"The fragrance Purple Haze embraces the hippie movement and counterculture just like John and Yoko's bed-ins in Amsterdam and Montreal. Purple Haze is about the legendary Keenak who I met in Bahama Village, Key West. Guitar on his back, snakeskin boots, skinny jeans, and long hair. A sense of Woodstock. It is a tribute to creativity, freedom, and indulgence." -Johan Bergelin

Since when did we all get so scared of smelling like a hippie? Unlike many of its patchouli-based contemporaries in niche fragrance, Purple Haze doesn't run away from the raw, earthy, evocative power of this misunderstood material. Instead, it delivers the wearer a heady, intoxicating, psychedelic fougere that mixes intensely fresh aromatic notes like cypress, cannabis, and thyme with a rich patchouli-woods-vanilla base for an extremely groovy trip back in time. Deep, powerful, quirky and captivating, Purple Haze is a scent unafraid to embrace its inner love child.

Scent Bar Staff Video Review for Purple Haze

Video Transcript

There are a number of fragrances from this brand, 19-69, that I'm really enjoying. The brand came out in 2017. The person behind it is a Swedish artist and product developer named Johan Bergellen. He collaborated with various different Swedish artisans, French and Italian artisans to come up with this collection, which in my opinion is so well done. Each one is telling a story of a specific time and place and has its own unique mood.

The one I've been wearing the most since I got to know the line in the first place is Purple Haze. With a name like Purple Haze in 19-69, you're going to be thinking about Jimi Hendrix, you're going to be thinking about Woodstock and the counterculture of the 60s and going into the 70s. It should come as no surprise that this fragrance features patchouli.

Patchouli is a funny thing. I feel I have to be so careful when I say the P word to some people because it triggers them and immediately shuts them off. I don't even want to smell that. I don't like patchouli. But you do. A lot of people do like patchouli, whether they know it or not. Patchouli is a funny thing. On its own, sure, I'm not the biggest fan of it if you just take some patchouli essential oil and dab it on. It's a little bit too mentholated in a way that I don't like. But I have really nice associations with it because in my personal history, when I was growing up, goths wore patchouli and they also smoked clove cigarettes and something about this combination with such a wonderful smell that makes me a little bit nostalgic.

Although it's called Purple Haze and the bottle has a really nice purple in the base, it actually starts off very, very green. I'm thinking specifically a canopy of trees like cypress trees, evergreen trees. You get that nice beautiful outdoor smell. I was wearing this the other day

Spicy with overtones of powdery musk, a bit old ladyish for me. It brings forth pleasant memories of my second grade teacher.

Sampled. Nice but very, very light. On me it leaves the fragrance volume of a mild soap. Would love it if I could smell it.

Mmmmmmm yummy!!!! I think this is what Beverly D'Angelos character in "Hair" would have smelled like a beautiful rich hippie! A I can't wait to have a full bottle of this fragrance.

Dry, spicy, warm, fresh. I definitely get a vintage vibe from this. Smells like something my coolest aunt would have worn in the 70s. The cannabis note here is very subtle, and of fresh, slightly piney bud, not skunky smoke, so don't let that scare you off. Mild sillage, but this is a real treat for anyone who gets close enough to pick up on it. There is a soft vanilla note that peeks out from behind, evident mostly at the end of an inhale. This one's going on my full-size wish list. It's unique and niche without being too avant-garde to be a very wearable fragrance.

So this could be the number one for me from this group. This is gorgeous deep and definitely purple. Strong but sophisticated patchouli. This smells like my memories of Bergdorf Goodman in the 1960s. They used to pump a fragrance into the air which hit you right when you went through the revolving doors, it was so glorious. Reminds me of my elegant mother. Leans a little boy but in a sexy way. Rich, fancy hippie. In my mind Lou Reed and Andy Warhol smell like this
