  Farewell to the true king of pop…

  Prince rejected big corporations to forge his fragrance. He wanted a crown of musk, sandalwood, and cedar gems, but he stumbled upon a realm that transcends any jewel or scepter. The number 7 sums up the numbers in his name, his favorite digit from the 7 Wonders to the 7 Deadly Sins; that duality frames the scent. It’s androgynous: white flowers and cedar and sandalwood woods. It’s retro and contemporary at the same time: avant-garde with classic reminiscences. 3121 is a dark forest sleeping in a cold night, shedding the day’s heat, exhaling an elixir of bitter, musky, and spicy white flowers: bergamot, neroli, jasmine, gardenia, lily, and ylang-ylang. There’s no sweetness in the air; only cold white flowers in a moonless night. It’s moving blindly through rugged terrain, supported by the still-faint warmth of sandalwood and cedar trunks, and like a path of yellow tiles leading to the heart of the forest, which, like in Oz, is the heart of the prince who rules it. It’s a unique fragrance, strong yet delicate at the end. With over 8 hours of longevity and a trail between strong and moderate, it goes against the grain: zero sugar, zero vanilla. It doesn’t aim to conquer masses or seek false praise. It craves that you love it, with its 7 wonders but also its sins. R.I.P. Prince. You transcend again.

  Prince refused the big brands to create his own essence. He was looking for a crown of musk, sandalwood, and cedar, but he ran into a kingdom that surpasses any jewel. The number 7 sums the numbers in his name, his magical and favorite number, from the 7 Wonders to the 7 Deadly Sins; that duality defines the scent. It’s androgynous: white flowers with cedar and sandalwood woods. It’s retro and modern at the same time: avant-garde with classic touches. 3121 is a dark forest sleeping in a cold night without the day’s heat, releasing an elixir of bitter, musky, and spicy white flowers: bergamot, neroli, jasmine, gardenia, lily, and ylang-ylang. There is no sweetness; there are cold, dark white flowers in a moonless night. It’s moving blindly across rugged ground, supported by the warm trunks of sandalwood and cedar, and like a path of yellow tiles leading to the heart of the forest, which is the heart of the prince who commands it. It’s a unique fragrance, strong but delicate at the end. With over 8 hours of longevity and a strong-to-moderate trail, it goes against the current: zero sugar, zero vanilla. It doesn’t seek false applause or to conquer everyone. It wants you to love it with its 7 wonders and sins. R.I.P. Prince. You transcend again.

  Good afternoon Ylla: thanks to your review, I bought this perfume blind and I absolutely love it! I don’t understand why there’s only one review before mine for this magnificent scent (glad at least there are plenty in English). Reviewing from the outside in: the packaging is perfect, box within a box. The outer one has a photo of Prince, and the inner one features an orange and purple kaleidoscope (that purple was his fetish color). In the center, the number 3121 vertically. Upon opening, a gorgeous bottle with purple liquid and the number 3121 on a gold background. They really took care of the design, especially considering the modest price. It’s not your typical celebrity perfume, not even with a slight nod to Elizabeth Taylor. The best part is the scent: it gives the impression of a high concentration of essential oils. The opening is floral mixed with cedar; the gardenias and then the neroli are exquisite. As it dries, the flowers soften, revealing cedar, musk, patchouli, and sandalwood. Everything is wrapped in an incense-like halo that fixes very well. The trail is heavy for two hours, then moderate. Longevity is moderate, leaning towards long-lasting. It came out in 2007, but it doesn’t feel like that era of fruity and aquatic scents; it reminds me more of the baroque or futuristic, a perfect blend of the past and the future. The image of Prince suits it well: it’s unisex, super original, and different. It’s opulent and excessive, just like Prince himself. For me, it’s a gem; I even have a backup bottle. I use it at costume parties (Venetian ballroom, obviously) or outdoor rock concerts. The price is a gift. Prince, besides his songs and stage presence, will be remembered for his perfume. Best regards.

  3121 Prince Good afternoon Ylla: Thanks to your review, I bought it blind and I absolutely love it! Well, let me give my opinion: I don’t understand why there’s only one review before mine for this magnificent perfume (glad at least there are plenty in English). I’ll start from the outside in because the packaging really caught my attention: box within a box. The outer one has a photo of Prince, and the inner one features a kaleidoscopic image in orange and purple (Prince’s fetish color). In the center, the number 3121 appears vertically. Upon opening it, a gorgeous bottle with purple liquid and the number 3121 vertically on a gold background. This shows a lot of care, especially given the modest price. It’s not the typical celebrity perfume, not even with references to Elizabeth Taylor. The best part is the scent: it gives the impression of a high concentration of essential oils. The opening is floral but mixed with cedar. The combination of flowers, highlighting gardenias first and then neroli, is exquisite. As it dries, the flowers soften and reveal the cedar, musk, and patchouli. Let’s not forget the sandalwood. The whole ensemble is wrapped in an incense-like halo that provides good fixity. The trail is heavy for two hours, then moderate. Longevity is moderate, leaning towards long-lasting. It came out in 2007 and doesn’t seem typical of its era when fruity and aquatic scents were in fashion. It seems more baroque or futuristic. A perfect blend of the past and the future. Thanks to Prince’s image, it suits both men and women. It’s super original and different from everyone else. An opulent and excessive perfume, just like Prince himself. For me, it’s a real gem. I already have a backup bottle. I use it at costume parties (obviously a Venetian ballroom) as well as outdoor rock concerts. The price is definitely a gift. Apart from his songs and stage presence, Prince can also be remembered for his perfume. Best regards.
