What Does Olfactories - Tainted Love Smell Like
The Olfactories - Tainted Love by Prada opens with the tantalizing scent of ripe raspberries - juicy, sweet, and slightly tart. This fruity introduction is not overpowering but offers a rather playful burst of freshness that tantalizes the sense of smell.
As the raspberry note gently fades, the heart of the perfume reveals itself with a dominant, classic rose fragrance. This rose scent is true and clear, evoking an image of blooming flowers in a summer garden. It's not overbearing but succeeds in making its presence felt. The rose is accompanied by a subtle hint of violet, a delicate, almost shy flower that adds a touch of additional floral depth.
Finally, the base note introduces musk, a scent that is animalistic and earthy. This note gives the fragrance its last lasting impression, creating a grounding contrast to the sweet fruit and floral heart.
In summary, Olfactories - Tainted Love by Prada is a colorful journey of fragrances, starting from fruity freshness, leading to a floral garden, and ending with a grounding musk. It's a bouquet of intriguing scents that come together to create a harmonious sensory experience.
Review of Olfactories - Tainted Love
Prada's Tainted Love is a fine perfume that's part of the Olfactories line. Launched in 2015, the scent carries the classic Prada sophistication, but also manages to present something a little different, straying from the usual, accepted norms.
A subtle blend of powdery and floral notes, it welcomes you with an initial burst of raspberry. It is sweet without being overpowering, a rarity in modern perfumes. Its core notes are rose and violet, which offer a gentle and tender touch, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate subtlety over strength.
Even though it's classified as unisex, its primary audience seems to be women. Men might find it a bit too floral for their taste, yet it might captivate those who are brave enough to explore beyond the traditional limits of gendered scents.
Its longevity is commendable, it lingers on your clothes and skin for hours. However, its sillage could be better. It doesn't command a room but prefers to stay discreet, making it perfect for intimate gatherings, but perhaps not the best option for a high-energy night out.
The scent blooms in the spring but can hold its own in other seasons too. It's a perfume that you can casually wear during the day but also adds a touch of elegance to a night out or a business meeting.
As for the value, it's a Prada, so it's not cheap. But if you appreciate quieter, more understated scents, it might be worth the investment. It's not flawless though, the synthetic note might deter some, and the sillage could be improved. Overall, Prada's Tainted Love is a nuanced perfume that quietly demands attention.
