Dirty Violet
Heretic Parfums (2019)

Violet has a characteristic of erasing itself to the person wearing it and needs strong support. This Heretic Dirty Violet is beautifully combined with jasmine sambac and mid notes radiate with turkish rose followed by patchouli and cedar wood along with a hint of ambrette. I really do like the violet and jasmine shrill opener here. Jasmine gives the cold purple violet a wild edge and exotic paisley swirling personality. The turkish rose combines with the base of patchouli and cedar for an effect similar to the rose/patchouli illusion of L'Artisan Perfumer Voleur de Roses while the violet/jasmine shrill spike gives it a sharp edge. I like this combining, although the ambrette might have been stronger with leather as you can find with Byredo La Botte and Memo Morrocan Leather which both take their violet and jasmine openings to an earthier and more masculine result. I rate this "Dirty" Heretic at 7.5 of 10, marked down because it's not so dirty after all. Still, I like it!
