Prince in a collar, high and stiff, worthy of Karl Lagerfeld. Hello, Dorian Gray.
In a colors by the numbers moment here wherein red-hot performance, provocation, and sensuality meet the cool geekery of color-swatches, we provide as a public service, the official Prince shade of purple (Hex #450045 and significantly: RGB 69,0,69).
This on the occasion of Prince doing 21 nights in London for his Earth Tour and the launch on July 7, 2007 (07-07-07) of 3121, his new fragrance.
What is it that olifactorily captures the essence of Prince? Apparently, it’s complex, “a white floral scent” involving bergamot, jasmine, gardenia, orange flower, muguet (?), tuberose, ylang ylang, patchouli (bummer), sandalwood, cedarwood, and musk (duh). Whew!
You know you’d look hot in a Prince-like jumpsuit. Fire up the hi-fi. “I only want 2 see U, only want 2 see U in the purple rain.”
WHAT TO DO NOW?
