Sinner Kat Von D for women

I am surprised at how nice Kat Von D SINNER smells. Not sure why, except of course that it is a celebrity launch. Sweet floral patchouli is obviously a huge fad, and in SINNER I don't think that anything very new is being done, but the blend smells fairly good and better than some of the other perfumes occupying the same general olfactory neighborhood.

In some ways, this is a budget version of something along the lines of Juliette has a Gun VENGEANCE EXTREME. The big difference is that here the flowers are white, rather than roses. But the big, big patchouli, and the sweet vanilla come through even the fairly strong musk base. Although I hasten to add that this composition is quite a bit less musky than, say, Tocca CLEOPATRA, to which SINNER can be favorably compared.

Not bad at all. I do not believe that this smells cheap, although it is inexpensive relative to the niche analogues. To my nose, the plum in this composition is very low key, so I would not call this one a fruity chypre. No, this is a straightforward floriental, it seems to me. Needless to say: for patchouli lovers only!

When fist applied, this scents smells very similar to a sensual, mature fragrance like CK euphoria. It drys down a little sweet, and softens up a bit. I can't really detect one note, and definitely can't smell any floral notes at all.

I don't think the name sinner fits it at all, as it's not really 'sinful' feeling or smelling. Reminds me of an Avon perfume my mom used to wear, but I can't place my finger on which one. Maybe Imari or Imari seduction?

Re visited this scent again after a long period of time...At first when I recieved this I liked it.. but was more into her other scent at the time Saint. Tonight I was looking at my wardrobe, seeing what I havent "sampled" in a while... and picked this up. Wow.. completely different view. When I wore it before, I found it to be more floral, but tonight it went more to the sweet side, which I am loving bc I am a gourmand lover... I guess I will have to use it more often during these cold winter months! :-)

way too strong, patchouli overkill; definitely only for a night out; not for every day use, unless you want to suffocate people around you.

NR for Her, Lovely, Tocca Cleopatra, Idyle, Gucci Guilty... It's been done, done and DONE to death.

This scent is pretty meh, and I was expecting something if not unique then at least loud from the ever eccentric Von D.

The first spray is a little offensive, which I believe is a strong note of patchouli mixed with heavy jasmine. Luckily that quiets down and the base sets in within twenty minutes. While the base is fairly good smelling, it is very forgettable. Honestly, it smells more like the beginnings of a perfume, or what a perfume would smell like the next day rather than something on it's own. There isn't enough sinning in this to call it Sinner. Disappointed.

It smells so sexy, woodsy and spicy. My boyfriend goes crazy whenever I wear this. It draws a lot of attention, trust me girls ;).

This smells really great. I get just about every note listed on my skin plus alot of warm vanilla. It is a very nice gourmand in my opinion...not too strong, not too weak. Just right. I may have to go get a bottle of this!

i dont get any flowers with this, but a nice generic fruitchouli. safe side. no sins.

Like a previous reviewer mentioned, this scent reminds me of Gucci by Gucci. It doesn't least nearly as long as Gucci. I liked it for the first few weeks but after a while it got to be too much, and I am now realizing that I need my vanilla fragrances to be separated from white flowers. I like the purity of a strictly gourmand vanilla that is uninterrupted by white flowers. It is much more comforting and feels closer to my heart. If you like vanilla and patchouli together, then you'll like this. I mainly smell vanilla, patchouli and jasmine. Those that like a whole lot of notes thrown into the mix, this is the "vanilla" scent for you.

Omgoodness, now I know! This smells much like Hanae Mori edp! Only less soft/milky and more fruity. I have samples of both and like them both. Sinner is a more of an outgoing clubbingperfume, while Hanae Mori is the dreamy-mother-staying-at-home version (like in daydreaming, I don't know why that pops into my head with HM, but it does).

It opens light with an innocent facade of
Orange blossom and a bit of Mandarin then
in a few minutes to becomes deep and sensual with succulent ripe plums start
to steep into the senses like the demoness
Lilith from ancient Semitic myth who
seduces men to their deaths the plum has
a seductive power then dries to an spicy
edging of cinnamon and dries the middle
with jasmine hides beneath the sin in a
little crevasse The drydown is dark is
musk and woods the other notes like
Vetiver Patchouli and vanilla remains
elusive to senses and unfortunaly this
does'nt last it's fleeting like the moment of Adam and Eve in the garden of
Eden right before when eve picked the
fruit of sin and i bet what Sin smelled
like.

Kat Von D's "Sinner" has nothing to be ashamed of. Infact, she doesn't have a single bad bone in her body.

She is sweet with opening notes of plum and orange flower.

So how does she try to differentiate from her Duo sister, "Saint"?

by pushing the only sinful note in her, Cinnamon. >:)

I think with cinnamon, any fragrance can be associated with being "bad" or "dark" and this little vixen wants to show you just how bad she really is. (that sounded sexual...)

how does she do this? by pushing cinnamon inot the top notes and trying to make it last all through its life spam.

