Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Quinacridone Violet: Start Wearing Purple, Wearing Purple…

 

 

You Tube-Gogol Bordello: Start Wearing Purple

[I know Dawn would approve!]

Dawndear is a formidable painter, as well as perfumer; her active, curious intelligence leads her to explore synaesthesia on many levels.

Why not perfume as color?

I’m choosing to explore a color / fragrance that may be problematic for some-

But not for me.

It makes me happy, happy, happy.

 

 

Quinacridone Violet is a larger-than-life, effervescent explosion of blossom, bud, leaf, fruit underscored with cedar, a kiss of musk and a murmur of incense.

It is ebulliently Electric Day-Glo Violet- as in “plugged into a generator “.

I say this with great affection for its unapologetically playful nature.

 

Oh, such luscious fruit!

Peel of lime, plum, tart quince romp merrily with cherry blossoms; so many lovely flowers grace the heart of the matter- aglaia, neroli, osmanthus, sweet pea, and violet [a little violet leaf tossed in as well].

Cassis adds its fruitiness to the base of barely-there musk, incense, and cedar.

[Something has to anchor this balloon!]

We are treated to a sweet-tart blend of fragrant goodwill.

I challenge anyone to feel blue or burdened while wearing this ….

Perfume as Prozac.

 

Dawndear refers to QV as ‘shocking’.

I guess it could be construed as such-

But probably only by folk who begrudge others their pleasure, good fortune, or happiness.

It’s a wild, wacky, wonderful ride…..to be thoroughly enjoyed, while tempus is fugiting !
