By the editors · 2 min readPurple Flowers leads with a triple-spice opening — ginger, black pepper, and nutmeg all hit at once, dry and bracing. There's no fruit cushion underneath, which is unusual for a 'flowers' name; the opening reads more like a chypre setup than a floral one.
The heart steadies into rose and patchouli with cedar holding the structure. By the drydown, Madagascar vanilla and ambergris arrive, but the spice never fully recedes — it lingers at the edges of the white musk base. The composition has a slightly masculine lean despite the floral title, more dressed-up than romantic. Wears strong in cool air and gets dry rather than sweet as it develops; a fall-into-winter signature.
