Scent Bar Staff Video Review for Purple Stain

Video Transcript

I have two fragrances from BORNTOSTANDOUT here. As you can see, they're in red bottles, so I was trying to figure out what sets them apart from the original collection, which come in white bottles. It says that these are extra extreme concentration, so that's the significance of the red.

But also, these two fragrances specifically have, in my opinion, a Middle Eastern palette. Specifically, I'm smelling Oud and Saffron in both of them. Oud Candy has that wonderful touch of sweetness. There's, I believe, a little bit of caramel in here, but the saffron comes through and it resembles leather and it makes this fragrance quite serious and very sophisticated.

Purple Stain also has the Oud and the Saffron, but it has this wonderfully sweet fruity note. You're supposed to be thinking about wine-stained pages of a book, so imagine a decadent night out. But I don't really smell so much of a wine note, more of a concord grape note. It's delightful. I love how it combines with those more grounded saffron, leather, Oud notes.

These are both very chic and highly recommended.

As a millennial, I think back to those scented markers I used in elementary. It has an essence of the purple marker. Definitely get a little bit of oud and light patchouli. I'm not entirely sure this would be a great wear for the summer. It's not overwhelming, but I can see how it would cause a headache if the heat projects it more. Definitely a fragrance that leans to Fall through early Spring.

This scent is unexpected. At first it feels overwhelming, but it's a scent with a lot of personality, yet it is sexy and sweet, without being cloying, and unforgettable. You can feel the presence of eucalyptus, cinnamon, bergamot, orange blossom, and wood - like taking a sip of a wine you've thoroughly enjoyed. It leaves a powerful impression, perfect for those who seek a distinctive and long-lasting fragrance. It truly matches my personality.
