‘With Purple Trouble I wanted to create a fragrance built around wild blackberry. Not a shy fruit, not too refined, but something more generous and richer in texture. A blackberry that is fruity, yet wild and fresh. Sparkling, modern and full of depth. But it was missing something more, a little twist. This is where the red chili comes in. As a finishing touch, it highlights the wild nature of the blackberry and adds a little bit of restlessness. Just like the girl who wears it.’ – Romano Ricci (Translated)
‘”Purple Trouble” opens with the juicy allure of wild blackberry, intertwined with an unexpected but perfectly balanced accord of red chili pepper. Vivid, passionate and untamed, the fruity note reveals its raw and natural character, while musks and ambroxan merge luxuriously with the skin, leaving a sensual and modern trail (…) About the chili: It’s like red lipstick applied to a clean face or a precise line of black eyeliner. A small detail that brings character and adds subtle contrast to the overall image. When you step back a bit and look at it as a whole, you notice it, but it doesn’t dominate. The red chili gives the scent a special sharpness. Sparkling. It doesn’t shout, but it doesn’t retreat either.’ – Juliette Has A Gun (Translated)
