Silences Purple Jacomo for women

well, one can say, with barely, that it resembles Addict, but it lacks the vanilic asepct and anyway it fades after less than 2 hours. i was not impressed.

I think the name is totally inappropriate,it is loudness what should this perfume be called; unless what's meant to be said was :HUSH everybody! I don't think this perfume is floral, it smells aromatic to me and it is a dominant ,heavy, chalking masculine(not in a goodway at all) scent..sorry, that's what I feel..

Although at first it smells like Dior Addict Eau Fraiche (many same notes as you can see) after half an hour it leaves you with some smell like men shaving foam. No similarity with original Dior Addict. Addict dries out with a sexy long-lasting deep vanilla, this dries in vetiver and patchouli. yak!!

Update after 24 hours, yes it does smell like Dior Addict now :).... Good and phew ! Sigh of relief at last... And that also speaks about its longevity ! Am eager now to let my love for Silences Purple grow.

I bought Silences Purple because of the reviews emphasising its comparision to a famed fragrance and its affordability. But am sadly disappointed. Addict has this beautiful vanilla whereas Silences Purple gives me only a very moody patchouli. I wanted to love this one. But alas!

I don't know if the perfume I got was off or what but this did not react well with my chemistry at all.

I got a completely synthetic, overpowering "floral". Perhaps it was the patchouli that was too strong?

I'm not sure. It didn't smell at all like the beautiful florals listed & I have addict too. Doesn't smell the same at all, not even close.

I bought this perfume after reading all these reviews and I just am so in love with it. It smells so expensive but it cost me less than 20 USdollars for this huge bottle.Its the cheapest and my most fav in my huge collection of perfumes!!

I've never smelled Dior Addict, and had never smelled Silences Purple, but this has got to be one of the best kept perfume secrets in the world. You can find huge bottles of the EDP on the internet for $15 or less at several websites. (I now know it would be a bargain even at four times that price.) I decided I could risk purchasing unsniffed due to the low cost.

It wasn't love at first sniff. It was a polite, cautious like at best. I don't usually wear scents that smell like this one. It initially smelled too sharp and green, even a bit medicinal. However, I did notice that the scent evolves quite a bit during wear. It got much softer and sweeter over time, and boy, does it linger! I could smell the last faint traces almost 12 hours later.

By the third wearing, I was ready to pledge my love.

Such a quality fragrance for a great price! Sharp citrus notes yield to soft and feminine florals, not unlike Prada Infusion d'Iris or Barbara Bui. The dry-down reminds me of vanilla incense,sweet but slightly smoky. The slightly masculine grassy notes of vetiver emerge a good ten hours after application.

Love the big purple "hockey puck" bottle, too. Very pretty color and so satisfying to hold and spray. Try a bottle and take some time to get to know it!

I just bought this perfume without knowing how it smelled. First when I sprayed Silences Purple it did smelled exactly like Dior Addict to me "BUT" as it dried down it changed. It has a smell at the end that makes it soo different. I have Dior Addict, I have worn it for years and this don't smell like it. Addict has 2 main Notes mandarine and vanille also its a lot more stronger and wears down to a dark vanille, sexy dark vanille thats mostly all you will smell. Silences purple smells sexy too but it is a much lighter "mini me" lol, of dior addict it is not as rich smelling, it has notes in it that makes it different from dior addict like, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vetiver, Amber, Batons de vanille, Tonka beans. I think I'm smelling the vetiver or definitly amber at the end with a hint of vanille but more amber, because amber has that feminine light sexy smell to it after you have been wearing it most of the day and can be confused with vanille somtimes. I do agree that this fragrance is a great replacement for the much pricer Dior Addict. It seems to have some pretty good lasting power to it too.

i also bought this perfume because everyone said it smelled like addict.
But having never sniffed addict it was a blind purchase.
IM SO IN LOVE! i can smell the blood orange and a little patchuli and almost incense-y, i dont know but im so happy with it!
the sillage is so great as well, 2 sprays and its all you need, lasts all day as well.

i did purchase this after having read in this community, that it smells like one of my all time faves: Dior addict and it s true wow!!!!! i m blown away! lasts on my about 6-8 hours, depends on sprayed amounth. Love it!!!

Love it! Just as everyone here has said in earlier posts, this to me also smells just like Dior`s Addict, which I happen to LOVE. A wonderful fragrance, and rather inexpensive. This one is a keeper with me.

I find this one to be more an evening scent, very sexy and seductive, and for me, a fall and winter type scent. This is something I wear out for dinner. It is a nice change from the usual sweet gourmands I wear. The notes I most detect on my skin are the mandarin, jasmine, sandalwood, and patchouli.

I get great feedback from both men and women when I wear it - especially from the husband :). Sillage and lasting power is just great, it lasts all day on me with two sprays.

I think it is excellent!

I have the Addict again thanks to my sweet sweet Persephone!! But I must confess, this one is just better!!
For all you that do not know the Jacomo house, this is a well kept secret, the entire house is!! For example, the highly praised Silences original has become the favorite green of my darling Persephone. And take it from me, that women has taste, OMG!!

Initially it is sharp - almost awful, but after about 5-6 minutes develops in a beautiful sweet-floral aroma with salty-bitter aftertaste (vetiver?), which makes floral notes sounds wild. With time this salty-bitter note becomes more significant, while the sweet-floral aroma settles down. It is an interesting fragrance, invokes image of blooming weeds along the sea (charming!) and lasts forever.

This just a prototype for strong winter perfume.At first it begins with very strong(esp frangipani is good detectable at this phase) spicy florals-almost oriental- and it settles down to a rich, remarkable and stable floarl scent. It doesn't change or loose its character in hours.
And of course:excellent staying power! I highly recommend this frag for those people their skin doesn't hold perfume on...

I just received this and I bought it without smelling it first but that's okay because all of you were right it smells just like Dior Addict which I LOVE LOVE LOVE! I was skeptical at first but for such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. To me both Silences Purple and Dior Addict smell like vanilla, marshmallows and an undertone of jasmine incense. The white flowers in the middle really marry the fragipani on the top with the tonka bean in the base. Delicious! I will buy again!

I loved it right away, even though I knew it was "not me". It smelled like this beautiful woman I used to see in the office downtown who always seemed a tad larger than life. She was voluptuous, with a head of shiny perfect curls, slippers with those very, very pointed tips and a pashmina shawl wrapped around her full shoulders. As she walked with her head very, very high, like a queen from the far away land, everyone looked, had to turn their heads because she was simply a lot to behold...although no one really knew why she should rule anything... And so is Silences Purple, which I had to return, because living with it was just too much! I can still smell its lovely vanilla trail on my pillow.

Absolutely lovely like Dior Addict. It's really very similar and powerful as Dior Addict.

I bought it today and deffinatelly like it!How cant I?!It smells just like my favourite Addict .Till i buy another bottle of Addict i will use this one with pleasure.:))lasting power-excellent

sharp and then nice....but i am not sure it does last long time...

perfumista is very right. silence is the cheaper version of dior addict.

silences purple is very sweet at first,but after a while it becomes somehow spicy and even masculine!I know I don't see any masculine notes over here,but believe me the middle and base notes are not good at all.

very nice perfume, I don't like the bottle at all, but the smell is EXACTLY THE SAME as Dior Addict, and it is a perfume, not eau dt, so it also lasts looong - and the best thing is it is waay cheaper than the Addict...In my country, all Dior Addict users are replacing it with this fragrance...
