. I can see why some people get Black Opium from this, and to my nose it shares a tad of its dark syrupy fruitiness with Moonlight by Ariana Grande, but with a twist of incense and vanilla smokiness. Its a very versatile fragrance; something that could be worn pleasantly all day, and topped up for a night out.

I was gifted the mini dab-on set of this and Saint. Sinner is rich and smells a bit intoxicating, the plum and vanilla mix wonderfully with spicy undertones to create a fragrance that is dark and a little heavy without being overwhelming. It is a touch sweet, but to me at least, not all that sweet... just enough to add that certain something. This runs a little more towards a night perfume, but those who are bold or have a darker aesthetic could get away with it during the day as it isn't overpowering. It also layers well with Saint. Not the most amazing scent of its kind I've tried, but still good.

So when you first spray it you get hit hard with old lady perfume smell I mean really hard like uffff, But then when the dry down hits it is very nice it’s a lush musky slightly sweet smell I get vanilla and cinnamon and musk it’s literally the darker version of Saint my mom says it reminds her of my grandma’s opium perfume on the dry down All in all it’s a nice perfume I mean I’m not crazy about it and I probably won’t be buying it again but it’s nice for the time being. My Preferred scents are more floral and fruit But this one is more gourmet vanilla cinnamon caramel sweet and lushly dark

Before I purchased this fragrance I thought I hated patchouli... but, I'm not a fan of patchouli in its pure form. This fragrance to me is the smell of a rebellious teenager finding a small, local bookstore with a hippy owner. It's not the pure, harsh patchouli that I was used to. When you spray it, that's what you get but the dry down is so much more... it sweetens up a but but still has that edge. I think its a nice introduction for those who think they hate patchouli... You still obviously get that note but with the other scents at play, this is a truly sexy scent!

This is a fun fragrance to own, but I can't imagine this being anyones signature scent. It's not very unique, but I like it anyways. It's very classic and reminds me of the early 2000s. As strange as it sounds, this perfume smells AMAZING when combined with the Twilight perfume 'Immortal'. I believe this is because of the freesia notes, and I'm sure any similar fragrance would have the same effect. However, if you're trying to decide between Sinner and Saint, Saint is the way to go. I only own Sinner because it's cheaper and easier to find.
