What do reviewers say about Dark Purple and Red Tobacco?
Most fruity-florals play it safe. Dark Purple doesn't, plum and orange open bright, but the dark rose and patchouli pull the whole thing somewhere deeper.Dark Purple
It's not trying to be liked by everyone, and that's exactly the point. Red Tobacco projects hard and smells expensive. The opening is a red flag for bubblegum fans.Red Tobacco
