by Strangers Parfumerie
Magenta Pop by Strangers Parfumerie is a bold, synthetically driven fragrance that leans into a candy-adjacent, nostalgic olfactory theme. The opening bursts with acidic grape and sweet powder, layered with spicy cinnamon, honeyed undertones, and a faint animalic civet note. Over time, it evolves into a smoother, more translucent blend of honey, warm spice, and incense—reminiscent of a vintage headshop or a retro nightclub. While some reviewers detect a playful, bubblegum-like grape candy aura, many note that the sweetness is restrained, with greater emphasis on balsamic, medicinal, and smoky layers. The scent features a distinct dry-down dominated by leather, licorice, and tobacco, creating a complex and layered profile that is simultaneously sweet and bitter. It's highly unisex in appeal, with most users associating it with evening wear in colder months. Sillage is moderate, longevity is moderate to long, and many find it better suited for personal wear than public spaces.
