Dark Purple

Montale Dark Purple Women EDP opens with a strong projection of sweet, fruity, floral, and musky accords. The opening is intense, very projecting, elegant, mature, refined, fresh, and very pleasant. The rose and plum are the most noticeable notes; the plum is a sweet, fruity, dense, and inviting note, it comes across as very sweet and therefore evocative of tasty plum jam as opposed to plum the fruit. The rose is a very aromatic note, red rose-like, feminine, slightly powdery, intense, seductive, sweet, and natural. The orange and patchouli are support notes, just faint sweet citrus, and a green sharpening touch, but nothing noticeable. Similarly, the red berries contribute with a faint scent making the fragrance feel fruity and delectable. And the fragrance dries down, the initially shy white musk grows very fast, projecting the fragrance exponentially. This is a white clean, mild powdery, aromatic musk and not animalic or harsh, but very projecting. The amber contributes by enhancing the projection with a sweet, warm, and resinous touch but not as intense as the white musk. Finally, the teak wood brings a very refined and elegant woody touch, acting as the stage for the rest of the notes. The fragrance has a very little opening to dry-down changes, the dry down feels more powdery than the opening, this is the result of the white musk and amber developing a brief moment after the initial application, the projection remains very strong between the two stages. Once Mondale Dark Purple Women EDP has reached its full dry down it can be summarized as a very strong projection, sweet, rose, plum, and white musk fragrance with fruity and woody accords. The fragrance feels bold, comforting, commanding, delectable, delicate, delicious, dense, dry, elegant, energizing, exotic, expensive, feminine, fine, floral, formal, fragrant, fresh, fruity, high-quality, imposing, intense, intimate, invasive, inviting, long-lasting, mature, modern, white musky, natural, nicely-blended, powdery, refined, rich, romantic, seductive, sweet, versatile, zesty, and very pleasant.

DARK PURPLE aka for me dark tuti fruiti fragrance ive been testing this for a while now on first spray i dont get that medicinal aroma that i get from dark or black aoud i get a dark sweetness vibe in your face scent in the middle i do get the combination plum and berry, geranium mixed, with rose as a slightly dominant note. as it dries down the scent is still sweet the rose becomes more prominant with a slight hint of wood, hard to detect and slight amber, the middle notes with the sweetness notes still lingers a little bit. I dont feel the smell of musk but i can detect the amber very faint in the backround on dry down. There is still that black aoud dna in this fragrance as they say with all montales they share a certain dna that its hard to determine what montale your wearing as they share this certain scent in mostly all their frags. definite unisex on this one IMHO. i dont picture anything when i was wearing this one for some reason i just thought of black aoud with the added sweetness to it. I was not blown away by dark purple most likely because ive already smell it before (like i said its that black aoud dna). If this was my fisrt montale i might have been very very excited but none the less a solid release from montale in my book. longevity 10 plus hours 10/10 sillage heavy not strong as black aoud or dark aoud but respectable for sure you will be noticed 9/10 uniqueness 8/10 might be unique smelling for others but for me not, as ive smelt it before (THAT MONTALE DNA) overall smell wonderful niche quality for sure 9/10 price vs quality 10/10 montale quality moneys worth very potent juice. versatility cold weather day or night in my opinion summer nights as well. i have chocolate greedy by the way im very excited on that one will definitely review it nxt time.

Alla prima annusata avevo deciso che la nuova proposta di montale NON sarebbe stata il mio prossimo acquisto: troppa prugna e troppo piccante con un chè di ciliegioso dolce virante definitivamente al nauseabondo. So di avere un serio problema con le note di testa.. come al solito la fragranza non mi piaceva, questa prugna nera mi sembrava l'accozzo fra un profumo da adolescente pittata e quello della zia stantia. Dopo una buona mezz'ora di altre annusate torno per caso alla prugna di Montale ormai invisibile sulla carta asciutta e mi sembra diversa. Quel frizzante che prima sembrava una scelta esagerata adesso è incanalato su un binario semplice: la prugna si è seduta composta, il pop rock così classico e strafottente dei Montale si è assopito e resta un alito dolce, fruttato, gradevolmente amarognolo. Montale in questo è unico..aroma delicato e persistenza da guinness. Fu così che l'ho comprato. L'ho indossato 2 volte riscuotendo curiosità e complimenti da più parti. Devo ancora capire a quale mood/occasione/abito possa corrispondere; è qualcosa di raro, di tremendamente particolare soprattutto per un uomo: no ufficio, no mercato, no festa con i tuoi. Magari la sera d'inverno a casa di amici di amici, ecco. Se lo scegli preparati a sentirlo per giorni sugli scampoli della giacca. Questo black purple è una colla che ti insegue, tanto per dire che ne basta davvero poco. Da provare e riprovare.

This is a fruit cocktail fragrance.... I got this perfume right after smelling a sample of it as I was completely enamored by it. Dark Purple is a juicy floral-fruity perfume, with very prominent sweet dark plum; hints of rose and fresh orange nuances. The red berries are very subtle and not always detectable. I think it is an aoud based perfume as it has a very oriental/middle eastern aura. In my opinion, this perfume is very versatile I can see it being used by a wide demographic ranging from young high schoolers to older women. It's mostly unisex however, I do believe it leans more to the feminine side men who exude confidence would be able to pull this perfume off. When I walk into a room whilst wearing this perfume, the scent fills the room. If I spray this on in the morning it lasts the whole day up until I shower. My nose does get used to the scent so I do stop noticing it after time. nevertheless, it is still recognizable by others. If I spay this onto my clothes the scent doesn't go away at all until clothes are washed. However, don't spray directly onto white clothes as it stains. If somebody was to ask where they could wear this perfume I would definitely say that it is super versatile. It can be used casually, in a work environment, on dates, and even clubbing.

So, I bought the Treasures giftset from Montale and chose this as one of my 20ml, I also opted for aoud Safran and Red Aoud after alot of research. Arabians Tonka is my signature. Now Dark Purple is becoming a love for me. I've fallen in love with the dry down. At first spray you get a synthetic plummy rose, but it is sooo pleasant and straight off, you think, this is Different and I think I like it. It definitely has a dark aura about it. I think someone said on here, you could imagine a vampire wearing it and that's a flipping good description. Anyway, then comes the drydown. Oh my days, it's gloriously gothic. I keep getting wafts of it as I go about my day. I've been testing it for a few weeks now and it's gone from a like to a love in the dry down. It's really good. It's different, but who wants to smell the same as everyone else. Arabians Tonka is still my One, but on dark mood days, I'm going for this more and more. I can only describe the end as a sultry, Juicy plummy musk, but dont kid yourself that it's a playful girly scent. This one is dark and dangerous. Almost witchy ❤️
