heroine Purple Poison

Purple Poison opens with a dark, fruity rush: plum and wild berries laced with coriander, anise and Brazilian rosewood. That initial sweetness is dense rather than bright, and it sets the tone for an Oriental Floral that stays rich from first spray to drydown.

The heart is where the composition turns baroque — tuberose and jasmine pressed against incense, white honey, cinnamon, opoponax, carnation, African orange flower and rose. The base settles into vanille, amber, sandalwood, heliotrope, musk, vetiver and Virginia cedar, warm and resinous with a woody spine. This is a collector's scent for those who enjoy big, sweet-spicy orientals from the 1980s and don't mind serious projection and sillage. It suits evening wear and cool weather far better than daytime or heat. If you gravitate to honeyed florals with incense and amber depth, this is worth seeking out; sample first if you prefer lighter, modern compositions.

紫色毒藥以李子、野莓開場，揉合芫荽、八角與巴西玫瑰木，果香甜潤而濃稠。中調轉向華麗：晚香玉、茉莉、玫瑰與橙花，疊上乳香、白蜂蜜、肉桂、沒藥與康乃馨，層次繁複。基調落在香草、琥珀、檀香、天芥菜、麝香、岩蘭草與維吉尼亞雪松，溫暖帶木質底蘊。整體是八〇年代典型的大器東方花香，投射力與留香都強，適合晚宴、秋冬或正式場合，不建議炎熱白天使用。喜歡蜂蜜花香混合樹脂與琥珀深度的人會欣賞；偏好清透現代香氣者宜先試香。
