Transcript:
Sinner by Kat Von D is the “bad girl” side of the tattoo babe’s Saint and Sinner perfume duo. This eau de parfum is a beautiful blend of sweet orange blossom, jasmine and warm, musky woods.

Sinner is a pretty respectable dupe of one of my recent favorites: Juliette Has a Gun Lady Vengeance. That one is a va-va voom perfume with rose and patchouli. Sinner does a similar number with jasmine instead of rose.

I like how Sinner is warm and dramatic without being a big ol’ soupy mush of competing notes. The drydown puts me in mind of Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely with its white florals and musk. Overall, Sinner is a “hot night out” perfume for younger vixens.

According to Kat Von D’s division of the world into Saints and Sinners, I’d have to say I’m emphatically a Sinner. That’s what my nose is telling me, anyway!

If you’re gonna smell like a Sinner, you need to look wicked! Click on over to Vintage or Tacky to see Cora’s Sinner-inspired make-up tutorial. You’re gonna look bad! Well, not bad…but “bad”! I’m Katie Puckrik, and I smell.

    I’m trying to find a new scent for everyday, and love vanilla and coconut. Any suggestions?

    Such an interesting question, & there’s an interesting answer: deep, smoky perfumes like Guerlain Shalimar & Caron Tabac Blond became popular from the 1920s onward as more women took up smoking. It was felt that the smoky, slightly caramalized vanilla in Shalimar & the leather & tobacco in Tabac Blond complimented the smell of cigarette smoke. I don’t smoke myself, but I’d go for scents with smoke, tobacco, leather, iris, vetiver & incense. Try Bulgari Black, Hermès Calèche, & Shalimar.

    katie: i just realized how much of my affinity towards certain perfumes is moulded by the fact that I am a smoker. I have a couple of smells that I loved, bought, though wore well on me, only to be turned off it after my hourly nicotine fix. Are there any particular notes and perfumes that work well with the smell of tobacco, in your opinion? Light florals do nothing for me…

    Hi Katie, it’s the vanilla girl;)
    I liked your description of Sinner, so I stopped by Sephora to test it on my wrist. I LOVE it! I’m discovering that I like “warm, musky woods”, as you described it, but only when done in a subtle and more youthful way. Heavy and dark scents turn me off.
    Thanks for introducing me to yet another amazing perfume!
