I know you...
There are fragrances that build bridges. People love them, people feel comfortable around them and compliments are heaped on them. And there are fragrances that build walls. Purple Heart V.5 places stone upon stone, in a vertical form.
The first few seconds literally jump out at you. A heavy sweetness, surrounded by exorbitant smokiness. A sour cherry in the middle, clearly recognizable. It's almost unbearable, and yet somehow awesome. A fragrance that doesn't even try to please the masses, but instead directly pushes boundaries and unapologetically presents its tough side. Once the initial shock has been digested, the following thought creeps in: "I've smelled this somewhere before!", and indeed. At times, Purple Heart V.5 is strongly reminiscent of one of the most hyped fragrances of all, "AddictiveArts - Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic | Clive Christian". This also focuses on the tart fruit and repeatedly emits shrill clouds of smoke that make the whole thing unmistakable. The longevity and sillage can easily keep up with the €550 luxury fragrance, but for me, Purple Heart V.5 is even more intrusive, even more uncomfortable and even more extroverted. Why it is restricted as a fragrance for women is a mystery to me. I see it as absolutely unisex, if not more in the masculine sector, as many ladies are sure to be overwhelmed by the heaviness. It takes a really long time, about 3 or 4 hours, before it calms down and slightly more floral notes come to the fore. I think I also detect a hint of leather and/or oud, but unfortunately I miss the licorice note. If this had also made an appearance, we would be talking about a candidate for the top score. This leaves us with a "merely" very good product with an impressive performance that could certainly impress fans of "beastmode" fragrances.
