Standard Clean Patchouli Fruity Floral
Rubylips is mainly a fruity floral on my skin, with a clean, bright patchouli acting as the backbone. The opening sees the red berries dominating over medicinal patchouli, which creates a spiced prune effect prone to many fruitchouli fragrances. Thankfully, since Rubylips doesn’t have notes to imitate caramel or chocolate, the texture is more dry than syrupy.
As time progresses, the red berries are gradually replaced by fresh, slightly aquatic floral evoking waterlily and nebulously a pale rose. Rubylips is now an awashed musky floral gently spiced up by an equally desanitised patchouli. The fragrance does gain slightly more honeyed deep in the dry down, but the overall effect is still a squeaky clean, “shampoo”-like patchouli fruity floral quite ubiquitous nowadays.
The sillage of Rubylips is relatively soft and it can hold up to 8 hours in general.
In itself, Rubylips is not bad at all, and being released in 2004, it does precede many other trending fresh patchouli fruity floral. But at the same time, I don’t find it outstanding in this crowded genre, more like a standard affair. If you enjoy mainstream patchouli fruity floral and can find it at a reasonable price, Rubylips is actually a good deal. But otherwise you won’t miss out much either.