Like her sister, she too has a beautiful creamy finish.

A nice fragrance that can be worn at night out.

And if you wanna be daring, even during the day. :)

Many similarity to Gucci by Gucci EDT. I expected very much from this scent, but on my skin there is nothing special, only some flowers with a hint of plum.

Slow-cooked plums with a bit of smokiness, something resinous and something sweet. Promising, but a tad murky and undefined. Reminiscent of Euphoria, but IMO not as well done.

Overall a decent, darkly fruity, somewhat gourmand, floral-oriental. Just not that special or original.

I love this perfume. It's the perfect blend of sweet and spicy for me. I can wear it days on end without getting bored. I don't smell the jasmine much until the way dry down and it lasts for about 8 hours on me with 2 sprays (one on clothes, one on wrists). Funny, the first time I sampled it I hated it, but I tried it a couple more times and it really grew on me. One of my current favorites!

I can see this being a hit for those who like super earthy fragrances, but it just wasn't for me. There is way too much patchouli for me, so much so that I can hardly smell anything else. If I try hard, I can almost smell vanilla, possibly plum as well.

On the plus side -if you like this perfume- it does have decent lasting power if you use a few sprays.

I like sinner and saint when I smelled it I had to have both im a big fan of patochoulli

I expected this to smell much sweeter! it actually has a lovely incense-like smell, which i happen to love. it's smokey and sexy :) hardly lasts at all however which is a huge draw back

What a surprise to discover that Kat’s sin must be gluttony. This is a super-sweet, fruity and vanilla pastry scent from the get-go. Once I got over the shock of finding myself in the middle of a plum tart, I found myself enjoying the scent, which is at heart a conventional fruity gourmand floral-oriental, heavy on the vanilla. After about an hour there’s the tiniest hint of patchouli, but it’s not enough to make a dent in the sugary vanilla. At this point the scent becomes a fluffy puff of sweetness and light, a generic commercial drydown that eventually just dies away within 5-6 hours.

As another reviewer pointed out, Sinner has some of the same notes as Rochas Femme, but they’ve been taken from the bedroom to the all-you-can-eat dessert buffet and it’s a happy lick-the-fillo-pastry-crumbs-off-your-fingers fest rather than a serious seduction scene. Sinner is the kind of thing that’s easy and pleasant to wear when you're in the mood for something light and sweet. Many thanks to the generous forum member who sent me the sample!

SINNER opened nicely; I love the long top note of mandarin and plum. It didn’t smell plastic at all, just juicy and freshly sweet. Sadly it just went downhill from there.
I love cinnamon, but couldn’t detect any thanks to the overwhelming jasmine note… and when the dreaded (cue scary music) patchouli note mingles with the jasmine my stomach turned.
Overall I found SINNER to be a heavier version of Ricci Ricci.


The red bottle and engraved lid is eye-catching.
The staying power is very good too.

I don't think that because it's called Sinner that it needs to be super strong...I love the cinnamon, patchouli and vanilla...that is what stands out to me in this one...I personally like it mixed with Saint...but I do not mind wearing it alone...maybe people hyped it up to much and that's why they were disappointed...just a thought.

"Sinner" wasn't at all what I expected. With a name like "Sinner", I was expecting something bold, heady, uninhibited and wild. I was expected a much darker fragrance than what I encountered. Yes it smells good with it's boozy mix of plums and oranges, and its florals and woodsy base notes, but I must say I'm a bit diasappointed. The name is a bit misleading. It's more of a play it safe perfume as opposed to a dirty little secret in a bottle. Actually it bares similarities to "Calvin Klein's "Euphoria", just a lighter version. The composition doesn't really change. You pretty much get the same sweet woodsy smell from the beginning to the end. Nice and wearable, but more playful than sexy in my opinion. Modern and can be worn everyday.

Upon first sniff, I wasnt a big fan of Sinner, Saint won me over instantly and I purchased it. I thought it over, and decided I didn't give it a fair trial. So I went back and sampled it... And I LOVE IT! Its truly fantastic. The mixture of plum, cinnamon and vanilla... Its quickly becoming one of my favorites. But sinner? I think not. Smells great, but the name doesn't really fit. But who cares about names? Its all about the scent!

I really didn't want to like this fragrance. Kat Von D is not a character who appeals to me. Also, I usually abhor floral notes but this is unlike any floral I've ever sampled before. This fragrance is intense and luscious. The opening to me is boozy dried roses but it dries down quickly to it's heart; something spicy, sultry, and dirty - but dirty in a good way! It's almost as if someone were trying to recreate the smell of a "cheap" perfume but used the best possible ingredients. The finale of creamy cinnamon musk lingers skin close for hours. I didn't expect this fragrance to be complex and interesting but I can't deny it's appeal.

