60-Second Critic: 3121

From $31.21 at select Macy’s and 3121perfume.com

By Jessica Blatt

There’s nothing subtle about Prince — he is, after all, an artist who changed his name to a symbol. So it’s no surprise that his new women’s fragrance, 3121, is also over-the-top: The emerald-shaped bottle, with a 22-karat gold panel, is filled with purple (reign!) potion. Then there’s the scent itself. The maker behind 3121, Philly-based Revelations, says to expect notes of bergamot, jasmine, gardenia, orange flower, muguet, tuberose, ylang-ylang, patchouli and sandalwood. It’s a hefty mixture, for sure, one that an office-mate said was reminiscent of Perfume Barbie. Still, there’s more than kitschy thrill: On the day of 3121’s debut, July 7th, seven percent of sales will be split among seven charities. Rock on. Grade: C
