What does Assaf Private Purple smell like?
Grapefruit, mandarin and cardamom bring citrus and spice to the top of Assaf Private Purple. Grapefruit is bitter-bright, mandarin sweeter and softer, and cardamom adds a cool, slightly camphor-like spice. The heart blends rose, geranium and orange blossom with ozone, so the flowers come with an airy, watery touch rather than a heavy one.
Warmth takes over at the bottom of the pyramid: amber, patchouli, vanilla and musk. Together they are earthy and sweet, a heavier ending than the airy heart would suggest. The style is floral-citrus up front and amber-vanilla underneath, with ozone the one note that stays light. Patchouli keeps the vanilla from turning sugary.
Who is Assaf Private Purple for?
Unisex by listing, it covers a lot of ground. Citrus, spice, flowers and a sweet amber base give it range: a zesty start, a floral heart and a cosy finish, which makes it a sensible fit for anyone who likes fresh and warm in a single scent.