This perfume is growing on me more and more each time I wear it. I get tons of luscious, juicy plum when I first spray it on, but there's a little bite in there, too. The cinnamon and florals smell almost tropical to me, very lush and sexy. The dry down is everything I love about an oriental floral: a little sweet, a lot spicy, and all sexy. I particularly like the balance of the patchouli, musk and vanilla in the bottom notes. Sinner could easily become one of my favorites.

I didn't expect to like this scent. I thought it was rather sweet and cloying but many hours after putting it on, I realized that I smelled delicious and after testing this perfume several more times, am glad to say it is very unique and pleasant.

Sinner is a great fragrance for people who generally go for brighter, fruitier fragrances, but want something a bit darker and spicier for a change...without assaulting their senses or getting a headache.

It is a burst of plum and florals that begin to wrap themselves in a warm blanket of patchouli and woods. Slightly spicy, very beautiful.

I actually prefer the dry down in this fragrance. A gentle, earthy patchouli really developes on my skin. I love it.

A good,pretty girl with an edge, letting her darker side come out for the first time.

I've stocked up on this and bought the gift set with lotion. Sinner is quickly becoming one of my favorite fragrances!

I have both scents (sinner and saint). I like Sinner more than Saint but I wish they would last longer on my skin.

Well when I first sprayed this on, I couldn't decide how I felt. It was different from what I usually wear, so I was excited, it smelled a little more mysterious and different....but it never changed. It smelled the same from when I smelled it, til when I took a shower the next morning. I really like Saint, because it has more depth, it at first smells fruity and changes....that is what makes a perfume interesting to me....although I do think they are both lovely, if I had to pick one, I'd choose Saint.

Finally I had a chance to try both Kat`s frags and let me tell you something! Sinner is more of a saint - white flowers without an edge, simple as a uniform of a catholic church goody two shoes.Plum is very subtle and just does not last...as, alas, mostly the rest of the composition.
Would not recognize it if smelled it on someone.

Hmm, I expected something a little more edgy from a perfume by a girl like Kat Von D named "Sinner" but it wasn't at all bad. The beginning had a note much like grapefruit, which I rather liked. Then it became just a tad bit warmer and the patchouli came out, though it was subtle. All in all I liked it, but I wasn't crazy about it like I was for Saint.

This drys down to a very sweet smell on me that I dont find appealing. It does have warmth to it, but it seems that it's mostly a sweet girlie fragrance on me. I was hoping for something with an edge as the name suggests.

This is way too safe to be Sinner by Kat von D. I expected a lot more attitude and edge, maybe leather and insence notes with some other wild notes...This reminds me slightly of Etat libre D'orange's Rossy de Palma(!?)

mmmmm. This is a hit for me and my lack of tattoos. I got the rollerball after using a tester for few days. It's warm with a little kick to make it mysterious. The patchouli and cinnamon are just enough to not let the scent be fruity/floral. It reminds me of a few other perfumes in a good way, but not enough so that I can pinpoint which ones. The downside is that you do have to keep putting more on every few hours if you don't want it to fade out, but for the price it's worth it. I think anyone could wear this anytime and it would be delightful, not sinful. It kind of a day-to-night all around gem

When a boozy plum note, like the one that opens Kat Von D's Sinner, hits your nose, you think "Ah, the perfumers drew their inspiration from the mother of all sexy plum perfumes, Femme Rochas."

And, in fact, Sinner does betray some similarities with Femme. I'd call it "a sheerer Femme for a new generation.'

While Femme's plum harmonizes with a rich peach note, Sinner's tangos with a spritely mandarin. Femme ends with dense oak moss. Sinner with a more contemporary vanilla and patchouli.

The best way to compare the two might be this:

Femme wears a sharp-shouldered, nip-waist 1940s black crepe suit, a lace bustier, fishnets and stilettos. She's grand, imperious, a bit of a dominatrix.

Sinner is an emanation of Kat Von D. She wears a barely-there leather bra, low-slung leather pants, hobnail high-heel boots and tattoos from her neck to her navel -- and beyond. She's sexy in a breezy, rocker-chick way.

Femme stretches her long legs from a vintage Checker cab. Sinner perches on a motorcycle.

You get the picture.

Sinner didn't last that long on me, but a couple of spritzes from a sample kept it going all day.

A lot of younger women are going to want to get it on with Sinner.

Okay so I have it on my wrist right now. It is softer then what you might think for something called sinner. too soft. I put it an two hours ago and its barely there. I smell a little cinnamon, musk and vanilla. But it faded so fast that I can't even really comment on it :( It has potential as long as you carry the fragrance with you. The bottle is pretty too. I havent completely written this one off yet.

I HAVE to test them! both of kat's perfumes...
but, sure i'll have to wait until they arrive to Mexico ):
