Depends on the expectation
After I participated in a well organized sharing here in the souk, I was allowed to call a 10 ml bottle of Dark Purple my own. From Montale I only knew Pure Gold before. I found it quite good, but not spectacular.
Dark Purple, great.....I like plum scents. I don't own a perfume in that direction, but scented candles..Yankee Candle, Village Candle..I love these dark purple candles with their warm scent. Often a few spices are added. They are autumnally warm and faithful companions in the dark season.
So it was natural to participate in this sharing.
I tore open the envelope, put one or two sprayers on my arm and got a full load of rose. And dark....nee, my ass, a light pink rose. Ok, I'm not the rose type anyway...in the pyramid of scents there is also something of rose...at the back :-( and apparently the only thing missing in my bottling is the plum.
After an hour the smell became woody.... and the day came to an end. Test over, so to speak.
This morning I sprayed him again. The rose showed right back up. I was now prepared for it, the fright stayed away. Hmm, so today I still think that this perfume simply has a misleading name. Dark Purple are only allowed to call themselves AUTUMN perfumes...at least I think so.
This rose pops in with an intensity I did not expect, besides it is bright.....tag bright. Totally fine in the spring. I'm reminded of N. Rodriguez at the EdP "For Her". Of course it is there primarily about musk, the rose accompanies him. With Dark Purple it's the other way round....the rose is accompanied by musk, but in both cases it's very intense.
Well, like I said, it's getting woodier....and quieter. But the rose stays. At the base, so hours later, I sense plum. It seems very tiny and shy Meanwhile I wear the perfume 12h and am naturally delighted that I can still perceive it myself.
Hmm, what do I do with my bottling now? I put it into a dark drawer and will gladly take it out again in spring....yes, I am already looking forward to that.
