To Be Hyperverse Woman
Anyone who already reaches for cherry in a perfume will want to try Police To Be Hyperverse Woman Eau de Parfum, and anyone who does not should stay well clear. The cherry here is dark and syrupy, closer to liqueur and cough candy than to fruit on a stalk, and it is paired from the first moment with tonka bean, which brings a cool, chalky sweetness and takes some of the sharpness off. That combination is the whole opening and it arrives at full volume.
Jasmine and cedarwood together make up the whole of the middle. The jasmine is creamy and rich and blurs the cherry's hard edges, while the cedarwood runs dry and faintly resinous underneath to give the fragrance a spine it would otherwise lack. It is a small heart doing a necessary job, and without the timber running through it the fruit would simply sit on the skin and sweeten. Then bergamot and tuberose, which is an unusual way to finish anything. The bergamot arrives bright and tart at the end, where you would normally expect it at the start, and the effect is to keep the sweetness from becoming heavy. Tuberose supplies the real weight, creamy and heady with a green, almost rubbery streak that is the mark of the material. Six materials in total, so there is no long evolution here, just a bold idea stated clearly and held. The parfum concentration gives it serious persistence, and two sprays will carry an entire evening. Cold weather suits it and so does the dark.
An Italian name under De Rigo control, Police built itself on eyewear from 1983 and then widened out. Fragrance was the category that made that possible, with men's and women's scents on sale since 1997.
